Oregon’s sagebrush steppe is at a crossroads. The Lakeview BLM needs your input on a new plan that could impact the management of 3.2 million acres of public land. Stand up for wildlife conservation and responsible land use. This is a critical opportunity for hunters and anglers to ensure that these lands are managed in a way that balances conservation, recreation, and economic activity to help serve the communities that depend on these landscapes. https://bit.ly/46W8yik=

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "What IS a conservation easement?" - we have a video for you! Check out this recording featuring Hill Country Alliance, Hill Country Conservancy, and several local landowners who have conservation easements on their property and learn more about how these easements work and what benefits they can provide to landowners who want to insure permanent protection of their part of the Hill Country: https://lnkd.in/gRP3-AU8 #txhillcountry #texashillcountry #texaslands #conservation #conservationeasement #txconservation #texasconservation

The Multiple Benefits of Wetland Conservation and Restoration on Public Lands.

Wetlands are critically important ecosystems that improve water quality, provide wildlife habitats, maintain ecosystem productivity, reduce storm damage and improve water supply. The Métis Nation holds strong cultural ties to the land and water across the Homeland with a deep respect for its diverse ecosystems. Through our Conservation Program, the Métis National Council supports Governing Members with advocacy, policy analysis and program development that advances Métis-led conservation and restoration of lands and waters.

When conservation efforts work together, the impact can be greater than just the sum of the parts. https://hubs.li/Q02CHhKj0 The National Wild Turkey Federation #NWTF #OutdoorRecreation #OutdoorLife #Conservation #WaterConservation #NatureConservation #GreatOutdoors #Nature #ForTheLoveOfAllBrandkind

🚨 Extinction Alert! 🚨 It's a heartbreaking story of the Northern White Rhinoceros. Once majestic giants roaming the savannas of Africa, they've sadly become extinct in the wild in the 21st century. With only a few individuals left in captivity, it's a stark reminder of the urgent need for conservation efforts. What do you know about Northern White Rhinoceros? Let’s discuss what we can do to prevent further extinctions. 🦏💔 Don’t forget to sign in for the #FarmEASY operating system waiting list: https://lnkd.in/duFyyfMP #ExtinctionAwareness #SaveOurRhinos #conservationmatters

On this Earth Day, we’re calling attention to the fact that America’s  grasslands are vanishing at an alarming rate. These are the prairies, savannas, glades, and sagebrush steppe lands in our own backyard communities. These ecosystems protect our waters, soils, and climate. And as this grassland habitat disappears, so do the wildlife populations dependent upon them. Today, more than two dozen conservation organizations have joined forces to underscore the importance of grasslands habitat conservation. Please visit  https://lnkd.in/gj6qnF5M to learn about the magnitude of impact this habitat loss has had on 15 iconic grassland-dependent wildlife species,  ranging from birds to mammals and fish to insects. #mapforgrasslands #actforgrasslands

We’ve protected more than 1 million acres of working forests across 21 states with a total economic contribution of $850 million through our Working Forest Fund. These working forests sustain tens of thousands of American jobs, store hundreds of millions of tons of CO2, protect and enhance habitat for key wildlife, filter the water we rely on every day and so much more. Millions of acres of these vital forestlands are at risk of fragmentation and development. Learn more about how we are acting now before they’re lost forever: bit.ly/3QQyDZm.

Each year, monarch butterflies cycle through several generations before migrating to central Mexico or coastal California. They need large, intact natural landscapes to complete their journey. That’s why NFWF’s Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund is seeking grant proposals to conserve monarch butterflies and at-risk pollinators. Learn more and apply for up to $5.1 million in grant funding: https://loom.ly/D19_eiw Thanks to our partners in this effort, Bayer | Crop Science, Danone, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Foundation, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management and USDA Forest Service. 📷: A monarch butterfly colony in Mexico #pollinators #monarchbutterflies #environment #conservation

In this latest blog Richard Sharp and Rob Free from ARC’s field teams explain how we use conservation grazing as part of our habitat management work and some of the important aspects which must be taken into account before using this long-standing method: https://lnkd.in/eCBvV6VH
