This is your chance to have your say for nature recovery in Oxfordshire! Have you heard about the Local Nature Recovery Strategy being developed in Oxfordshire? Oxfordshire County Council and partners are developing a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) with, and for, the county of Oxfordshire. The strategy will identify locations to create or improve habitat in areas that can provide the greatest benefit for nature, and the wider environment. What will it look like? The final strategy will include a list of local priorities for biodiversity and a map showing areas where people and organisations could focus action to start achieving county-wide priorities. Mapping actions does not make them compulsory, instead it is expected to increase the opportunities for funding nature recovery actions. Before creating the list of priorities and the map, we are seeking a broad range of views from people across Oxfordshire. We want to hear which nature recovery actions are priorities for you and about any actions that you may be planning to take to help wildlife and nature. Have your say Sign up to one of our free workshops here: Oxfordshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy | Eventbrite<https://lnkd.in/e7vrHaDn> #naturepositive #naturerecovery #oxfordshire #endangeredspecies #conservation #together4nature

Important initiative, listening to people whose lives will be affected by initiatives such as the designation of marine protected areas and offshore renewables is the first step
If Marine Protected Areas are really going to work, then real voices need to be represented throughout the process. Travelling the coast with Simon Berrow of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group we meet communities who's lives depend on healthy seas. Follow along to hear these important conversations. #FairSeas #RealVoices #community #marineconservation

The five Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River play a crucial role in daily life for many North Americans, providing freshwater resources that underpin the prosperity and natural beauty of the region. With millions of us drawn to the area, community growth brings environmental challenges that must be continually addressed to maintain the health of these inland seas and their vast watersheds. On both sides of the international border, Ducks Unlimited teams are conserving and restoring wetland, grassland and forest habitats for all of us. Our mission has always been to conserve this habitat for waterfowl, but that’s only part of the value of wetland conservation. We protect wetlands and adjacent natural habitats—and those ecosystems protect us in return. To learn more, check out our StoryMap, prepared for you by Ducks Unlimited Canada and Ducks Unlimited. ➡️ https://loom.ly/E1E2_Wc #DucksUnlimitedCanada #GreatLakes #FreshwaterResources #Conservation

Coastal erosion threatens many of our coastal communities, with sea level rise and storm surges predicted to compound the issue. Often, solutions to halt erosion involve vertical rock or concrete structures that offer little in the way of supporting marine biodiversity. However, thanks to new approaches and technologies, coastal communities in Port Phillip and Western Port bays are coming up with alternatives. These innovative programs are facilitating the restoration of coastal habitats, such as shellfish reefs and mangroves, that can in turn stabilise the shoreline. Want to learn more? Check out this story from ABC News (featuring Blue Carbon Lab’s Dr Stacey Trevathan-Tackett and the #ReGenOurCoasts program) and hear from scientists, coastal managers, and passionate locals trialling different ways to restore lost ecosystems. https://lnkd.in/gTSbBR2u ReGenOurCoasts is supported by Beach Energy Ltd.

Wetlands are nature’s greatest resource, connecting the land and our rivers. World Wetlands Day is an important opportunity to celebrate the relationship between people and wetlands. Our interdependence is both beautiful and fragile, with urgent action required to preserve and restore these richly biodiverse ecosystems that underpin human wellbeing. Let’s protect and preserve these vital ecosystems for generations to come. #WWD2024 #WetlandsandHumanWellbeing #WetlandsandPeople #ActforWetlands Convention on Wetlands

Conservation Program Manager at National Caucus of Environmental Legislators & Co-Chair of the America the Beautiful for All Coalition's Priorities, Projects & Campaigns Work Group
I learned a ton from moderating this panel! Namely: -Conserving public land doesn't inherently guarantee access, and Maryland has already begun making the latter a priority through the Maryland Greenspace Equity Program. -California's Pathways to 30x30 Plan is a gold star model of community engagement (17 listening sessions over 12 months!) -Colorado's Outdoor Strategy and the Keep Colorado Wild Pass are two examples of creative funding/programming models for other states to consider. -New Mexico's Land of Enchantment Fund is the state's first ever dedicated fund for conservation, and was passed by a part-time legislature, making the investment even more impressive. In summary: if I were to place bets on where to make deep capacity, time and strategy investments to advance conservation and environmental justice goals in the wake of a very uncertain November, I'd go big on states. Kudos: Center for American Progress, Rep. Kristina Ortez, Sen. Sarah Elfreth, Jennifer Norris, Jonathan Asher, Taylor Anderson, Mariel Lutz, Drew McConville, and of course, to our keynote speaker and personal hero of mine: Chair Brenda Mallory
Last week, NCEL's Kate Burgess moderated a #conservation event with Center for American Progress to discuss how states across the nation are collaborating to address the #BiodiversityCrisis. From innovative conservation and outdoor equity funds to Tribal land return, states are leading in conservation efforts. Check out our joint report to learn more about state-level initatives in #Biodiversity ➡️ https://lnkd.in/essp2gtn

National parks overhaul needed now! Alarming new research by Campaign for National Parks has found that only 6 per cent of land within some of our most iconic landscapes is in good health for nature. Turning that around begins with restoring biodiverse woodlands, rewetting peatlands, and establishing sufficient powers for national parks to reward those landowners restoring nature and penalise those harming it. It's time to shift the focus towards managing our national parks for nature, climate and people.
