Flowers for Elephants by Peter Martell: This is an uplifting and empathic book about communities, conservation, and what can be achieved when both people and wildlife are prioritised equally. This comes at such an important time when more and more researchers and practitioners are asking questions about repairing our relationship with nature, Martell offers beautifully narrated insight into Lewa's success as a place of co-existence.

Did you know that a remarkable ❤️ two thirds ❤️ of ALL British species can be found in #Yorkshire? Somewhere between 40,000 - 45,000 different plants, birds, animals and other organisms. Nature recovery here in Yorkshire is therefore a crucial contribution to UK biodiversity as a whole. 🦋 🐌 🕷 💮 This is just one headline from State of Yorkshire's Nature report, released today. Led by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and with vital contributions and data from British Trust for Ornithology, the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland, Butterfly Conservation, the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union and the thousands of individual members who record and report wildlife. For the first time, we have an accurate insight into how the whole of Yorkshire’s nature is faring – and, crucially where and what action is most needed to create healthier, resilient and more abundant landscapes. Like everywhere in the UK, Yorkshire has suffered significant losses over many years to the richness and diversity of our natural environment. We know how to turn that around, for everyone's benefit. In the upcoming general election, the Trust is asking all candidates to share their commitment to restoring nature's recovery - using the report as a guideline to make Yorkshire a national leader for conservation - and encouraging the public to share their hopes and aspirations for Yorkshire’s wildlife with their candidates and councillors. #YorkshireNatureReport https://lnkd.in/eXQNmBAV

Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. 🐦🏡 https://lnkd.in/gGgqAvVM

A most practical guide for everyone with a garden…
From bird baths to rocks, here are seven things people put in their gardens to help wildlife, and how well they work. What animals are using your backyard? And what backyard features entice wildlife to visit? These are the questions a group of researchers from The University of Western Australia, Perth NRM and 243 citizen scientists from 30 towns and cities in southwestern Australia set out to answer. We chatted with lead researcher, Dr Bronte Van Helden, about what they found. Check out our top six takeaways in this summary of the findings, plus helpful tips for how you can set up easy features in your gardens to help wildlife. Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, NACC NRM, Bruce Webber, Paul Close, Nicki Mitchell, Leonie Valentine, Holly Kirk, Sarah Bekessy, Wildlife Queensland, Rochelle Steven, Australian Citizen Science Association take a look and please share.

Wonderful WCS and Guatemala! Contrast that with the Honduran Rio Plátano Biosphere Reserve, where it has been estimated by @INCEBIO that a Jaguar needs c. 30 Km2 to survive there. However, in its infinite wisdom, the government has given permission for roads to cut through the Rio Plátano Biosphere Reserve and of course the cattle grazing areas will spike , as will GHG emissions, erosion and sedimentation in estuarine areas like Brus Lagoon.
Encouraging to see young jaguars in Guatemala’s Mirador-Rio Azul National Park, an important habitat for the species. With partners, we have 50+ camera traps there to inform conservation efforts. #BiodiverseLandscapesFund

The sea otters! What a cute species 🤗 Here is a good summary of a reintroduction process (the factors involved in it). An interesting point here that few studies mention is the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects. Great work and example! #animalreintroduction #marinelife #seaotter #wildlife
Reintroduction is a conservation tool that can return a species to its historical habitat, restoring meaningful ecological connections. A 2022 USFWS assessment concluded that sea otter reintroduction to their historical range would benefit marine ecosystems and play a crucial role in helping the population recover. Two methods exist for sourcing individual animals for a potential sea otter reintroduction: 1) translocating wild-caught, free-ranging sea otters to one or more new sites; 2) transporting surrogate-reared or rehabilitated sea otters from a facility like a zoo or aquarium to one or more new sites. Both methods come with various risks and advantages. How would a potential reintroduction then proceed? Considerable work is needed to identify the scientific, logistical, and socioeconomic aspects of a potential sea otter reintroduction and to initiate positive engagement with stakeholders and communities who might be affected.

Embracing my downtime is to explore the nature around me! Delving into birdwatching, amazed about the fascinating facts, the conservation efforts of preserving our nature, wildlife, and birds. Using this time to expand my horizons and knowledge. Thanks #CornellBirdAcademy#Embracingmypassions#lovebirds#Orinthologist
