Bridging the Gap: How Banff is Saving Wildlife (and Drivers) with Highway Crossings The Banff Wildlife Crossing Project in Banff National Park is a remarkable initiative that addresses the challenge of wildlife crossing the Trans-Canada Highway safely. By implementing wildlife crossings such as overpasses and underpasses, animals like elk, deer, bears, and cougars can navigate the highway without risking collisions with vehicles, enhancing both wildlife protection and road safety. This innovative project has significantly reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by 80%, making it a standout success in human-wildlife conflict resolution. The success of this innovative conservation effort highlights the importance of infrastructure that harmonizes human activities with wildlife conservation. #wildlife #humananimalconflict #Conservation #Ecosystem #Banff

How rescue dogs play a vital role in wildlife conservation. Have you ever heard of a conservation canine? These dogs are used to track and locate wildlife, follow the trails of poachers and detect illegal wildlife products like ivory or pangolin scales. However, highly trained detection dogs are often expensive, which can be challenging for many protected areas. By selecting dogs from rescue shelters, expert handlers can help train and provide them with important roles in wildlife conservation. This approach also helps manage shelter overpopulation while giving these dogs new and rewarding opportunities. With the help of trained rescue dogs, organisations can enhance efficiency in wildlife monitoring, law enforcement against poaching, and community engagement in conservation initiatives. Find out more about how we’re training rescue dogs to become conservation canines in Zimbabwe: https://lnkd.in/d72wrQwM #conservationcanine #rescuedogs #wildlifeconservation #antipoaching #gvi #volunteerabroad 

Private conservancies play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation. Private conservancies are essential to our conservation strategy because they offer greater flexibility, innovation, and involvement of local communities in protecting wildlife. They often cover key wildlife corridors outside national parks, helping to protect more extensive ecosystems and reduce human-wildlife conflict This is why private conservancies are leading the charge in sustainable wildlife conservation. #SAWCT #ConservationLeadership #PrivateConservancies #Conservation

Nature News! There has been a resurgence of the bobcat population in Ohio. Did you know? Bobcats, once rare in our region, are making a remarkable comeback thanks to dedicated conservation efforts and the preservation of their natural habitats. -Bobcats are elusive creatures, known for their solitary nature and keen hunting skills. Despite their stealth, they have been captured on various wildlife cams throughout our region. -These beautiful animals play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling small mammal populations. Their presence indicates a healthy ecosystem right in our backyard! -According to recent studies by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, bobcat populations have been steadily increasing in Northeast Ohio over the past decade. This resurgence is a testament to the importance of conservation efforts and habitat preservation.

HSCF has granted over $4 million to support youth education, shooting sports and conservation efforts to help protect wildlife and habitat at home and abroad. These projects include research, sustainability, species promulgation, wildlife management, urban sprawl, anti-poaching, youth shooting sports and more. HSCF is a leading advocate for hunter-funded conservation initiatives, which currently make up 99% of the wilderness conservation programs in existence today. Without these programs in place, and the billions of dollars generated in the hunting industry annually, wildlife would quickly become endangered by an imbalance of nature, species overpopulation, habitat destruction, urban encroachment and other threats. #HSCF #YouthEducation #ConservationEfforts #WildlifeProtection #HabitatConservation #HunterFunded #WildlifeManagement
