Wade Crowfoot just curious when these structures are installed has thought gone into soil media to support vegetation growing on the installation? I ask because soil media can be amended with forest derived biochar. This would help to keep vegetation green longer, with less clay (weight) on the structure. Then there is the fact that using forest derived biochar can also reduce risk of ignition and spread of fire in the same habitat.

Tigers play a crucial role in our ecosystems, but they need #SustainableFinancing to thrive. On #GlobalTigerDay, learn from the World Wildlife Fund how long-term funding can help ensure tiger habitats are protected, climate-resilient & beneficial to local communities: https://lnkd.in/d6BnYJBs

Such important work to save such an important species.

🚫🐾 Stop Illegal Wildlife Trade! It's heartbreaking to see our precious wildlife exploited for profit. Every year, countless animals are snatched from their habitats and traded illegally. 😢 🔒 We need stronger laws and enforcement to protect these creatures. 🦏 Let's stand together to stop the trafficking of endangered species and preserve biodiversity for generations to come. 🌱 📖Take action now! Read the report and delve into the case studies to understand the gravity of this issue and what we can do to combat it effectively. 💼 #StopWildlifeCrime #ProtectOurWildlife 🐅

Just some of the 72 This image shows wildlife rescuer and carer Emma from Bungalook Creek Wildlife Shelter weighing just some of her 72 rescued Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) pups in care. At one stage Emma had 109 to look after! Wrapped in ‘mumma rolls’ to keep warm and secure before being weighed, the majority of these pups were found alone in colonies. Why? Maybe their mums didn't make it home due to being caught in barbed wire, illegal fruit-tree netting or were electrocuted. There was also a starvation event this year. By helping disperse pollen and seeds up the east coast of Australia, Grey-headed Flying-foxes are keystone species (which is an animal that helps define an entire ecosystem, and without them, ecosystems would be dramatically different or even cease to exist altogether) and so are vital for the health and regeneration of many of our forests. Listed as vulnerable to extinction, significant threats include continued habitat destruction and climate change (e.g. heat stress, cold snaps) related events. #greyheadedflyingfox #fruitbat #bat #mum #pup #baby #vulnerable #keystonespecies #conservationphotography #wildlifephotography

US Fish & Wildlife finds that in the last 10 years, North America has lost more than 50 million acres of grasslands. At a total loss of 80%. The World Wildlife Fund reports that 2.6 million acres of grassland habitat was lost in the North American Great Plains in 2019 alone. Ranching protects these landscapes from being sold to developers, rock quarries, or tilled for cropland. The last stand against the Anthropocene. Our grazing lands are the Great Barrier Reef of North America. #AmazingGrazingLands

To protect work landscapes such as grazing rangelands and enhance their biodiversity is perhaps one of the most important ecological tasks of my generation. Why regenerative meat, leather, tallow, wool? Because these can be and often are by-products of rangelands conservation.

Australian native animals are critical to our ecosystems. They rely on us to protect them and respect the importance of their life on earth. ⁠ ⁠ We share these principles with @goldbullionaustralia, so we’ve teamed up to share some patient stories from Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital and spread the word about the value of wildlife and how we must invest in protecting it. ⁠ It’s hard to imagine a more iconic animal than the kangaroo 🦘When it comes to protecting wildlife like kangaroos, many feel they don’t have the power to make a difference. Everyone can help to make a difference for our wildlife, even if it’s just sharing the message. ⁠ 🔵 Donate to wildlife hospitals like ours which provide life-saving care. ⁠ 🔵 Keep your dogs on leash at all times in wildlife areas.⁠ Roos and Macrapods are particularly susceptible to stress myopathy which can occur when frightened or chased by dogs. 🔵 Slow down on our roads at dawn and dusk.⁠ 🔵 Check the pouch. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #ByronBayWildlifeHospital #WildlifeVeterinaryCare #AustralianCharity #NativeWildlifeHeroes #ProtectAussieWildlife #HealWithHeart #ByronBayWildlifeRescue #WildlifeWellness #AustralianWildlifeHeroes #NurturingNativeSpecies

Our report explores the impact of wildlife trafficking on 4,000 animal and plant species. It shows that wildlife crime threatens species, disrupts ecosystems, influences the climate, causes health risks and leads to loss of livelihoods. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3UpwV2k #EndWildlifeCrime
