Aquatic habitats Restoring of water body to a more favourable state is already challenging, restoring them to their original state is even more challenging. Here are some plants that can make the Aquatick habitat restoration favourable. #aquatichabitatrestoration #restoration #ecosystem #community #waterbody

Today, 5th June marks another #WorldEnvironmentDay. 🍃 🌍 The theme this year: Land restoration, desertification and drought resilience. #MillenniumForest is a great example of #landrestoration, from a barren eroded wasteland to a thriving forest. The aim is to restore the once ‘Great Wood’- a forest of endemic gumwoods (Commidendrum robustum). 💮🌳 Restoration work first started in the 1980s and the official launch was in 2000. Many funded projects and staff have contributed to the forests advance. Today the forest covers over 25 hectares, provides habitat for other endemic species (Wirebird, gumwood leafhopper and Loveridge’s hoverfly) as well as creating a community space. 🍀🍃🌳 Support the Millennium Forest! #sthelenaisland #conservation #communityforest

Picture a single droplet of water, following its care-free journey from streams to mighty trees, leading to the majestic landscapes that make us appreciate the beauty of nature. That's a watershed: the area where all water drains into a common water body, connecting us all in one way or another. That's why at HeartLands Conservancy, we are dedicated to managing our projects by watershed to protect not only our natural habitats from harm but also our communities. If you are interested in learning more about Metro East Watersheds, you can learn more on our watersheds page: https://lnkd.in/gSKcmntK #UnifiedByNature

✨ How would a Dolores Canyons National Monument help local communities address rising visitation to the Western Slope's public lands? 🏜️ Moab's John Weisheit offers his perspective from a community overrun by tourism: "To protect local values, customs and culture, communities will need to plan for the future of their surrounding public lands — and a national monument would provide an opportunity to do just that. The process would provide a path to permanently protect lands already managed for wildland values, plan for infrastructure upgrades to handle increased traffic, waste and strategically direct visitor flow to ensure a positive experience for everyone; all while protecting sensitive ecosystems and the rural character of the communities. Taken together this is not an easy task, but a wholly American enterprise." Read more in this op-ed: https://ow.ly/lwRu50Sx6y8 #ProtectTheDolores

Wetlands create cool, green spaces in our community, and habitats for native wildlife. Through the Drainage for Liveability Program we're working with local governments to turn stormwater drains into living streams. 💧 🌿 A number of these projects include the restoration or protection of existing wetlands in Perth. But it also supports the build of new wetlands out of existing stormwater basins, like this one in Cannington. Projects like the Wharf Street Smart Park create healthy ecosystems, biodiversity habitat, increased vegetation, and reduction of urban heat. All while improving local community access to green spaces, benefiting the community and environment. 🌱 Learn more >> https://bit.ly/3SGFZQL #WorldWetlandsDay #WetlandsAndHumanWellbeing

Did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of watercourse crossings in Alberta? And did you know that many of them have the potential to negatively influence the ability of Alberta’s fish species to migrate between important habitats? Alberta hosts over 60 fish species, including Arctic grayling, Athabasca rainbow trout, bull trout, and Westslope cutthroat trout, which depend on pristine, cold, and interconnected water systems. Sadly, these species are now in decline due to fragmented habitats and worsening water quality. Historical road construction didn't fully consider environmental impacts, leaving a vast network of crossings across various industries and regulatory zones, making fish habitat restoration a significant challenge today.

We 💙 wetlands! May is #AmericanWetlandsMonth, an opportunity to raise awareness about the ecological, social, and economic importance of wetlands especially those here in Massachusetts. Currently, Massachusetts has over 48,000 diverse acres of wetlands from the tidal wetlands found on our coasts to inland bogs, vernal pools, and more. Unfortunately, many have been filled, drained, ditched, polluted, and otherwise damaged. To undo the damage, DER works with many partners to carry out wetland restoration projects throughout the Commonwealth. Why do you love wetlands? 📸: Division of Ecological Restoration

A scheme to create a saltmarsh habitat more than 20 years ago is playing an important role today in protecting vital carbon stores. The "managed realignment" programme at Abbotts Hall, on the Blackwater Estuary near Colchester, saw old sea walls breached in five spots along a 3km (1.9 mile) stretch in 2002 to create nearly 50 hectares of saltmarsh and intertidal habitat. It’s estimated that every year the seabed and saltmarshes store around 13 million tonnes of carbon, it’s almost three times more than our terrestrial land forests. https://zurl.co/YmXY
