- Biodiversity guides a large number of actions in our #SustainableException CSR roadmap: this week, we are putting them in the spotlight. 💚 - METAXA protects the birds of Samos ! The island of Samos, where The House of Metaxa sources its precious Muscat wine ingredient, boasts remarkable biodiversity. To preserve this precious natural heritage, a bird conservation and nature program has been set up, in partnership with the Hellenic Ornithological Society, particularly around the METAXA LIKNON vineyardand the Path of the Muscat vineyards hiking trail. What does this program involve? 🦅 Monitoring local and migratory bird species, with a focus on endangered species. Did you know that Samos is home to 80% of the world's population of Eleonora falcons? 🦅 Installation of nesting boxes, an insect hotel and bird feeding stations to promote biodiversity. 🦅 Raising awareness and educating local communities about the importance of bird conservation. This program, an inspiring example of harmonious coexistence between nature and man, is a testament to The House of Metaxa's commitment to protecting its unique terroir! #Biodiversity

The story of the Orange River-Karoo region is one of ancient cultures and landscapes. The Orange River is vital for the Succulent Karoo, one of the world’s top 25 biodiversity hotspots. The Nama Karoo and Desert biomes intersect within the ORKCA landscape. Once a pristine habitat enabling the world’s largest animal migration of springbok Trekbokken, surpassing even the Serengeti’s ‘Great Migration’ of wildebeest. The springbok Trekbokken has experienced a significant decline in wildlife numbers due to non-regenerative land-use practices and the effects of climate change. The Nama people are the stewards of this land, and joined by today’s commercial farmers, we are seeking a conservation-based future which will restore the region to its former ecological diversity. #ConservationForChange #ProtectOurWildlife #EcologicalDiversity #ORKCA

Biodiversity credits can be a game-changer for businesses looking to showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship. They provide essential funding for preserving natural habitats and protecting endangered species, while also serving as a tangible metric for companies to disclose their environmental contributions. As sustainability becomes increasingly demanded by consumers, investors, and regulators, embracing biodiversity credits can lead by example and promote a culture of responsibility beyond #offset towards a more sustainable and responsible business model. #BiodiversityCredits #EnvironmentalStewardship #Sustainability Nat5 Sven Kallen Life Terra Foundation
🌿 Unlocking the Future of Conservation: The Power of Biodiversity Credits 🌿 In an era where environmental sustainability is no longer optional but imperative, an innovative financial mechanism is making waves in the realm of conservation and corporate responsibiliy: #BiodiversityCredits. These natural assets are not just a tool for financing #conservation efforts but also a transformative approach for companies to demonstrate their commitment to the planet and to disclose their contributions to #climateaction transparently. Biodiversity credits offer a dual benefit. Firstly, they provide essential funding for preserving and restoring natural habitats, which are crucial for biodiversity. By investing in these credits, companies play a direct role in protecting endangered species, maintaining ecosystems, and ensuring the health of our planet for future generations. Secondly, these credits serve as a tangible metric for businesses to showcase their environmental contributions. In an age where consumers, investors, and regulators increasingly demand sustainability, biodiversity credits enable companies to demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship. This is not about offsetting impacts but about taking proactive steps towards a more sustainable and responsible business model. The Finca Alía, Spain ecological restoration project, developed by Life Terra Foundation and certified by the #aOCP, marks a significant milestone in reducing habitat #fragmentation in the region. Thanks to its restoration activities, animal species are now able to roam through larger, more connected parcels of land. #Keystonespecies such as #Canislupus are expected to repopulate this region shortly. Individuals have already been sighted 100 km from the area. The Canis lupus plays a crucial ecological role as the top predator in the area, and its presence is vital for helping to control herbivore populations. The message is clear: biodiversity credits are more than a financial instrument; they are a call to action 🌿.

