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

The port has a large footprint of concrete pilings so understanding what grows on them and how fish use them as habitat is important to studying impacts of coastal development and implementing more habitat friendly design in the future.

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

It’s estimated that more than 20,000 animals are killed every year on highways within the Algonquin to Adirondack corridor. On Highway 401 alone, summer traffic reaches over 30,000 vehicles daily— leaving animals, on average, only 5 seconds to cross safely. Roads like Highway 401 act like a ribbon of death— cutting through vital habitats, disrupting wildlife movement and leading to alarming rates of wildlife-vehicle collisions and mortality. Without action, populations of species like fishers, gray ratsnakes and snapping turtles are at serious risk as they attempt to navigate our human-dominated landscape. Sign our Action Alert today urging the Ontario Government to support wildlife crossings in on Highway 401 in the Frontenac Arch region. Together, we can help protect animals and restore connectivity. https://lnkd.in/drN7dUTY

Want to keep wildlife AND yourself safe? 🦌 Then don't feed wildlife, whether on purpose or accidentally. AZGFD has seen an increase in reports of human-wildlife conflicts in many parts of the state. The root cause of most human-wildlife conflicts is giving wildlife easy access to food, water and/or shelter. “People who love wildlife should understand that feeding wild animals or leaving food accessible to them is not a good practice and can put the animal and people in danger,” said Locana de Souza, AZGFD urban wildlife specialist. “When wildlife such as coyotes, javelina, bobcats, bears or mountain lions learn to associate humans with food, they lose their fear of people, and that can lead to conflict situations that end badly for both humans and wildlife.” Read more on how to prevent human-wildlife conflicts: https://bit.ly/424sOOq

Cheers to a brighter future for California's diverse wildlife 🎉: Last Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law the Room to Roam Act (A.B. 1889) that will set measures that will improve statewide wildlife connectivity in California. Many animals like mountain lions, desert tortoises and more are struggling because ill-conceived development has sliced up their habitat, leaving them unable to find food and shelter. Some suffer from harmful inbreeding due to habitat fragmentation. These challenges not only make it hard for wildlife to thrive, it also makes it hard for them to survive. This bill lays out clear guidelines for cities to address wildlife connectivity in their long-range plans.
