We protect castles, ancient monuments, art, endangered wildlife but what about a tree that could have been standing for over a thousand years and part of the complex ecosystem that supports such wildlife? Protect Trees (woodlandtrust.org.uk)

One of the casualties of the war in Ukraine are the animals left behind. Check out the inspiring story of the people caring for these animals and fighting to prevent the spread of rabies at https://wartails.org. I've had the honor of volunteering to support these amazing individuals remotely. You can learn more about the impactful work of the organization behind the film at https://uwarf.org/. If you want to help, here are three things you can do: - Contact your local film festival and request that they include War Tails in their lineup. - Consider making a donation to support their cause; every contribution makes a difference. - EU citizens, reach out to Commissioner Stella Kyriakides at cab-kyriakides-contact@ec.europa.eu to advocate for more supplies and relief to prevent rabies and care for the animals left behind. Together, we can make a difference for these animal companions in need. #WarTails #SupportUkraine #PreventRabies #volunteer #animalwelfare

The White Mountain wild horses live on nearly 400,000 acres of public and private lands and yet the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) allows for an Appropriate Management Level (AML) of just 205-300 wild horses. This population level was set in 1997 and has not been changed since. The BLM authorizes extensive summer and winter cattle and sheep grazing in the HMA and its surroundings.  Now, the agency plans to remove 586 White Mountain horses, bringing the population down to the low AML of 205 horses, leaving behind just one horse per 1,917 acres in the HMA!  What's worse, the BLM is basing the removal number on a 2022 census, conducted before the extremely harsh winter of 2023 caused heavy mortality for wildlife, including wild horses, across Wyoming. Instead, the BLM is claiming that while the winter severely affected other wildlife species, it did not result in significant mortality in the White Mountain herd. Instead, the BLM is claiming this population has grown by 31 percent over two years.   Help us speak up for White Mountain horses and take action here: https://loom.ly/KUT7L5M

How I EDIT a WILDLIFE Image in LIGHTROOM

I'm new to actually using linkedin rather than just having a profile for the past ten years, and I don't understand how to share my "features" section! So, sharing a link to one of the features, and something I’m particularly proud of – rescuing four Hokkaido brown bears - Hanako, Kai, Riku and Amu. It took around two years of negotiation – from first seeing them in their 4mx4m concrete cages in a snowy, remote part of Japan, to hours of table discussions between multiple stakeholders, from the owners to the Japanese zoo community. We looked for solutions in Japan, but eventually settled on them going to Yorkshire Wildlife Park who were fundamental in making it all happen. It was important to ensure the bear rescue didn’t jeopardise our carefully navigated relationships in Japan, but instead enhance them – which is why we ensured we had relevant national experts involved and signing off on all decisions made. In doing this, we maintained important relationships that has helped continue the work being done for captive wildlife in Japan. There are over 3000 registered captive wild animal facilities in Japan ranging from bear parks to exotic animal cafes. The latter cramming species such as flamingo, otters or capybara into tiny cafes to be petted. Working to change strongly embedded practices and beliefs is always a challenge, but alongside Japanese partners and international colleagues, positive change is starting to happen. Back to the bears - It took around 20 people to help on the day of the move - moving four huge brown bears that have been in their cages for over 15 years was no small feat. We safely got them to the airport – it happened to be a heat wave which didn't help – so we set up giant fans onto their travel enclosures and fed them frozen fruit before they flew. The link is to a video and article from the BBC where we were exhausted but elated to have them arrived. https://lnkd.in/exhEctFf
