There’s nothing quite like spotting an elusive Blanding’s Turtle in the wilderness when out and about in the Kawarthas. This beautiful turtle is easily recognizable by its brilliant yellow neck and dome-like shell. Two of the main threats to Blanding’s Turtles, which are listed as a Threatened species in Ontario, are habitat fragmentation and car strikes. Kawartha Land Trust is working with supporters like you to conserve more natural lands and protect vital wildlife corridors. For species like the Blanding’s Turtle, whose existence hinges on the ability to traverse considerable distances for nesting and finding overwintering sites, these corridors are necessary to their continued survival. How can you help Blanding’s Turtles and other turtles in the Kawarthas? 🌱You can help conserve nature in the Kawarthas by donating to Kawartha Land Trust to protect more natural lands in the Kawarthas and create wildlife corridors on a fragmented landscape. https://lnkd.in/emnPktxc 🐢If you see a turtle that’s been injured, you can learn how to help the turtle by reading this article by the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre: https://lnkd.in/ex9sj7Xt 🗺️You can contribute to citizen science by reporting turtle sightings on iNaturalist. You can learn how to use the app by watching KLT’s webinar about the app led by Warren Dunlop: https://lnkd.in/eKr5UgMP 📸Isabelle Summers

Did you know that small waterbodies like ponds play a crucial role in supporting freshwater wildlife? 🌊🌱 These little gems are often teeming with special plants and animals, making them biodiversity hotspots. 🦋🌼 📝 Get Involved: You can help! Conduct a Priority Pond Assessment Survey (PASS) to identify potential priority ponds. 📊 Your observations about the pond’s physical characteristics (like surrounding land use) will contribute to this map. 🗺️🔍

RIPPLE EFFECTS OF HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. Everyday elephants are lost to conflict, but it's the conservation orgs, the rangers, the scouts and wildlife orphanages that step up to make a difference!

Today is World Wetlands day, a time to celebrate our vast NC wetland types and the wildlife species that rely upon them.🌅 From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the sandhills to the coastal plain, North Carolina boasts a variety of ecosystems, and positioned throughout these regions are some of the state’s most biologically diverse habitat types: wetlands. Many people do not realize the importance of wetlands to our state’s plants, fish and wildlife, and humans. In addition to providing food, water, cover, and areas for reproduction for a vast majority of species, more than 70 percent of North Carolina’s species listed as endangered, threatened, or of special concern depend on wetlands for survival (North Carolina Wetlands). Like many of the natural spaces within North Carolina and beyond, wetlands are in danger of being detrimentally impacted or even destroyed by habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation. NCWF is committed to being a voice for these habitats and the fish and wildlife they support. To find out more about our NC wetlands, check out our blog "World Wetlands Day : Everything You Need to Know About NC Wetlands" here: https://lnkd.in/eVBPXUN3

An abundance of wildlife is key to #biodiversity — and when species decline, widespread action is necessary to protect them.

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. AN OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.

Today, between 8:30pm -9:30pm EST, we observe Earth Hour- a global initiative organized by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) which encourages individuals and businesses to switch off non-essential electric lights for one hour. #earthhour #climatechange

US Fish & Wildlife finds that in the last 10 years, North America has lost more than 50 million acres of grasslands. At a total loss of 80%. The World Wildlife Fund reports that 2.6 million acres of grassland habitat was lost in the North American Great Plains in 2019 alone. Ranching protects these landscapes from being sold to developers, rock quarries, or tilled for cropland. The last stand against the Anthropocene. Our grazing lands are the Great Barrier Reef of North America. #AmazingGrazingLands

Suffolk residents, have your say in the county's Local Nature Recovery Strategy📢 Since monitoring began in Suffolk in 1970, the wildlife studied has declined by 19% (on average) ⚠️ Don't worry, there is still time to help.
