Tigers play a crucial role in our ecosystems, but they need #SustainableFinancing to thrive. On #GlobalTigerDay, learn from the World Wildlife Fund how long-term funding can help ensure tiger habitats are protected, climate-resilient & beneficial to local communities: https://lnkd.in/d6BnYJBs

💧Happy World Wetlands Day! 💧 Did you know that freshwater habitats, like lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands, house more than 10% of all known animal species and about 50% of all known fish species, despite covering less than 1% of the earth's surface? As much as 87% of the world's wetlands has been lost over the past 300 years, with much of this loss happening after 1900, despite their value to the human population. Head over to the blog to find out more about this incredible habitat, with 10 fascinating facts! (Source: stats from World Wildlife Fund) https://lnkd.in/eSaWxHqT

🎥 Witness the return of an iconic species in Sweden's rivers! 🌊🐟 For the first time, the critically endangered Atlantic sturgeon has been reintroduced in Sweden. The release in the #GötaRiver marked a crucial step in bringing back this iconic species after a century of absence. Supported by our European Wildlife Comeback Fund, the "Return of the Sturgeon" initiative released 100 juvenile sturgeon, taking the first step toward restoring healthy, self-sustaining populations in their native habitats. This reintroduction is a collaboration between Swedish and German partners, working together to boost biodiversity and strengthen the resilience of freshwater ecosystems.💧💪 #AtlanticSturgeon are vital to river ecosystems. By disturbing riverbeds, they enhance oxygen levels and create spawning areas for other fish. They also help manage invasive species, supporting the overall health of the aquatic food web. Watch the video to follow their journey and learn why these efforts are so important 👉  https://lnkd.in/eNkQUUPN 🎥 Jon A.

📣News from Mexico! 🦋📉 The presence of the eastern monarch butterfly population in Mexico’s oyamel fir forests this past winter was 59.3% less than the previous year, according to the most recent survey released by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Mexico. Monarch butterflies occupied 0.9 hectares, 1.31 less than the 2.21 hectares in the 2022-2023 overwintering season. This is the first time since the 2013-2014 overwintering season that the eastern monarch population has occupied less than one hectare. Read our most recent blog to learn more about this announcement and what efforts we can all take to support the monarch migration https://lnkd.in/g8z8MC7q #MonarchNews #MonarchButterfly #Monarchs #MonarchsMexico #MariposaMonarca #EasternMonarchs #PollinatorConservation #PollinatorHabitat #PlantNative #PlantDiverse #PlantMilkweed Photo Credit: Court Whelan, Ph.D.

"Wildlife Works is different from other organizations. What we do is community-based and community-oriented. Before undertaking any projects, we have to do public participation. This is very different from other people who just begin projects without asking what the community really requires." -Seraphine Charo, Carbon Committee Representative at the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project. Wildlife Works was founded in 1997 to change the model of conservation from a colonial-era fortress model where people are seen as apart from nature, to a community-centered model where people are leading solutions as a part of nature.

Wade Crowfoot just curious when these structures are installed has thought gone into soil media to support vegetation growing on the installation? I ask because soil media can be amended with forest derived biochar. This would help to keep vegetation green longer, with less clay (weight) on the structure. Then there is the fact that using forest derived biochar can also reduce risk of ignition and spread of fire in the same habitat.

Way to go Caltrans there are huge possibilities using the existing culverts that are present already with lower cost and significant uptake for wildlife to use these structures.#wildlifeconnectivity #roadecology #reducingroadkill

Celebrating the essence of the season while championing a cause dear to us 🌲🦊✨ As steadfast advocates of the World Wildlife Fund, Humanscale remains dedicated to safeguarding the marvels of our planet. In the current year, our focus is on spotlighting the elusive Sierra Nevada Red Fox in its natural habitat—an emblem of resilience. Here are three interesting facts about these resilient creatures: Primarily nocturnal, Sierra Nevada red foxes choose dens in rocky or earthen formations within mature forests for winter shelter. They are well-suited to cold climates, boasting thick, deep winter coats and furry toe pads that facilitate movement over snow-covered terrain. These foxes exhibit omnivorous behavior, consuming a diverse diet that includes small mammals, fruit, birds, insects, and carrion.

Today is International Earth Day, a reminder of the importance of #sustainability and our #responsibility to protect and preserve our planet’s ecosystems. 🌏 At MGL Europe we believe in taking action and raising awareness.  One of our initiatives is to support wildlife conservation efforts. 🐾 For this reason, we chose to feature the garden dormouse (animal of the year 2023 in Germany) on our calendar for 2024, serving as a daily reminder of the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. At the same time we also made a donation to the German Wildlife Foundation, which is independent foundation, committed to the protection of native wild animals and their habitats. They don’t only focus on large and impressive animal species, but also on small, inconspicuous ones, which are often of particular importance for the ecosystem. It is small things that make a big impact. ✨ #earthday #environment #wildlife #germany #nature #awareness

From @leather_naturally Some people sometimes question our claims when we, as an industry, mention that hides are a by-product of the meat industry.
