At Moonjelly Foundation, we're pioneering a new era of conservation finance, inspired by the principles of trust and community. Our approach, reminiscent of the slow-food movement, focuses on building deep, personal relationships and reducing administrative burdens to empower grantees to focus on their crucial work. We're creating a Conservation Impact Network, connecting conservation organizations and community groups through trust-based relationships. This network is strengthened by our Pay It Forward Scaling, where partners support new members, enhancing our collective impact on conservation. Our efforts are already making waves in regions like the Cook Islands and Latin America, where traditional knowledge and conservation practices are being revitalized. We aim to grow an indigenously-led Conservation Impact Network, proving that trust and collaboration can lead to significant environmental progress. We invite you to be part of this transformative movement. Together, we can scale trust-based conservation to new heights. #ConservationFinance #Moonjelly #SustainableFuture #PayItForward

I'm still buzzing about The Nature Conservancy in Texas achieving its 1 Million Acres protected milestone! Check out this excellent StoryMap, created by Lauren Lombardo and our team, to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghs5kddr 1 million acres is big but how big?

Yesterday was International Wetlands Day and to celebrate this in Monaghan County Council (Ireland) we ran a public photo competition and a selection of some of the great photos of the ponds, lakes, fens, bogs, rivers and streams from across Co. Monaghan are shown in the images below. There are almost 180 recorded and surveyed wetlands sites in Co. Monaghan and wetlands are key to support biodiversity and the proper management of rainwater, particularly during times of flood, and as a source for the safe and adequate supply of drinking water for the people of the county. Critically, our wetlands, especially our bogs and fens, are crucial in the reduction of carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. Wetlands are an integral part of the Monaghan landscape and support social and economic activity, attract people to visit the county and have an important cultural significance, featuring in paintings and writing about Monaghan. Monaghan County Council (Ireland) was the first county in Ireland to prepare a county-wide Wetlands Action Plan in 2020 and has also established and supported a County Monaghan Wetland Community Network, acknowledging that the long-term conservation of the county’s wetlands is dependent on community involvement and stakeholder engagement. It is imperative that we, as the current custodians of the county, take all necessary steps to protect and enhance our precious and precarious wetland ecosystem and ensure that the county’s wetlands are managed and protected so they can be passed on in a healthy condition to future generations. #InternationalWetlandsDay #ClimateActionMonaghan #MyMonaghan

On February 8, 2023, Assemblymember Gail Pellerin of the 28th Assembly District introduced Assembly Bill 2103 (formerly 566), which will allow California State Parks to more effectively work with conservation organizations to protect priority lands and grow Big Basin, Butano, and Año Nuevo State Parks —a region with incredible biodiversity and natural resources recently devastated by the 2020 CZU Fire. 🌲 🌲 🌲 On May 16, 2024, Assembly Bill 2103 passed the California State Assembly appropriations committee. This is another step closer to rebuilding parks like Big Basin Redwoods State Park and protecting our recovering habitats, but AB 2103 needs to keep moving through the Assembly to become a reality. ▶️ ▶️ ▶️ Will you urge state leadership to support AB 2103 to rebuild State Parks?: https://bit.ly/3V89Xyc

New Funding to support ecosystem restoration in the U.S.! Up to $119 Million in community grants: https://lnkd.in/gGNgr2ZU The Biden-Harris administration today announced the release of the 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) for the America the Beautiful Challenge, as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. The program, which was launched in 2022 with support from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is dedicated to funding landscape-scale conservation and restoration projects that implement existing conservation plans across the nation. In 2024, the program expects to award up to $119 million in grants to communities nationwide. The America the Beautiful Challenge advances President Biden’s America the Beautiful initiative, which set the nation’s first-ever goal to conserve and restore 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030. The 10-year, locally led and nationally scaled initiative lifts up efforts to protect, conserve, connect and restore the lands, waters and wildlife upon which we all depend. #ecosystem #ecosystemrestoration #2030vision #biodiversity
