The continued efforts of groups like The Nature Conservancy in restoring longleaf pine forests across the region have contributed significantly to the growth of red-cockaded woodpeckers, one of the best-known animals that thrive in longleaf forests. Throughout the Southeast, a coordinated effort is underway to conserve and restore these rich and vital forests that run through the heart of Mississippi. Spanning nine states in the U.S. southeast, we’re working together to restore and manage longleaf pine forest from Texas to Virginia. Longleaf pine once dominated the coastal plain blanketing more than 90 million acres. Today there are just 5.2 million acres, up from an historical low of 3.2 million acres two decades ago.

Grasslands can benefit habitats, water cleanliness, #carbonStorage, rural economies, and more. Experts such as Randy Jackson, a professor at UW–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and #grassland ecologist at Grassland 2.0, share the many benefits of grasslands especially for Wisconsin farmers. See "Good for Grasslands" by Molly Meister on page 20 to learn more!

Small, but mighty. 💪 These little fish are key players in the marine food web. 🐟🕸️ But there is more to their story... ⏳Their burrowing behaviors play an important role in sediment mixing, which is key to creating and maintaining sandy marine habitats. To understand the potential impacts of sand harvesting, we partnered with Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary to develop sustainable practices that safeguard these vital fish. 🛡️ Learn more: https://ow.ly/pi1950SyXcp

#NowReading: Check out this new resource from National Wildlife Federation on how capturing carbon emissions from industry can lead to potential air quality benefits! The resource includes information from GPI's study, Carbon Capture Co-benefits: Carbon Capture’s Role in Removing Pollutants and Reducing Health Impacts. From NWF's resource: "The study found that in addition to the climate benefit of cutting CO2 emissions, co-pollutant removal—a part of the engineering process for carbon capture—also improves air quality and public health." Read GPI's full report: https://lnkd.in/dZkuX9Z8 #CarbonManagement
Check out this great resource on a little-understood potential benefit of carbon capture -- improved air quality. Congrats and appreciation to Simone H. Stewart, Ph.D., Sarah Kallgren, and Jake Ferrell at National Wildlife Federation for putting this together! https://lnkd.in/eS5KzDeD

Humans ignore birds more than any other living animal. However we all seem to be fascinated by dinosaurs. Birds are the next great decent of dinosaurs. They actually are mini dinosaurs if you really inspect them&their genetic makeup. we want to play "jurassic park"& bring home fossils&wish we could have t-rex in our backyard. yet these birds (all birds) are just that...&we are killing them off one by one...millions by the millions. All over the globe. without birds (which are nature's music soundtrack...w/o them it would be the greatest silence in the wilderness and the city alike, that u could even imagine) this world will go to hell. The birds who disperse seeds, do us Humans a tremendous service. Not to mention the birds who eat so many insects. Like the barn swallow for example, who eats even BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS which obviously protects us Humans even more. So next time your outside, no matter where your at...look up &tell them thank you. Let them know your trying to save them. We can't afford to lose any more of these intelligent, fascinating creatures.
Often, conserving unique keystone species helps us conserve many others. One such case is the pinyon jay – a beautiful, dusky blue bird symbiotically tied to the piñon-juniper woodlands of the Southwest. Without these birds to disperse seeds, the ecosystem will suffer.
