Paul Kane’s Post

A lot of people, organizations and governments are doing incredible restoration work across Canada, including at WWF-Canada. But we need more if we're going to hit our ambitious 30% restoration target in the Global Biodiversity Framework: -more commitments -more tracking -more types of restoration in more ecosystems -more stewardship -and above all, more partnership and collaboration. Today at COP-16 we announced the launch of something we're calling Mission Restoration, an invitation to large land and rights holders to be a part of a collective action to reach Canada’s restoration commitments, so we can work *together* to realize benefits for wildlife, nature and people. If you are interesting in joining partners in conservation like Secwepemcúl’ecw Restoration and Stewardship Society, Katzie First Nation:, ALUS, the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA), Conservation Ontario and Environment and Climate Change Canada we would love to have you be a part of Mission Restoration, and of this incredible opportunity to restore the lands and waters we depend on.

A collaborative agenda for advancing conservation beyond protected areas through 'other effective area-based conservation measures' (OECMs) was recently developed by 80 colleagues from across the Latin America and Caribbean region. Conservation is changing, and the OECM framework is helping to evolve WHO the main actors are and HOW they are conserving nature, addressing climate change, and generating sustainable livelihoods. Here is Lucía Ruiz Bustos (Director, Conservation Areas at WWF) speaking to just that: “If we want to achieve the target of conserving 30% of the planet by the end of this decade, we need to work in partnerships, we need to work collaboratively, and we need to ensure that the agendas are inclusive, effective, and equitable. OECMs offer a big opportunity to change the conservation paradigm to advance this ambitious target.” Please watch the excellent video below which highlights the diversity of voices represented at the workshop, and you can read more about the collaborative agenda here: https://lnkd.in/er_dzgs6 The event and both outputs were ably supported by Emelin Gasparrini and Yaneris Soto Muniz (Comms, Earth for Life, WWF)

30,000,000 trees by 2035 💚💚 Baro'u, Saivou, Ra #reforestation #climatechange #nature #trees #sustainability #climateaction #climatecrisis

In a groundbreaking achievement for Fijian-led conservation, the Barotu community has been awarded an incredible US$500,000 contract under Fiji’s Jobs for Nature Program. 🎉 Their mission? To supply 400,000 seedlings for Fiji’s bold goal of planting 30 million trees. 🌳 But this is about more than just trees — it’s about building climate resilience, protecting freshwater sources, and creating sustainable livelihoods for local people. These seedlings will combat soil erosion, prevent floods, and safeguard biodiversity, supporting a greener future for all Fijians. 🇫🇯 💡 Did you know: Restoring native forests strengthens food security and shields Fiji’s landscapes from the impacts of climate change.

This work inspires me because it demonstrates the power of combining traditional knowledge with modern innovation to address environmental challenges. It shows that with creativity and determination, communities can restore ecosystems, preserve their heritage, and build sustainable futures even in the harshest conditions.

Conservation is something that resonates deeply with me, and it’s not just because I care about plants and animals—though I definitely do. It’s about so much more than that. Conservation is about preserving the delicate balance of our planet, ensuring that future generations can experience the same wonders of nature that we enjoy today. It’s about recognizing our role as stewards of the Earth, and understanding that our actions have far-reaching consequences. One of the things I love most about conservation is the sense of hope it brings. In a world where we’re constantly reminded of environmental challenges—deforestation, species extinction, climate change—conservation offers a way forward. It’s a reminder that we can make a difference, that our collective efforts can lead to real, positive change. Whether it’s protecting an endangered species, restoring a damaged ecosystem, or simply reducing our own carbon footprint, every action counts.

In a recent article by Forbes, Kenya’s verdant Chyulu Hills, the government, local and indigenous organizations, and Conservation International established a carbon project that is “rewriting the narrative for communities and nature alike, providing that sustainability, conservation, and livelihoods can go hand in hand.” “It’s a model for what’s next, not just for the climate, but for local people-by local people” Bruno Vander Velde Conservation International To read the full article, click on the link https://lnkd.in/dcEBmGuf #climatechange #chyuluhills #communutyledconsevation#holisticapproach #carboncredits #climatecrisis #forestprotection #conservation #reforestation #cloudforest #naturebasedsolutions #naturebasedlearning #landrestoration#carbonneutral #livelihoods #sustainability #communityconservation #climateaction #communityledconservation

Environmental conservation is crucial for the well-being of the community as it ensures the sustainability of natural resources for future generations. By protecting ecosystems, we maintain clean air, water, and fertile soils, which are essential for health, agriculture, and local economies. Conservation also helps mitigate the impacts of climate change, reducing risks such as floods and droughts. Additionally, preserving biodiversity ensures that communities benefit from a rich variety of plants and animals that support ecological balance. Engaging in conservation efforts fosters a sense of responsibility and unity in protecting our shared environment for a better quality of life. #ClimateWavers #SafeandHealthyEnvironment

Today, on World Nature Conservation Day 2024, we recognize the importance of preserving our natural environment. Our planet’s health is vital to our own well-being, making conservation essential. Why Conservation Matters: Biodiversity: Protects ecosystems and species. Climate Stability: Regulates carbon and oxygen levels. Sustainable Resources: Ensures future availability of resources. Human Health: Provides clean air, water, and soil. How You Can Contribute: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Minimize waste. Support Conservation: Donate or volunteer. Educate and Advocate: Raise awareness and support policies. Protect Wildlife: Support habitat preservation. At Dani Data Systems, we believe in collective action for a sustainable future. Let’s make small changes for big impacts. Together, we can protect our planet. Join us in celebrating and safeguarding our environment today and every day!

Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide numerous benefits, including supporting biodiversity, filtering water, preventing floods, and serving as habitats for diverse plant and animal species. They deliver essential ecosystem services, such as water filtration, flood control, and carbon sequestration, while also playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and providing natural buffers against extreme weather events. There is a concerning lack of consideration for biodiversity, reflecting a mindset that undervalues its importance.
