Compared to the immense cost of building and maintaining roadways in Canada, the cost of wildlife infrastructure is relatively low. In fact, studies have shown that strategically placed wildlife infrastructure can save governments money in the long run.

Kroenke Ranches is taking bold new steps on Texas’s WAGGONER RANCH by adopting a holistic approach to the ecological management of the historic 560,000-acre ranch’s significant wildlife resources. The primary land-management techniques currently being employed by the Wildlife Division are targeted specifically at quail and white-tailed deer habitats. Since Stan Kroenke purchased the Waggoner Ranch in February 2016, brush management has been performed on more than 150,000 acres of the 875-square-mile landholding. This comprehensive management philosophy has served to promote populations of native grasses and forbs and to enhance habitat diversity on the largest single ranch under one fence in the Lone Star State Stan Kroenke's 1,700,000 acres take the Number 4 spot in The Land Report 100 presented by Peoples Company: https://lnkd.in/eDrmGzyu PHOTO CREDIT: © Kroenke Ranches - Peoples Company #LandReport100 #AmericasLargestLandowners #landowners #KroenkeRanches #WaggonerRanch #WildlifeManagement #EcologicalConservation #QuailHabitat #DeerHabitat #BrushManagement #HabitatDiversity #NativeGrasses

July is Wild About Wildlife Month. ORD Director Armijo weighs in on protecting wildlife, increasing public safety, and supporting the economy through conservation efforts. All of these topics intersect with wildlife crossings. "By investing in wildlife connectivity, we can build effective wildlife crossing solutions that enhance public safety, support our economy, and preserve our natural heritage. This is a win-win scenario for drivers, wildlife, and the outdoor recreation industry. Together, we can ensure that our roads are safe, our wildlife thrives, and our outdoor recreation industry continues to flourish."

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

In Alberta, wildlife sweeps are required year-round for applicable dispositions issued by the Regulator and are an approval condition. A wildlife sweep must be conducted prior to activity resulting in land or vegetation disturbance where there is risk of wildlife features being disturbed or destroyed. These features include nests, dens, hibernacula, roosts, lodges, dams, mineral licks, and more. The liability for a wildlife sweep rests with the Disposition Holder, Licensee or Permit Holder. If an important wildlife feature is disturbed or destroyed following an inadequate sweep, an investigation under the Wildlife Act or Public Lands Act may be pursued. 3 Peaks Environmental offers biophysical assessments and wildlife sweeps for a variety of projects and our services also include assisting with the required permitting for the proposed activity. >>> 3peaksenvironmental.ca #environmentalconsulting #wildlife #permitting #regulatorycompliance #hireus #hirethebest

Australia has approved the resumption of aerial shooting to cull wild horses, locally known as "brumbies," in Kosciuszko National Park. The decision is driven by the need to protect native wildlife and ecosystems, as the brumby population has increased by a third over the last two years, reaching around 19,000 horses. New South Wales authorities aim to reduce this population to 3,000 by mid-2027. Aerial shooting was briefly used in 2000 but faced public backlash. Opponents argue that brumbies are a cultural symbol, while conservationists stress their destructive impact on native flora and fauna, soil erosion, and water sources. Australia has up to 400,000 feral horses, with brumby populations growing rapidly in some regions.

Wildlife migration is like a global road trip but with fins, wings, or paws. Through this blog post, let’s understand why we need to cheer for these migrating heroes and do our part to protect their incredible journeys. https://lnkd.in/ggasWG2j #climatechange #impact #wildlife #wildlifemigration #letsUPDEED

"Net wetland loss increased substantially (>50%) since the last...study period (2004-2009), resulting in the loss of 221,000 acres [89k ha] of wetlands, primary to uplands, between 2009 and 2019." 😳 For an ecosystem that delivers so many benefits to people--cleaning our waters, habitat for species we depend on, high levels of carbon sequestration, beautiful landscapes like the one in the Canaan Valley of WV on the cover of the report--this is such incredibly sad news. Not just sad for the wetlands, but for us. The new U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and U.S. Department of the Interior "Status and Trends of Wetlands in the Conterminous United States 2009 to 2019: Report to Congress" has more numbers and facts, and some recommendations on how we might reverse course. We need to figure this out!

Do you have a wildlife problem that just won’t go away? This is one you don’t want to miss. PANTHERA 's Rob Pickles and LEAD Conservation ’s Andrew Lemieux, together with #SARA, will show you the pathways of becoming a truly problem-solving organisation, capable of analysing and effectively responding to persistent wildlife protection problems. Don’t just take our word for it; this is some of the feedback we received from a multi-organisation wildlife protection team who attended our most recent Problem Profiling Skills Course in Rukinga, Kenya: “The course opened our minds to a completely different way of approaching problems. Consequently, we will strongly advocate for the integration of the problem-solving methodology into our programs. We have already identified areas of priority where we can start implementing what we learned during the course.” Join Rob, Andrew, and SARA at the EarthRanger User Conference on 4 November at 09:15 – 10:15 in the Marine Suite: Finding SMART-ER Ways to Solve Your Wildlife Protection Problems. #ERUC #ERUC2023 #crimeprevention #problemsolving #wildlifecrime #capetownjobs EarthRanger

Different methods are used for capturing wildlife in their natural habitats, each with its own set of pros and cons. The choice of method depends on the target species and the environment. What method do you have the most experience with? #WildlifeCapture #NaturalHabitats #ConservationMethods #WildlifeResearch #Fieldwork
