#BlackMangroves #Mangroves are essential to coastal ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife, protecting shorelines from erosion, and enhancing water quality. Their unique adaptations enable them to thrive in salty environments, making them vital for #biodiversity and climate resilience. Among the various types, black mangroves stand out for their remarkable ability to flourish in challenging conditions. 🌱 #Blueyatra - A #MangrovePlantation, conservation and restoration Initiative by Green Yatra #MangrovePlantationNGO #GreenYatra ##MangrovePlantationinMumbai via Mangrove Action Project (MAP)

Today is World Habitat Day and an important reminder of how important it is to protect the places we call home. At ARGA, we’ve partnered with Reforest to help restore vital habitats. Today, I’m proud of our efforts and looking forward to continuing this journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. This photo was taken in Cooroy during our recent tree-planting day. The Cooroy Mountain Wildlife Corridor project is focused on returning former grazing land in the Sunshine Coast hinterland to its natural subtropical rainforest state. The planting area follows a tributary that feeds into Upper Six-Mile Creek, which ultimately impacts the water quality of the Great Sandy Strait and the Southern Great Barrier Reef lagoon.🌱 #WorldHabitatDay #Sustainability #Reforest #AirportRetailGroupAustralia

🌿 4 Simple Steps to Restore Nature 🌍 1️⃣ Forest Conservation: Protect and restore our forests—they're the lungs of the Earth. 2️⃣ Wetland Restoration: Revive wetlands to support wildlife and purify our water. 3️⃣ Marine Conservation: Safeguard our oceans to preserve marine life and coastal communities. 4️⃣ Get Involved: Participate in local initiatives and make your voice heard for nature. Together, these steps can help restore our planet and secure a healthier future for all. #RestoreNature #Conservation #ActNow 💚🌱

Protecting the Endangered Cape Cormorant Meet the Cape Cormorant, a striking, all-black bird with a sleek frame, long neck, orange throat patch, and piercing blue eyes. This majestic seabird, found along South Africa’s coastline, is sadly listed as endangered due to habitat loss, reduced fish stocks, and human interference. At Greater Kromme Stewardship, we’re committed to preserving the delicate ecosystems these birds depend on. By safeguarding our coastal habitats, we ensure the survival of incredible species like the Cape Cormorant for generations to come. Let’s work together to protect our wildlife treasures. Every action, no matter how small, makes a difference! 💙 https://lnkd.in/d4k9KxKa #CapeStFrancis #NatureConservation #EnvironmentalConservation #SustainableLiving #ProtectOurPlanet #LocalBiodiversity #CommunityEngagement #environment #Biodiversity #GreaterKrommeStewardship #CapeCormorant #EndangeredSpecies #ProtectOurCoastline #ConservationMatters

🌳 It's International Day for the conservation of mangrove ecosystems! 🌳 Let's make this day all about conserving our mangrove ecosystems. Don't know what mangrove ecosystems are? They are ecosystems and natural communities protected by mangroves. Mangroves are trees that grow at the border between land and sea. They are important refuge areas for a wide variety of wildlife and help protect coastal communities against storm surges and rising sea levels. Let’s use this day to spread awareness and help protect the valuable mangrove ecosystems within our earth. Check out this article and website by our friends at UNESCO to learn more about mangroves and the act of protecting them and their ecosystems! https://lnkd.in/e5nw-R6E #Mangroves #Ecosystems #Conservation #awareness #Wildlife #NotaryToday

Community engagement plays a critical role in the restoration of coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass, and coral reefs. Local communities possess invaluable traditional knowledge and a deep connection to their environment, making them key stakeholders in conservation efforts. By involving these communities in restoration activities, such as planting mangroves, monitoring seagrass health, and protecting coral reefs, projects benefit from local expertise, ensuring more sustainable and culturally appropriate practices. Furthermore, community-driven initiatives foster a sense of ownership and responsibility, leading to enhanced protection and long-term stewardship of these vital ecosystems. Effective community engagement also empowers locals economically, providing alternative livelihoods that further reduce pressure on these fragile environments. #coastalcommunities #marineecosystems #restoration #Mangroves #Seagrass #coralreefs Photo Courtesy: One Tree Planted

Delighted that this series of videos about how we've developed a natural capital baseline across Grosvenor's Rural Estates, developing our most detailed study yet of the soils, habitats, and ecosystems to improve our understanding of the natural environment and the benefits they provide, has been published. In this first video, The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust ecologist Ellie explains the work that she and colleagues have carried out at the Eaton Estate in Cheshire.   #CarbonCapture #NaturalCapitalBaseline #RuralEstates #Sustainability #Biodiversity #Grasslands #Converation

Today is World Environment Day, and this year’s theme is land restoration – our specialty!   Restoration involves the recovery of species, ecosystems or landscapes that have been damaged or degraded. This process aims to re-establish habitat to allow wildlife communities to thrive once again – to put back what we’ve lost.   At Greening Australia, we’ve been restoring landscapes for over 40 years and have rebuilt thousands of hectares of habitat to date. Our planting projects provide a multitude of benefits, including food and shelter for Australia’s unique wildlife, tackling salinity on farmland, preventing millions of tonnes of eroded soil from reaching waterways, cooling temperatures in urban areas, and much more.   We can’t turn back time but we can restore forests, revive waterways and bring back soils.

🌾🌿🐦 We’re excited to share our Cape Fear Dairyland Conservation Mitigation project that covers nearly 30 acres in the heart of Orange County, NC. Nestled among active agricultural fields, this easement serves as a vital oasis for wildlife, featuring rich native wetland and riparian stream systems that promote ecological diversity. In partnership with Resource Environmental Solutions LLC, we are committed to enhancing these critical habitats through effective stream restoration practices. Discover how our efforts are making a positive impact on the local ecosystem! 👉 https://lnkd.in/duquZshk #Conservation #StreamRestoration #EcosystemProtection #WildlifeHabitat #CapeFear #Sustainability

Measuring nature is the first step to restoring it. Hear from ecologist Ellie Raynor on how we’re building climate resilience and promoting nature recovery across our rural estates. This year, we’ve completed our most detailed study yet of the soils, habitats, and ecosystems across our rural estates to establish a natural capital baseline. As part of this, we've worked with The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust at our Eaton Estate in Cheshire to survey woodlands, grasslands, ponds, wetlands and more. By improving our understanding of our natural assets and the benefits they provide, we can make more informed decisions that promote landscape scale nature recovery and climate resilience.
