Communica enjoyed getting our steps in at The Toledo Zoo & Aquarium yesterday morning!🦋🌞🐾 We love the Zoo's conservation efforts that provide habitats for many endangered species, including the Monarch Butterfly. The Wild Wellness Walkers program invites the community to walk the grounds in the morning before the Zoo opens. Sign up for the free program here: https://lnkd.in/dr77i2_E
Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. 🐦🏡 https://lnkd.in/gGgqAvVM
Flowers for Elephants by Peter Martell: This is an uplifting and empathic book about communities, conservation, and what can be achieved when both people and wildlife are prioritised equally. This comes at such an important time when more and more researchers and practitioners are asking questions about repairing our relationship with nature, Martell offers beautifully narrated insight into Lewa's success as a place of co-existence.
“What we do in wildlife is actually manage people…and we do that based on values. It’s driven by what the communities… that we live in value. We spend more money on the conservation of the wildlife that we value more, right or wrong.” Listen to the full episode with Dr. Erim Gomez at https://bit.ly/46E9t5Z
Driven by the idea that animal health is the key to a future where every species and generation can achieve their fullest potential.
How do different ways of knowing affect how we frame wildlife health and conservation problems and thus how we conceive solutions? This question is driving some early and invigorating dialogue between the McEachran Institute and the Philosophy Department at the University of Guelph. We are starting by spending time thinking about this question before we launch into how to address it. The goal is to find ways to better promote collaborative actions.
From bird baths to rocks, here are seven things people put in their gardens to help wildlife, and how well they work. What animals are using your backyard? And what backyard features entice wildlife to visit? These are the questions a group of researchers from The University of Western Australia, Perth NRM and 243 citizen scientists from 30 towns and cities in southwestern Australia set out to answer. We chatted with lead researcher, Dr Bronte Van Helden, about what they found. Check out our top six takeaways in this summary of the findings, plus helpful tips for how you can set up easy features in your gardens to help wildlife. Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, NACC NRM, Bruce Webber, Paul Close, Nicki Mitchell, Leonie Valentine, Holly Kirk, Sarah Bekessy, Wildlife Queensland, Rochelle Steven, Australian Citizen Science Association take a look and please share.

The dynamics of #protected and #conservedarea #conservation efforts have always been complex. Quite interestingly, most recent strategies are pinning a keen eye to the #socioecological, #biocultural and #sociocultural dynamics unique to communities adjacent to these pristine ecosystems. The 12th World Wilderness Congress, #WILD12 comes up later this year and aims to shape, redefine the narrative around the concept of #Wildernesses, how we interpret and can effectively ensure and enhance their integrity-as a haven for #biodiversity and #heritage, not forgetting their role in the continued fight against the #climatecrisis as an #adaptation tool. Catch a glimpse of my insights on why this Congress, is particularly important for youth and early career professionals; https://lnkd.in/dAEGAGBp Interested in attending #WILD12?
