Hello fellow friends and colleagues, We're taking our passion for wildlife conservation to new heights, quite literally! Serge Stepanian, Joseph Berton, and I are gearing up to climb the iconic CN Tower, not just for the breathtaking views, but for a cause that's even closer to our hearts – supporting the World Wildlife Foundation and animal welfare around the world. We need to collectively raise a minimum of $500 to earn our stripes (and steps) for this challenge. This is where we need your support to make a giant leap for wildlife conservation. Why donate? Here are three compelling reasons: - Wildlife Conservation: Your support helps protect endangered species and their habitats. It's like giving Mother Nature a high five! - Health & Fitness with a Purpose: We're swapping our office chairs for stair climbing - that's 1,776 steps, to be exact. Think of your donation as cheering us on, step by step! - Community Spirit: It’s a fantastic way to show that our professional community can come together for a cause that extends beyond boardrooms and balance sheets. Any amount you contribute will make a significant impact and bring us closer to our goal. Plus, you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you've played a pivotal role in our (quite literal) climb to success! Let's climb this tower together, for the planet and its wildlife. Your support means the world to us – and to the world we're trying to protect!

Introducing our 1 million pound fundraising appeal: Save Surrey's Nature ❌ 1 in 6 species are at risk of extinction in the UK ❌ 1/3 of Surrey’s species are in serious decline, or are already extinct ❌ Native species have declined by 19% on average since 1970 Save Surrey’s Nature will support our plans to work on our reserves and with partners across the county to restore and expand Surrey’s most diverse and threatened habitats – including nationally-significant heathland and chalk grassland and vital woodlands and wetlands – to help the wildlife that lives there. SWT Chief Executive, Sarah-Jane Chimbwandira says: “With the climate and biodiversity crisis biting harder than ever and putting people as well as wildlife at risk, now’s the time to think and act bigger. For all our sakes, nature’s decline must stop here. "With costs rising, wildlife and the people who work to protect it are more dependent than ever on the generosity of local people. Even if you can only give a small amount, please consider making this investment in our future.” Nature's sending an SOS - will you answer the call? If you can, please donate today ➡️ https://bit.ly/4aOacU7 #SaveSurreysNature #MillionPoundAppeal #SurreyWildlifeTrust

Los Padres ForestWatch is seeking the public's support to permanently protect Tecuya Ridge's 68 acres of forest habitat in Los Padres National Forest, which is near the convergence of California's Los Angeles, Ventura, and Kern county lines. Tecuya Ridge is a place where endangered California condors soar overhead, where black bears and mountain lions and deer roam, and where breathtaking views stretch from the snow-capped Sierra Nevada to Mt. Pinos and the Sespe backcountry. It’s also a place called Tacuy^ that is culturally and spiritually important to Chumash and Yokuts people. By purchasing this land, we can immediately remove the risk posed by logging, mining, and other development. Our long-term plan is to hold the property in a conservation easement to ensure that it will never again come under threat of development. This living, thriving forest will be used for ecological study, education, traditional indigenous gathering and ceremony, and left to do what forests do best—provide wildlife habitat, regulate our climate, replenish the soil, and serve as an inspiration for us all. Our Tecuya Forever campaign seeks to raise $300,000 to cover the property’s appraised purchase price, closing costs, and completion of a long-term management plan and conservation easement for the land. Your donation will help protect this forest in perpetuity, for generations to come. Learn more about Tecuya Forever: https://lnkd.in/g2SjQT-B #conservation #california #environment 

🐺 Only 10 days left to reach the goal! Please consider making a small donation to help build eco bridges (wildlife crossings) for the critically endangered Red Wolves in North Carolina—fewer than 25 remain in the wild. Eco bridges are a tangible, visible action that can make a real difference in protecting these incredible animals. In addition, any contribution will help secure additional federal funding for future conservation efforts. Why I support this initiative: Eco bridges are not just a lifeline for the Red Wolves, but they can also inspire broader conservation and green initiatives across the country.

Happy World Turtle Day! Even though Spotted Turtles have a large distribution, they are declining across most of their range. Listed as endangered in Canada and on the IUCN Red List, Spotted Turtles face a wide variety of threats. Similar to many other species, habitat loss and fragmentation are occurring across their range. Roads can be particularly challenging for turtle populations, and research has shown that mortality of just a handful of adult Spotted Turtles due to vehicle strikes can cause populations to decline. Because of their size and appearance, Spotted Turtles are frequently collected from wild populations to be sold in the pet trade. Similar to road mortality, a single collecting event can remove enough adult turtles to push populations into a downward spiral towards extirpation. By supporting The Orianne Society you can help us learn more about Spotted Turtles, guiding future conservation efforts for this species. If you care about turtles, support our work by donating or becoming a member today. https://lnkd.in/gp7q8PVA #OrianneSociety #turtle #spottedturtle #clemmysguttata #wildlife #conservation #worldturtleday #worldturtleday2024

💡 Spotlight on Partnership for Species: Cape buffalo Conservation Status: Near Threatened 💛 (decreasing) The Cape (or African) buffalo is one of the most iconic species to find when visiting Africa due to its magnificent size (weighing 935-2,000 lbs). Adult females exhibit "voting behavior" by standing, moving in one direction, and lying back down. Their final orientation helps guide the herd's movement. Unfortunately populations are decreasing due to illegal hunting. Without increased protection, Cape buffalo will become threatened. Support our Partnership for Species and other programs by donating or learning more: https://lnkd.in/gfHX8FGJ. The goal of PFS is to achieve population sustainability in both captivity and in their native habitat. 📸 White Oak Conservation #rewild #conservation #savingspecies
