Did you know that wildlife crossings in Banff National Park have reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by up to 80%? 🛣 🦌 Let's bring these life-saving measures to the Frontenac Arch, where countless species—many of which are at-risk—face dangerous roads daily. Our Right to Roam report outlines the crucial mitigation measures needed to reduce these collisions on three major roads between Gananoque and Brockville: Highway 401, Thousand Islands Parkway, and Leeds County Road 2. Most critically, the report calls for 3 wildlife overpasses on Highway 401, where the need is most urgent. These overpasses will: - Reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions - Improve landscape connectivity - Help facilitate genetic movement between populations - Increase driver safety - Provide safe passageways for wildlife Please sign our Action Alert urging the Ontario Government to support these vital crossings in the Frontenac Arch region. 🚨 Take Action TODAY ➡ https://lnkd.in/dvxuv9gK

Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous beneficial services for people, fish, and wildlife. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters, and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands. Here are 7 benefits of restoring wetlands #imagovtt #wetlands #trinidadandtobago

GOMT supported efforts by Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies and partners to secure funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to develop preliminary designs for nature-based infrastructure to mitigate flooding and enhance community resilience in the Baffin Bay Watershed. https://lnkd.in/ex-sshfy

How do we #protect the #land? It's a question we hear a lot, so we added the answer to our FAQ page. We protect wildlife habitats by: ⛔ Preserving critical areas like watersheds; 🌲 Implementing buffer zones that won't be developed or disturbed; and, ✅ Following Idaho Fish and Game guidelines for land #stewardship. Our approach includes habitat restoration and creating wildlife corridors 🦨 to ensure connectivity, working closely with local biologists to adapt plans as needed to safeguard native species. Here's a link to our FAQ page if you'd like to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_ndhHBq

Wildlife crossings, like the Cervidae Peak Wildlife Overpass, are already making a difference in Idaho. They improve highway safety and protect deer and elk populations. Our vision for alternate routes includes these proven practices—because a safer Idaho means safer wildlife, too.

🚤 Boating and water activities during the summer are pure bliss, but they also require extra awareness and security. Water adds complexity to accidents, making rescues harder. We're proud that Carbyne technology played a key role in this Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rescue. 🌊🦅 Check out our video to see how our accurate geolocation technology helped rescue a pilot who crashed in the Florida Keys. Stay safe, and contact emergency responders immediately if you need help. Are you a PSAP, who haven't seen our tech in action?

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has released its latest Wetlands Status and Trends Report. The new report finds that, nationwide, wetland loss increased substantially between 2009 and 2019. Here in Massachusetts, our wetland losses are noted as low, thanks to our strong local and state laws and regulations. Wetlands, especially salt marshes, are also subject to climate change pressures. There's a lot to consider when replicating or creating wetlands; check out some of our work here https://buff.ly/40xH7sb.

Seagrasses: The salad for our wonderful Florida manatees. Did you know that another Sirenian species, the Dugongs, exhibit different seagrass foraging behaviors which can provide the dugong with more or less nutrients? You would think that Dugongs would perform the foraging behavior that provides more nutrients to the dugong as opposed to less nutrients. However, this is not always the case. When a dugong rips out the whole seagrass bed along with the rhizome, a plume of substrate is also brought along with it. This plume can cloud a dugong's vision and hinder the ability to detect predators. So it's really a cost and benefit tug-o-war.
