Teys commitment to positively impacting the planet means we partner with Australian famers who are prioritizing environmental stewardship and conservation of their land. These efforts are their legacy towards a sustainable future for generations to come. With unwavering commitment, they safeguard the land and environment, ensuring their land continues to thrive. Because of these dedicated farmer's care, 80% of the natural resource management regions have achieved robust ground cover thresholds. This ground cover, which encompasses lush vegetation and vital plant material, plays a crucial role in the eco-system. By maintaining this healthy ground cover, our farmers combat soil erosion, preserve essential moisture, and foster the overall vitality of the land. We are proud to partner with these environmental champions, and to support a legacy of responsible land management. 🌱🌍 #EnvironmentalStewardship #SustainableLegacy #ConsciousChoices

Buffering Beauty: Protecting Georgia’s Streams with Natural Barriers Happy #ThirstyThursday everyone! Today, we shine a light on the crucial role of stream buffers in safeguarding Georgia’s precious waterways. At GWES, we understand that these natural barriers are essential for maintaining the health and vitality of our streams and the ecosystems they support. Did you know? Stream buffers, areas of vegetation alongside streams, play a significant role in filtering pollutants, reducing erosion, and providing habitat for wildlife. They act as protective shields, maintaining water quality and enhancing biodiversity. Stream buffers are more than just green spaces; they are vital components of a sustainable water management strategy. GWES is dedicated to designing and implementing effective stream buffer zones that help protect our waterways from urban runoff, agricultural activities, and other potential sources of pollution. This Thirsty Thursday, let’s appreciate the importance of stream buffers and how GWES contributes to preserving the health of Georgia's streams through thoughtful and sustainable environmental practices.

"Through [the Great Bear Rainforest] negotiations, carbon offsets became an important opportunity that both the province and First Nations wanted to work towards." For First Nations in the #GreatBearRainforest, carbon offsets help fund valuable conservation initiatives like Guardian and stewardship programs. But they've also come with challenges. Here's a great read on how First Nations are working to combat those, and why they remain optimistic on the idea of using carbon offsets to fund conservation: https://ow.ly/iWHW50QpgWL

It’s time to stand up and take action – protecting forests is too important to wait! Critique is easy, but constructive action is needed. Instead of dismissing efforts to bridge conservation and economic activity, we should advocate for transparency, accountability, and improvement in these systems. REDD+ projects have demonstrated their potential to protect millions of hectares of forest and significantly reduce carbon emissions. Therefore we need to assist these projects to succeed. #redd #conservation #carboncredits #ecosystemservices https://lnkd.in/eGEwYK29

To Scrapays Agents #EarthDay is a reminder of the crucial work they do on a daily basis. As stewards of the environment through their scrap business operations. They not only keep their surroundings clean but also incentivize and reward members of their community for participating in environmental conservation.

Sustainable Conservation accelerates critical restoration by partnering with agencies and project applicants to create expedited permit pathways that help protect our precious natural resources quickly. Support our Accelerating Restoration program to make these projects more feasible https://buff.ly/4cMJIDn

Partnerships are critical to helping create a #WaterPositiveFuture. 💧 Through collaboration with on-the-ground partners like @Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), @River Partners, @National Audubon Society, @Colorado River Indian Tribes Tribal Headquarters and others who have a deep knowledge of local challenges, communities, and landscapes in water-stressed areas, we're supporting solutions through local water restoration projects that improve, better manage or protect freshwater resources. As part of our strategy to help build a water positive future, we’re working to restore more water than is consumed at P&G manufacturing sites located in 18 water-stressed areas; and, restore more water than is consumed when using P&G products in the high water-stressed metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and Mexico City.

🌲 The Great Bear Forest Carbon Project: Leading the Way in Indigenous-Led Environmental Conservation 🌲 The Great Bear Forest Carbon Project is transforming conservation and economic development for First Nations communities. This groundbreaking initiative not only protects vital forests but also creates sustainable income through carbon offsets. Covering over 6 million hectares, it is the world's largest project of its kind and Canada’s first Indigenous-led carbon offset program. Key Benefits: 🌳 65% of carbon offset revenue funds stewardship programs 🌿 35% is allocated to community-driven initiatives Impact on Communities: 🛡️ Supports Guardian Watchmen programs to protect lands and waters 🐟 Funds resource technicians, fisheries guardians, and park rangers 🐻 Enables bear safety education programs 🏫 Finances youth centers and renovated Elder facilities The Great Bear Forest Carbon Project exemplifies how environmental conservation can drive economic prosperity and cultural preservation for Indigenous communities. #FirstNations #Sustainability #CarbonOffsets #Conservation
