Are you ready to go on an adventure? 🌳 A new art installation in northern Minnesota by artist Thomas Dambo brings larger-than-life trolls and a scavenger hunt spanning miles to the region’s parks. All made out of recycled materials, these trolls weave together a story about overconsumption and conservation. Even more than that, they inspire their visitors to find the value in whimsical fun in nature and in storytelling itself. Read on to learn about an adventure through fields, into woods, and over (or under?) bridges to find giant trolls and a mysterious golden rabbit – and what it all means. 🌉🌾🐰 📲 https://lnkd.in/e4CBjPRg 📸: Lydia Sulik #Trolls #ThomasDambo #Minnesota #Conservation #Storytelling

Wildlife Help Forests Store Carbon 🌳♻️ Could cracking down on poaching in the tropics also help fight climate change? Many of the mammals and birds frequently killed by illegal and commercial hunters in tropical forests are either fruit eaters that disperse seeds from big trees with high carbon storage capacity or browsers that help those big trees thrive by thinning the underbrush. Globally, intact tropical forests remove and store an estimated 3.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually. Want to learn more?

Weaving The Past With The Present 🕛🌎 Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have come to understand the intricacies that make their home a livable one. To this day, up to 22 percent of the global lands owned, occupied, or used by Indigenous peoples contain an estimated 80 percent of global biodiversity. Knowing this, it is fundamental for successful conservation efforts to understand and integrate Intergenerational Knowledge systems. Want to learn about Intergenerational Knowledge?

Smol and fierce! 🐥💪 The American Kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America – and one of the most colorful! They can be found throughout North America in both the countryside and cities, as long as it’s anywhere with enough open space where they can hunt for small prey, with grasshoppers being a particular favorite. They are also mysterious little birds. While researchers know their general range, there is much they do not know about their particular territories, or where they tend to hunt most. Fine, keep your secrets! One mystery scientists are seriously trying to solve is why kestrel populations, despite being one of the most common falcons in North America, are in decline. Federal funding from crucial bills like the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act could help keep these small and mighty falcons in the skies across the US for years to come (and keep them tackling those pesky grasshopper swarms). #wildlife #conservation #nature #birds #funfacts

Hydroelectric dams are causing more harm than good—river fragmentation, which often results from dams built, is a major factor in fish population declines.
