🚨🦜 Shocking News: Bird Populations in Crisis! 🌏💔 Researchers have uncovered a startling reality: human activities have led to a dramatic increase in bird extinctions. 📉🐦 🔍 A study by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and UCL scientists reveals that over 1,400 bird species have vanished, largely due to our actions. 🌲🔥 🌴 From the lush islands of the Pacific to our backyards, the impact is widespread. 🏝️🐦 It's not just about losing birds; it's about losing biodiversity. 🌿🐾 ✨ Read our detailed article to understand the full scope of this crisis and what it means for our planet. 🌍📚 Stalk Us: Karmactive 🔗 Click the link in bio to learn more and find out how we can help. ➡️📖 https://lnkd.in/giEmEC-5 🔔 Follow @karmactive for more eye-opening environmental updates! 🌐💚 #BirdExtinction #BiodiversityCrisis #EnvironmentalConservation #WildlifeResearch #ProtectOurPlanet #EcoAwareness #NatureAlert #Karmactive 🌳🦉

The Cassowary, often dubbed the ‘most dangerous bird in the world’ due to its powerful legs and sharp claws, is now facing a far greater threat—extinction. Native to Australia and New Guinea, this flightless bird plays a crucial role in rainforest ecology by dispersing seeds of over 150 different plant species. However, due to habitat loss, climate change, and human encroachment, the Cassowary population is declining rapidly, pushing this remarkable species closer to the brink of extinction. According to recent research, protecting such keystone species is essential for maintaining the biodiversity of our ecosystems. Conservation efforts need urgent acceleration to ensure that future generations will not just read about these birds in history books. As a market research company, Global Survey believes in the power of awareness and informed action. Understanding consumer perceptions about endangered species and environmental impact can help shape policies and mobilize support for conservation. Let’s spread the word and take action before it’s too late! #Conservation #SaveTheCassowary #GlobalSurvey #Biodiversity #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeProtection #MarketResearch

This important study emphasizes why shark conservation is so critical to ocean health. Without sharks, marine ecosystems collapse. The research collected and shared by these scientists gives the world the data needed to implement meaningful conservation solutions, consider how technology can have a role in the effort, and galvanizes decision-makers to take action.

For #WorldEarthDay, we are looking at some of our expert analysis services that help to protect human health and the natural environment. 16% of species in the UK are critically endangered, including Scottish wildcats, beavers, hazel dormice, and even hedgehogs. We need to protect these creatures to avoid adding to the 2% of species that have already become extinct. Our ecological and land management services include vegetation clearance, habitat management, rewilding projects, ecological surveys, and more, helping ecosystems and our planet thrive. We help businesses and industries adhere to ecological obligations whilst protecting wildlife.

🚨🦈 New study published in Science Magazine reveals the outsized role #sharks play in maintaining #biodiversity and ecosystem health. Sharks, often misunderstood, are critical to the health of marine environments. From the tropics to polar waters, and from the surface to the #deepsea, there are over 500 species of sharks that play a variety of roles in the ocean. 🌎 Recent research highlights how these magnificent creatures act as ecosystem architects. For example, the largest shark species help maintain healthy seagrass ecosystems, making them more resilient to extreme climate events. This vital role underscores the importance of sharks in the ocean's complex web of life. Unfortunately, sharks are in trouble. Overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change threaten their populations. The global commitments to fisheries reform and #30x30 provide a unique opportunity to include them as key components of biodiversity restoration efforts. By protecting sharks, we protect the ocean. Check out the new Shark Conservation Fund and Florida International University infographic and study to learn more about the many roles sharks play as ecosystem architects: https://lnkd.in/dcaW-9Sw #SharkConservationFund #SDG14 #MPAs FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education Michael Heithaus Yannis Papastamatiou Simon Dedman

So important to understand and conserve our apex predators. Recent papers have reinforced an understanding of their amazing intelligence and the critical role they play in the ocean ecosystem.

💬 “Wholesale moving of ecosystems can’t be undone, so should be very much a last resort. Our #woodland wildlife often depends on native trees: for example well over 300 species are completely dependent on our native oak trees." - Andrew Allen 👉 'As the world gets hotter, could helping trees migrate northwards protect them?' from Phoebe Weston in The Guardian https://lnkd.in/efRifffR 🌳 Native trees have a high capacity to adapt to change, especially if consideration is given to allowing regular cycles of natural regeneration.
