From pronghorn and elk to moose and bighorn sheep, Western rangelands support amazing wildlife that need wide-open spaces to roam. Studies show these animals weave between public and private lands depending on their seasonal habitat. In 2022, WLFW launched a pilot program in Wyoming to streamline and stack Farm Bill resources. This program rewards landowners who are stewarding pathways for migrating wildlife. Migratory big game species benefit from conservation work like modifying fences for wildlife passage, addressing threats like invasive annual grasses, and working with landowners to protect and conserve working lands.

Urgent Call to Action: Help Worcestershire's Amphibians! 🐸📢 🌍 Worcestershire Wildlife Trust urgently seeks your assistance in reporting toads and frogspawn sightings. This vital initiative aims to collect crucial data on population distribution and breeding habits to counteract the alarming 68% decline in toad populations since the 1970s, largely attributed to climate change-induced drier conditions. Your Contribution Matters: Report Sightings: Contribute to mapping the distribution of these species and understanding their breeding habits. Spread Awareness: Encourage others to report sightings, amplifying our collective impact. Your reports are pivotal in combating the decline of these essential amphibians and informing conservation strategies. Join us in protecting Worcestershire's wildlife! #AmphibianSightings #WorcestershireWildlife #ConservationEfforts 🌿🔍

Did you know that the June sucker is endemic to Utah Lake? The only place in the world you can find this species of fish is right here in Utah! However, because of that, their population numbers are decreasing, and they are listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as Threatened, although still listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. So to celebrate Endangered Species Day, here are a few things you can do to protect this species: 🐟 Keep trash out of waterways 🐟 Conserve water 🐟 Plant native species that don't require constant water 🐟 Fish responsibly

Pantanal Fires Impact on Lives and Wildlife | Amaravati Today https://lnkd.in/gFVMicyG With a veil of smoke engulfing the world's largest tropical wetland faster than ever before, Brazilian Fatima Brandao says she's worried about how the fire will impact people's livelihoods – and the animals that call the Pantanal wetlands home. #PantanalFires #SaveThePantanal #ClimateCrisis #WildlifeUnderThreat #ProtectOurPlanet #EcoEmergency #FightClimateChange #WetlandsInDanger #PreserveNature #SaveOurWildlife #PantanalSOS #ActForThePlanet #BiodiversityCrisis #NatureUnderFire #EnvironmentalUrgency #Worldnews #news #Internationalnews #ATworld #Amaravati #AmaravatiToday

Recognizing the diverse skills and expertise within indigenous and local communities is essential for effective conservation. Beyond being rangers, these individuals often possess valuable scientific knowledge, technical skills, and cultural insights that can contribute significantly to conservation efforts. Empowering these communities involves ensuring that funding and resources trickle down to the grassroots level, allowing them to take ownership of conservation initiatives and implement solutions tailored to their needs and priorities. By supporting and empowering indigenous and local communities, we can enhance both the protection of nature and the well-being of people living alongside it.Ensuring that indigenous and local communities are empowered and recognized for their diverse skills and expertise is essential for effective conservation. Currently, this silent barrier in conservation not only impacts neglected communities but also undermines the protection of species and valuable forests, as their hearts become hardened against conservation efforts. Therefore, placing human well-being and empowerment at the center of conservation is not just ethically necessary but also crucial for achieving meaningful and lasting conservation outcomes that benefit both people and the planet.

Today, we celebrate International Vulture Awareness Day! Vultures are disproportionately affected by poisoning, compared to other wildlife species. All African vultures are threatened with extinction, primarily as a result of wildlife poisoning. At the EWT, we maintain an African Wildlife Poisoning Database. These are the startling facts: To date, we have recorded 1,573 poisoning incidents, in which at least 16,171 vultures died, and at least 29,257 other animals died. The African Wildlife Poisoning database is a collaborative project between the EWT, the Peregrine Fund, and the IUCN SSC Vulture Specialist group, where we record data on wildlife poisoning incidents. Our aim is to understand the scale of the problem across the continent and take action in poisoning hotspots. #IVAD #Vultres #ScienceSaturdays

This is a very one sided view on the effects of fires. In some vegetation types like fynbos, a very hot fire is needed to remove the above ground biomass, for seed generation ect. The animals in that vegetation type are also adapted ie when adult tortoises are killed their eggs are protected below ground ect.

The strategic use of protected areas as focal points for ecological restoration not only enhances the resilience of native ecosystems but also provides vital sanctuaries for endangered species to thrive. #forestrestoration #habitatrestoration #climateaction
