Guardians of South Georgia, regular givers, are helping to conserve albatrosses; supporting regular population surveys and research to understanding the birds’ distribution at sea whilst foraging. South Georgia is a globally important breeding site for various species of albatross, but habitat use by some threatened species is poorly understood. Using satellite tags that will enable us to track the birds in near-real time, Light-mantled Albatrosses will be monitored year-round. This will help determine whether their recent population decline at South Georgia is due to a change in distribution or their habitat use. Guardians of South Georgia make a commitment to play a lasting role in the preservation of South Georgia – its wildlife, environment, and cultural heritage.

The potential for southern leaders to use the 30 years of #science that points to darting instead of killing as the most effective long-term solution to reduce herd in Tega Cay, SC. Will these leaders break with the #statusquo?? #policychange #environmentallaw #animalwelfare #wildlifemanagement

Never feed wildlife. Feeding coyotes intentionally or unintentionally is the cause behind many incidents of coyotes approaching or biting people. Just like domestic dogs, food can be a great motivator for uneasy wildlife – and by providing food (directly or indirectly by feeding or attracting other animals) we teach coyotes to expect food from people. By ensuring coyotes do not expect food rewards from anyone, we reduce the chances they’ll approach or get closer to people. 2 Keep dogs on leash. In a multi-year study, 92.3% of dogs who had encounters with coyotes were off-leash. Particularly when coyotes and other wildlife are active – dusk to dawn – keeping dogs on leash not only prevents potential issues with wildlife (who may view dogs as a threat) but can prevent and reduce traffic collisions, negative encounters with people or other dogs, and is frequently required by law. 3 Know the neighbours. If you’re aware of which species are in your community, you can be properly prepared to encounter them and know how to appropriately react. For example, if you’re aware coyotes live in the area and one monitors or follows you through a forest, you may know that this is a common behaviour that isn’t a threat or danger – it’s curiosity and worry for family. 4 Manage attractants and talk to your neighbours about them. Whether it’s a bird feeder, outdoor pet food, or an overflowing compost bin, identifying and managing attractants when wildlife are present can reduce negative encounters. Click here to learn more about managing attractants and what to look for around your home or business. 5 Removal of wildlife is not a solution. The idea of taking a coyote from an urban area and dropping them in a remote wilderness may seem logical, but it’s a highly traumatizing event that can lead to greater issues by breaking up family units, creating conflict within territories, and potentially spreading disease. Wildlife are in our communities because, even though they’re urban or suburban, they’re still part of ecosystems. Learning to coexist – and thrive – with wildlife around us makes for a healthier community and planet. Learn more about the One Health approach by clicking here.

Did you know? Environmental nonprofits are receiving less than 2% of charitable dollars! Out of $471 billion donated to nonprofits in 2020, only $8 billion went towards environmental causes. It's time to prioritize our planet! Let's support organizations dedicated to conservation, wildlife protection, and land trusts. Every little bit counts towards a greener, healthier future for all. #EarthWeek #SaveThePlanet #EnvironmentalJustice #SupportGreenCauses #RedstartCreative #MarylandNonProfits #MarketingForNonProfits

We all know that otters are special animals - not only are they wonderful animals to watch but they are great indicators to a healthy environment. And yet they are being exploited for commercial gain and in some places hunted almost to extinction. Their habitat is being destroyed and fish stocks depleted. And they are being killed on our roads. The International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) is one of the world's leading otter charities. In the UK, IOSF is the only charity solely dedicated to the conservation, protection and care of #Otters based on over 20 years of scientific research in the UK and around the world. #Otters #Conservation #Wildlife https://lnkd.in/eSgbCTvG

Today is World Wildlife Conservation Day, a day to raise awareness and take action to protect wildlife across the world, especially those whose existence is continually threatened by human activities. Hunting, poaching, destruction of wild land and a changing climate are threatening every species on the planet but there are things you can do: 1.      Spread the word. Today is a day to educate and spread awareness of wildlife conservation and the threats to wildlife among friends, family and across your social media channels. 2.      Take the pledge. Never support or buy from companies who engage in activities that threaten wildlife, this includes how they’re products are sourced, for example are their paper or wood products FSC certified, is your seafood MSC certified, look out for Fair Trade logos, B-Corps, etc and never but products made from ivory or other endangered animal parts. 3.      Act. Sign petitions and support other campaigns or donate to a wildlife charity.
