To Montana rancher Leo Barthelmess, the Northern Great Plains is a living, breathing system – one that needs stewardship and care. With a long family legacy tied to this land, Leo is taking sustainable grazing to new levels, rebuilding soil health, and fostering a resilient ecosystem. Leo’s work with the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance demonstrates what true stewardship looks like: it’s a commitment to balancing livelihoods with conservation, ensuring these prairies remain strong for future generations. Learn how the Bezos Earth Fund and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation are supporting ranchers like Leo to redefine land management and conservation in the Great Plains → https://bit.ly/3zB3WCm. #GenerationRestoration #NorthernGreatPlains

Shorebirds embark on some of the longest migrations on Earth, linking habitats and people across hemispheres. However, these world travelers face serious threats from habitat loss, human disturbance and predation. As a result, shorebirds are one of the North American bird guilds undergoing the steepest population declines. Through the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Initiative, we’re seeking proposals for conservation projects that will address threats to three focal species: American oystercatchers, red knots and whimbrels.

Pronghorn have lived in North America for millions of years, outlasting glacial ice ages and predation by now-extinct American cheetahs. But in the last century, habitat fragmentation, industrial and residential development, and diminished forage nearly decimated pronghorn populations and severely limited pronghorns’ ability to migrate. Through the Southern Great Plains Program, we’re soliciting proposals to improve landscape permeability for pronghorn and other species by removing and modifying fence. Learn more >> https://loom.ly/KRgIJfA Major funding partners in this effort include Burger King, Cargill, Walmart Foundation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. 📷: Pronghorn herd in New Mexico #pronghorn #conservation #wildlife #grassland

Collaboration 🤝 conservation From 2006 to 2023, the Sustain Our Great Lakes program has awarded a total of $128.6 million in conservation grants to nearly 500 projects. This achievement would not be possible without collaboration among federal, state and tribal governments, private organizations and nonprofits. Learn more about how we all come together to conserve this vital ecosystem. 👇 👇 The Sustain Our Great Lakes program is a public-private partnership between NFWF and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), USDA Forest Service, Caerus Foundation, Cleveland-Cliffs, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation. #greatlakes #conservation #environment #water #climate

Alaska hosts a multitude of species, big and small, found nowhere else on Earth. The state offers a tremendous conservation opportunity – much of the habitat remains intact and wildlife resources are abundant. At the same time, species populations are rapidly shifting in number and distribution, forcing local communities to adapt to a changing way of life. Through the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Fund, NFWF, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and USDA Forest Service are seeking proposals for further conservation of species and habitats in Alaska.

Acres for America, a NFWF and Walmart partnership, has helped to protect more than 2 million acres of wildlife habitat across the nation, while benefiting local communities and economies. 🙌 During the month of September, you can support NFWF and the Acres for America program by rounding up at checkout when shopping online at Walmart.com and Walmart will match those donations 2 to 1, up to $1 million. Rounding up is an easy way to support the conservation of wildlife habitat and contribute to this vital program.
So many of Walmart’s customers love to get out into the great outdoors for hiking, camping, water sports – you name it. Since 2005, Walmart and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation have been working together through the Acres for America program to help protect America’s natural landscapes for current and future generations. In the month of September, we’re providing an opportunity for our customers to join us in supporting conservation in communities across the country when they shop online at Walmart.com or in the app. From Sept. 1-30, customers can donate to NFWF at checkout, and Walmart will match those donations 2:1, up to $1 million. Over the years, Acres for America has helped conserve wildlife habitat, fostered access to the outdoors and supported local economies that rely on forestry, ranching and recreation. For example, the Kootenai Forestlands project in Montana protects habitat for a wide range of wildlife, and has plenty of opportunities for people to get outside year-round to hike, fish, kayak, ski and more. The Acres For America program started as a simple idea – conserve one acre of wildlife habitat for every acre used to develop Walmart stores. The program has far exceeded that goal – helping spark a total impact of $1.1 billion dollars and supporting the conservation of more than 2 million acres in almost every state. Today, it is recognized as one of the leading public-private land conservation efforts in America. We're looking forward to inviting our customers to join us in this big effort this month!

Meet Angela Floyd-Ryland, a proud fourth-generation farmer in Monroe County, Arkansas, who’s turning her family’s legacy into a lifeline for wildlife. With help from USDA-NRCS’s Wetland Reserve Easement Partnership and a grant from the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley Restoration Fund, with funding from International Paper and the Walton Family Foundation, Angela has transformed 39 acres of her flood-prone farmland into thriving wetlands. Thanks to these conservation programs and support from project partners including the KKAC FOUNDATION, The Nature Conservancy and the MISSISSIPPI RIVER TRUST, Angela is preserving her family’s land and restoring it to its natural state, providing a safe haven for fish, rabbits, quail and more. Angela was able to share her story with KARK 4 News by inviting the team out to her family’s land. Join us in celebrating the power of conservation and continuation of a family’s dream by watching Angela tell her story >> https://loom.ly/TKuwSNc

The vast grasslands of the Northern Great Plains support an amazing array of wildlife, yet this ecosystem is one of the most threatened and least protected in the country. Ranchers, farmers, Indigenous-led groups and the individuals who call this landscape home have come together around a common purpose: to safeguard this precious ecosystem for generations to come. Without locally led action, the destruction of this critical landscape would have global consequences. That’s why the Bezos Earth Fund and NFWF have teamed up to support this vision for vibrant, healthy grasslands that support biodiversity, carbon storage and America’s cultural richness. #grasslands #greatplains #prairie #conservation #wildlife
