Molokaʻi's wetlands are the cradles of Hawaiian culture, vital for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity. They teach us that conservation is more than science – it's a cultural dialogue. Read this inspiring story to discover how the Molokaʻi Wetland Partnership marries tradition with ecology, demonstrating the strength of #TraditionalKnowledge in restoring the ʻāina – land and water. https://ow.ly/5x6h50QuFEC

Every time you read about some wild species 'delaying' development know this: behind the bluster and propaganda is a poorly planned and managed project process which didn't do its initial scoping or options appraisal very well (or at all) didn't do its surveying in the right order or tried to save pennies doing it only to find it a false economy too late in the day. You might even find a developer who is just plain fibbing. I often did - they were all swagger and complaining when they had an audience then when I followed up formally for fact finding to resolve their 'issue' - phhht! Nothing to be found. Just posturing for effect. Trying to create an impression that nature was a barrier to development. Is it hell! Call it out Natural England Environment Agency Go back to publishing case work figures and reasons why crap applications get returned and maybe start charging bad developers for wasting tax payers money on woefully inadequate applications and expecting your staff to do the work for them free of charge. HM Treasury Green Book says you SHOULD recover money from businesses so go and recover it. Maybe Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs could grow a pair this time and let you? Not like developers are bankrolling The Labour Party like they did the last lot is it??

🌿 As part of our commitment towards biodiversity, we implemented a thorough training program on site ecology protection before commencing construction. Additionally, we developed a comprehensive landscape and habitat management plan that meticulously outlines specific objectives and timelines for various plant species. 🌿This approach ensures that our development harmonizes with the surrounding ecosystem, leaving a lasting legacy of sustainability. #sustainabilitymatters #developedbySpeedwell #realestate #buildingcommunities

Winter Spotlight: Habitat Management 🍃   As we embrace the colder (and wetter) months, our dedicated teams are busy out in the field, delivering crucial habitat management services:   • De-vegetation and ecology clearance • Landscaping and site preparation • Mechanised tree removal • British Standard tree protection • Installation of reptile fencing   Winter is the ideal time for these activities, minimising ecological disruption and setting the stage for spring growth.   #SustainableConstruction #AmetGroup #HabitatManagement  

Following #ReptileAwarenessDay, we're spotlighting the importance of protecting reptile habitats in our environment. At James Blake Associates our ecology and landscape teams work to create safe, sustainable habitats for reptiles across various landscapes. ✅ Protecting Reptile Habitats: Reptiles like common lizards, slow worms, adders, and grass snakes depend on specific conditions to thrive. Through careful planning, we integrate green corridors, sunlit basking spots, and undisturbed refuge areas into our projects, ensuring that reptiles can live safely alongside new developments or we translocate to safety. ✅ Species we survey and their unique habits: Our team frequently surveys native reptiles such as great crested newts, slow worms, adders, and grass snakes. We’re on the lookout for signs of reptile activity, like basking spots and hibernation sites, as these help us understand their habitat needs and movement patterns. ✅ Why protect and preserve? Preserving reptile habitats and relocating them where necessary are critical steps in minimising environmental impact. Reptiles are considered priority species, meaning their conservation is essential to biodiversity. By safeguarding their habitats, we also protect the broader ecosystem that supports other wildlife.

Did you know that these fauna play a major role in our fire ecology plan, turning fire fuel into food? We have 20 Watusi cows roaming the land. This holistic grazing management will enable forest succession and fire mitigation. 🐂🌾 Animal integration is crucial for ecological restoration because animals play key roles in maintaining healthy ecosystems.Their activities ensure the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems, supporting the recovery and sustainability of natural habitats.

The smaller cat species are elusive, hard to monitor and often go unnoticed as does their disappearance. Many are habitat specialists and as a particular habitat is degraded or vanishes, so do they. At the same time conservation of smaller cat species is poorly resourced, with larger cats receiving the lion's share of funding. https://lnkd.in/ehxxiH42

Otters are sometimes described as the “tigers of the mangrove” in Southeast Asia, where they’re well-known to display extraordinary resilience and adaptability to human activity and urbanization. A camera-trap study recently published in Global Ecology and Conservation now highlights the importance of expanses of natural habitat, such as coastal forests and wetlands, for two species of otter living along southern Thailand’s increasingly modified coasts, reports Carolyn Cowan. The research team found that while otters are able to live within human-modified landscapes, tracts of natural habitat offer them vital refugia from a slew of threats, such as road collisions, prey depletion due to pollution of watercourses, and conflict with fish and shrimp farmers. The authors used their findings to create maps that indicate where conservationists and wildlife departments should prioritize management and monitoring for these vital top wetland predators. https://lnkd.in/d6DD_5dk
