Until recently, conservationists often designed carbon capture projects to focus on restoring flora - the doorways of the carbon cycle. That strategy overlooked how nuanced and deeply entangled all elements of life are. Emerging research on rewilding suggests a more effective approach is to look up the food chain to mammal species that are integral to animating the carbon cycle (regulating it at every level). But just how much of a difference could rewilding make? Oswald Schmitz and Matteo Rizzuto from the Yale School of the Environment begin to answer that question in a new paper published this month by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Schmitz shares his work today with the in-person audience of the 2024 ILCN Global Congress in Quebec, Canada. Recordings of sessions like this one will be available on the ILCN website after October 18. You can also tune in to select Congress sessions and ceremonies virtually this afternoon and tomorrow morning at the link in the comments.

Today at the International Land Conservation Network’s (ILCN) 2024 Global Congress in Quebec, Canada, the Lincoln Institute presented the ILCN 2024 Conservation Visionary Award to two chiefs of Indigenous Nations in North America. Mandy Gull-Masty, Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee) and Chairperson of the Cree Nation Government (Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee)Cree Nation Government), received the award on behalf of the many individuals who contributed to the implementation of the Cree Regional Conservation Strategy. Anne Richardson, Chief of the Rappahannock Tribe in Virginia, received the award for her leadership in returning her tribe to their ancestral lands along the Rappahannock River and preserving—in perpetuity—their natural and cultural importance. The ILCN Conservation Visionary Award is presented every three years at the ILCN’s triennial Global Congress to exceptional leaders and organizations that have made enduring contributions to land conservation policy and practice. This year’s Global Congress is bringing together 250 land conservation practitioners across six continents from October 16 to 18 in Quebec, Canada. The 2024 Global Congress is cohosted by Canada’s leading land conservation organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada.

I am delighted to be part of the 2024 ILCN Congress starting tonight. My engagements since 2018 have observed an increase in the participation of Indigenous communities. This year ILCN celebrates the role of Indigenous communities across the world in the conservation of large landscapes. I look forward to meaningful conversations in the next couple of days with this global community of land conservationists. Thank you to the ILCN team, The Nature Conservancy Canada, RBC and all the other sponsors who have made this congress possible.

Curves in rivers, also known as meanders, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and dynamic ecosystem. A healthy river has meanders that migrate downstream slowly moving the bends within its floodplain, which is one reason NVCA monitors the entire floodplain. Here are some reasons why meanders are beneficial as well as beautiful: Erosion Control: Curves naturally slow down the flow of water, reducing the speed at which it moves downstream. This helps slow the rate of erosion, protecting riverbanks and surrounding habitats. Sediment Distribution: As water slows in the curves, it allows sediments to settle. This creates fertile areas along the banks which support diverse plant and animal life. Flood Mitigation: Meanders increase the length of a river, spreading out the water flow and reducing the risk of flooding. This also helps in recharging groundwater levels as water seeps into the ground more effectively. Give Fish a Place to Rest and Grow: Meanders create slow moving pockets in otherwise fast-moving stretches, which provide resting spots for migrating fish. These slow-moving sections also provide nursery habitat for young fish because they require less energy for the fish to swim without being taken by the current. Water Quality Improvement: The slowing of water flow in meanders helps filter pollutants and sediments, leading to cleaner water downstream. This natural purification process benefits both wildlife and human communities. These natural benefits make river curves an essential feature in promoting the overall health and sustainability of river ecosystems. Since 1962, Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada and NVCA have worked in partnership to protect over 5,500 hectares (about two-thirds) of this unique habitat. This year, we worked together to put curves back Willow Creek in Minesing Wetlands. Check out what the process was like through their blog post here: https://lnkd.in/g6wuK6yB
