Thanks to restoration efforts from NFWF grantee Island Conservation, rare Peruvian diving-petrels have returned to nest on Pajaros Uno Island in Chile. These diving-petrels haven’t been seen on the island in decades, but following Island Conservation’s work to remove invasive predators and employ social attraction techniques, these vital seabirds are back! This milestone not only ensures the survival of these birds, but also revitalizes the island’s entire ecosystem. Our Seabirds Program is soliciting proposals to improve populations of focal seabird species and other species like the Peruvian diving petrel through actions that increase survival and reproduction.

Did you know? 💡 June is #OrcaActionMonth in the Pacific Northwest and prime time to do some whale watching in the region. Killer whales are vital to the ecological and cultural fabric of the Pacific Northwest. The Southern Resident killer whale population experienced steep declines in the early 1970s and has yet to fully recover, even with increased management protection. Since 2015, we’ve supported endeavors to restore salmonid populations, improve water quality in the Salish Sea watershed, and promote a healthy food web to benefit these iconic mammals. #killerwhales #orca #orcamonth #wildlife #whale #whalewatching #conservation

The Southern Great Plains is home to a unique set of wildlife species that are specifically adapted to this wide-open stretch of grassland. Pronghorn, swift fox, prairie chicken, and other year-round residents live alongside human residents who are engaged in the ranching of livestock, primarily beef cattle. Today NFWF and partners announced nearly $7.4 million in grants through the Southern Plains Grasslands Program to improve grassland health, support biodiversity and increase carbon sequestration to improve climate resilience. By working to conserve this vital ecosystem, we’re providing essential resources to sustain and recover wildlife, increase climate resilience, and support the livelihoods of ranchers who steward this landscape.