Wilderlands CEO Ash Knop joined Jason Chong on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Evenings to discuss our partnership w/ Adelaide Festival. A huge thank you to Anthea Hagar for making this interview possible, it provided a chance to dive into the details of the partnership that will see the festival secure some of the world’s first voluntary biodiversity credits and provide a simple way for attendees to unlock their very own Wilderlands profile protecting a one square metre patch of precious biodiversity at the Coorong in the process. Entering the second year of the partnership, the collaboration has a collective goal of reaching a total of 5,000 square metres protected with attendees able to simply visit the Wilderlands website to claim their unit or use the QR code on signs at select Adelaide Festival and Writers’ Week events – to signup for free and secure their very own one square metre patch that will be protected. The Coorong Lakes property is such a special project due to the innovative partnership between the conservation organisation Cassinia Environmental and the Traditional Owners of the region, the Ngarrindjeri people, who are working together to preserve one of Australia’s most important wetland areas. It’s a project full of so much life with over 222 species of native plant recorded during our spring monitoring, with the noteworthy addition of Slender Smoke-bush (Conospermum patens), a species regarded as endangered under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It’s also home to incredible native orchid diversity with over 30 species recently recorded including the world’s largest known populations (on private land) of the nationally endangered Metallic Sun-orchid (Thelymitra epipactoides) – one of Australia’s largest and most impressive sun-orchids. The opportunity to expose the people of Adelaide to this gem of nature so close to their doorstep and create a simple way to protect it, forever, makes this a very special collaboration. Learn more about the ways you can take action as part of this campaign via the article below. https://lnkd.in/eC2mCJEQ #Biodiversity #Conservation

✴️ WHO DOESNT LOVE #ELEPHANTS ? How are these majestic mammals a treasure to our world ? Elephants are a treasure to our world in many ways. They are: ▶️ Keystone species: Keystone species are those that play a vital role in their #ecosystem. Elephants are keystone species in many #African and #Asian ecosystems. They help to disperse seeds, create habitats for other animals, and maintain healthy forests. ▶️ Culturally significant: Elephants are revered in many cultures around the world. They are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and power. In some #cultures, elephants are even considered sacred. ▶️ Ecotourist magnets: Elephants are a major draw for ecotourists. People from all over the world come to see these amazing creatures in their #naturalhabitats. #Ecotourism can help to generate income for local communities and promote conservation efforts. ▶️ Intelligent and emotional: Elephants are highly intelligent and emotional creatures. They have been shown to be capable of complex thought and feeling. They are also very social animals and form strong bonds with each other. ▶️ Vulnerable to extinction: Elephants are facing a number of threats, including poaching, habitat loss, and conflict with humans. As a result, they are now classified as endangered or vulnerable by the IUCN. Elephants are a treasure to our world and we must do everything we can to protect them. We can do this by supporting #conservation efforts, reducing our demand for ivory, and educating others about the importance of elephants.

At Nature FIRST, we are testing preventive solutions for biodiversity conservation in the Maramures region, spanning Romania and Ukraine. This region represents a pinnacle of biodiversity, with dense forests and cultural landscapes, making it a crucial part of the Carpathian wilderness. Due to the region’s unique location on the border of Romania and Ukraine, particular challenges come with it and multi-faceted approaches and collaborations are necessary. But why are these collaborations so important? Why are transboundary biosphere areas essential for biodiversity conservation in Europe? What does this mean in terms of policy making? And what does it mean for the Nature FIRST project? Join us as we delve into the answers to the questions and explore the importance of transboundary biosphere areas.

It's Fun Fact Friday! 🦇 🇳🇿 Did you know that New Zealand boasts a unique fauna where the only native mammals are bats (pekapeka) and marine mammals? That's right, before human arrival, the only land-dwelling mammals in New Zealand were bats! Despite being the native home of only a few mammal species, New Zealand has rich biodiversity, boasting a huge variety of birds, reptiles, and invertebrates. New Zealand's fauna is unique because it evolved separately from other landmasses for millions of years. This isolation led to the development of distinct wildlife found nowhere else in the world. Take the tuatara, for example. This ancient reptile resembles a lizard but belongs to a unique lineage that dates back over 200 million years. Tuataras are often referred to as living fossils because they have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years, making them a fascinating example of New Zealand's evolutionary distinctiveness 🏝 Unfortunately, the introduction of mammals by humans, such as rats, possums, stoats, and feral cats, has had devastating effects on the native wildlife. These introduced mammals have contributed significantly to the decline and extinction of many native bird species, including the iconic kiwi 🥝 Despite ongoing conservation efforts, these introduced mammals continue to pose a threat to New Zealand's biodiversity. The battle to protect native flora and fauna from these invasive species remains a crucial aspect of conservation efforts in the country. In spite of these challenges, New Zealand's commitment to conservation and preservation efforts offers hope for the future of its unique wildlife. Find this and other fun facts on our website: https://www.kuyua.com/blog Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eWRzaaKD Department of Conservation (DOC) #biodiversity #NewZealand #Endemic #InvasiveSpecies
