Cheers to a decade of progress! 🎉  As we celebrate our 10th SNAPP-y birthday, we reflect on our journey of bridging science and nature to drive meaningful change for people and the planet.    Together, we've fostered innovative solutions, empowered communities, and championed sustainable practices. Here’s to many more years of collaboration and impact! 🌍 ✨  #SNAPP10 #ScienceForChange #NatureForPeople 

Join us in welcoming one of our newest 2024 SNAPP Working Groups: Resilient Rangelands!    The Resilient Rangeland working group, led by Michele Bowe from RSPB, Alyona Koshkina from ACBK — Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan, and Otgonsuren Avirmed from Wildlife Conservation Society Mongolia, is working to develop pathways for rangeland management in Kazakhstan and Mongolia to align nature conservation goals with agricultural development.    This working group is closely aligned with the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, where ACBK and RSPB are key members of a multinational initiative working to conserve and restore the steppe grassland, wetland and deserts of the region. The Initative was recently announced as a finalist for The Earthshot Prize in the ‘Protect and Restore Nature’ category.   Visit their page on the SNAPP website to learn more! https://lnkd.in/e2zJv-dv  #Welcome #WorkingGroups #SNAPPCohorts #GlobalScience #conservation #evidencebasedsolutions 

#WorkingGroupWednesday    Join us in welcoming one of our newest 2024 SNAPP Working Groups: Monitoring Restoration Effectiveness! While billions are invested in global ecological restoration, most projects lack adequate long-term funding for monitoring efforts, often limited to two years. To maximize resources, we need standardized guidelines for proper monitoring to measure success. This working group, led by Missouri Botanical Garden, University of Minnesota, ETH Zürich, and TNC Colombia will leverage stakeholder networks and reviewing existing datasets, this group will assess if short-term data can predict long-term outcomes and how these vary by environmental conditions.

Congratulations to the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative and its member organization on this exciting recognition! 🎉🎉🎉 SNAPP is proud to play a part in advancing this important work through our recently launched Resilient Rangelands working group!

A fantastic opportunity has opened for a Senior Specialist to join a consortium of temperate grassland experts as part of the Resilient Rangelands project, funded by Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP). The post is hosted by our partner, ACBK, in Kazakhstan, and the post holder will work closely with project participants from the RSPB, Wildlife Conservation Society in Mongolia, University of Oxford, University of Reading, and the wider Working Group. The application deadline is the 16th of September, for more information: https://lnkd.in/ehEHdNyn

#WorkingGroupWednesday    Join us in welcoming one of our newest 2024 SNAPP Working Groups: Salmon, Forests and Fire! With wildfires increasing across western North America, preserving salmonids and promoting fire resilience amid climate change is vital for local communities, but thus far approaches to the management of both have lacked integration. This group, led by The Nature Conservancy in Washington, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, University of Washington, and Colorado State University, will engage communities and a multi-organizational group of stakeholders to develop tools to integrate wildfire management with salmonid recovery.

🎉🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of SNAPP! 🎉🎉 Over the past decade, we've been dedicated to providing evidence-based solutions for specific global challenges at the intersection of conservation and human well-being. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without the ongoing support of our incredible partners The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society and our board of directors, working groups, and team members. Thank you all! 🌟  To read more about our some the projects we are proud to have been a part of through our working groups check out our latest blog (authored by our very own Miranda Wolfe): https://lnkd.in/e5mB8TJa

#WorkingGroupWednesday    Join us in welcoming one of our newest 2024 SNAPP Working Groups: Sharing the Benefits of Conservation! This working group, led by Wildlife Conservation Society Cambodia, RECOFTC, and The Nature Conservancy, will gather project implementers, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, carbon market actors and researchers with experience in nature-based carbon projects.    By combining knowledge, they’ll create and test guidelines to improve equity in benefit-sharing among project partners, including communities, #NGOs, developers, and governments.
