I'm still buzzing about The Nature Conservancy in Texas achieving its 1 Million Acres protected milestone! Check out this excellent StoryMap, created by Lauren Lombardo and our team, to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghs5kddr 1 million acres is big but how big? If you added up the municipal footprints of these American cities below (not their metro areas) - it would roughly add up to 1 million acres

In 2015, the Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group, The Nature Conservancy (Australia) and Kilter Rural, launched the Murray-Darling Basin Balanced Water Fund, the first investment vehicle in Australia to provide investors with the opportunity to achieve multiple objectives of securing water for agriculture, realising a financial return and restoring threatened wetlands. Below on the Riverspace site, you can see the wetlands and projects supported by donations of water we are managing in collaboration with many community and government organisations. The estimated 30,000 wetlands within the Murray-Darling Basin are highly diverse, ranging from vast floodplains, billabongs, and swamps to smaller wetlands and streams. The wetlands are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including several threatened and endangered species. Please take a moment to consider making a donation that will go towards restoration and protection of our wetlands. https://riverspace.au/

Through our partnership with The Nature Conservancy, Cummins Inc. employees in Chile are volunteering to help restore the High Andean wetlands, which play a crucial role in filtering water from glaciers and mitigating flooding and erosion. Watch our full video at the link below to see how our efforts have generated more than 38 million gallons of net water benefits in the region per year: https://lnkd.in/eucxCsx4

This weekend, we hosted an inspiring Reverse Tashlich Beach Cleanup at Leadbetter Beach in Santa Barbara! With 25 dedicated volunteers, we worked together from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM to remove trash and help protect our precious coastline. Reverse Tashlich is a new Jewish tradition. Water symbolizes life and renewal and rebirth. Reverse Tashlich takes that principle a step further by encouraging us to remove our physical impact from the ocean, aligning with our collective responsibility to care for the environment. The ocean is vital to life on Earth—it provides 50% of the oxygen we breathe, sustains marine ecosystems, and regulates our climate. It’s crucial that we, as stewards of this planet, protect it for future generations. We invite you to follow our journey and support our mission to build a global community of ocean advocates. Together, we can foster ocean health, protect marine life, and create lasting change. 🌍💙 Join us at Marine Conservation Network to stay updated on future initiatives, learn how you can get involved, and help us make oceans of difference! 🔗 Follow us: @MarineConservationNetwork 🔗 Website: marineconservationnet.org #ReverseTashlich #BeachCleanup #MarineConservation #Sustainability #TogetherWeMakeOceansOfDifference #GlobalOceanCommunity #OceanAdvocacy #EnvironmentalResponsibility #LeadbetterBeach #SantaBarbara #JewishValues #ConservationLeadership

The continued efforts of groups like The Nature Conservancy in restoring longleaf pine forests across the region have contributed significantly to the growth of red-cockaded woodpeckers, one of the best-known animals that thrive in longleaf forests. Throughout the Southeast, a coordinated effort is underway to conserve and restore these rich and vital forests that run through the heart of Mississippi. Spanning nine states in the U.S. southeast, we’re working together to restore and manage longleaf pine forest from Texas to Virginia. Longleaf pine once dominated the coastal plain blanketing more than 90 million acres. Today there are just 5.2 million acres, up from an historical low of 3.2 million acres two decades ago.
