In Nagaland, Community Conserved Areas (CCAs) are empowering local communities to lead the way in biodiversity conservation. By the use of traditional knowledge and collective action, these communities are protecting sacred groves, wildlife, and ecosystems. The legacy of CCAs is not only about conservation but also about honouring cultural heritage and ensuring sustainable futures. Discover more on how these communities are forging a path toward a greener, more resilient future in this booklet: https://lnkd.in/g6xRSNk9 (Link also in bio) Indrajit Sinha #CommuntiyConservedAreas #PromiseOfCommons #CommonLands #SustainableDevelopment #GenerationRestoration #CollectiveAction #CommunityStewardship #Sustainability #SustainableFuture #CommunityAction 

Natura 2000 - Tuesday Tidbit: Defining Success 🌳Under the Habitats Directive, favourable conservation status requires stable or increasing ranges and populations. Yet, achieving this remains a challenge for most habitats and species. 🌿 What innovative strategies could help more species and habitats meet this benchmark? 🐾 #FavourableConservationStatus #HabitatsDirective #NatureDirectives #Natura2000 #BiodiversityConservation #SustainableDevelopment #EUClimateAction #ConservationMatters #BiodiversityAction #EnvironmentalSustainability #EUGreenDeal #ClimateResilience #SpeciesProtection #HabitatRestoration #SustainableFuture #NatureRecovery #EcoGovernance #ESR #ESG

Inclusivity... 🌈 Compassionate conservationists follow some guiding principles and one of them is Inclusivity. When finding solutions to issues within conservation, considering all individuals sets you up with a good foundation for finding the best solution that minimises harm. When all individuals are given equal value, it allows for a more thorough investigation into the problem. For example, despite most ‘alien/non-native’ species being harmless to their ecosystem, their label means they are less valued by conservationists compared to native species, and therefore any positive ecological, or social benefits are often completely overlooked. ❓ Did you know - many ‘non-native’ plant species actually provide a great food source for many of the incredibly threatened and dwindling insects in the UK?

Like many other conservationists and organisations, here at Verify Humanity, we feel that this is not what conservation means to us. 🌍 Compassionate Conservation is a reaction, primarily, to the consistent and common use of culling in conservation and it is something we feel very passionately about. ⭐ We believe that as conservationists we can be more creative, resourceful and compassionate in our efforts to protect global biodiversity. 🌳 A lot of the changes needed are rooted in speciesist mindsets and require people to challenge and question their current opinions on what conservation means to them. #compasionteconservation #verifyhumanity #parakeet #london #nature #wildlife #conservation #uk #speciesism #value #individuals #protectallwildlife #inclusivity

Today marks International Tiger Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about tiger conservation.

Did you know that planting native wildflowers can be a game-changer for biodiversity conservation? 🌿 By sprinkling wildflowers into your surroundings, you're not just adding a splash of vibrant color to your landscape – you're helping to create vital habitats and food sources for a diverse array of pollinators. Happy Earth Day! 🌍 #EarthDay #Sustainability #TIMESystems

Conservation areas are marked for a reason. Conservation areas are designated to protect and preserve natural habitats, ecosystems, and biodiversity. When construction projects are taking place adjacent to such areas, extra precaution should be implementation to reduce the risk of a sediment and erosion washout to unexpectedly take place. #kci #swppplife
