Fantastic news from Caltrans about the successful use of the Highway 17 wildlife tunnel by a male puma! Projects like these are vital for ensuring wildlife connectivity and reducing roadkill incidents. As we consider similar initiatives in Temecula, I'd love to hear your thoughts. How important do you think wildlife crossings are for our area? Should we prioritize these projects to enhance safety for both wildlife and drivers? Let's discuss the potential benefits and priority of implementing wildlife crossings in our community. Your feedback is crucial! #WildlifeCrossing #Conservation #Temecula #SafetyFirst #SustainableDevelopment

"We share this world with wild cats, we share this world with wildlife...we are part of the world." Dr. Roberto Salom-Pérez, Panthera Mesoamerica Regional Director, knows that #WeCanCoexist with wild cats and make the planet a better place for both humans and wildlife.

Did you miss our webinar last week?🫣 Don't worry! You can watch the recording through the link below🙌🏻 We have also prepared a comprehensive wildlife fencing specification guide, which can be found through the same link🔗 This guide demonstrates how various roadside barriers can be easily adapted to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) and improve habitat connectivity🌿 #WildlifeFencing #HabitatConnectivity #RoadEcology

Vaughan is home to many types of wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, birds, foxes and coyotes. With some simple precautions, you and your family can live peacefully with urban wildlife. Here are our top five tips to coexist with wildlife: https://lnkd.in/gRTsY8J2

In India, a major issue arises with leopards increasingly approaching villages and towns, often attacking domestic dogs. This phenomenon is partly due to growing urbanization and the reduction of their natural habitat, which pushes these predators to seek food in human-inhabited areas. Leopards, being opportunistic hunters, find domestic dogs to be easy prey compared to wild animals. Leopard attacks cause conflicts between local communities and wildlife authorities, as residents’ safety is endangered. Dogs, often used as guard animals, become prime targets, creating a sense of insecurity and frustration among the residents. To address this problem, several measures are being considered, such as raising awareness among local populations about behaviors to adopt in case of an encounter with a leopard, installing electric fences to protect homes, and efforts to restore and protect leopards’ natural habitats to reduce their need to venture into urban areas. Nevertheless, this forced coexistence between leopards and humans remains a complex challenge requiring a balanced approach that respects both human safety and wildlife conservation. @_planettiger_ @yashchopdaindia #safariwithplanettiger #tiger #indianwildlife #bigcat #wildlife #nature #mother #bandhavgarh #safari #peace #natgeotravelindia #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #ranthambore #wildlifephotography #leopard #sony #dog #instagood #trendingreels #trendingnow #viral #explore #tigres #tigers #association #associationplanetetigre #ngoplanettiger

The repeated application of synthetic fertilizers and overwatering are common practices in lawn maintenance that detriment the environment. In the suburbs, which is often uncontrolled urban sprawl, we commonly see communities with HOA regulations that often require perfect green lawns, instead of promoting native plants that will not require fertilizers nor need constant watering. We need to be changing the rules of the places we live in and educate everyone so they can also be promoters of sustainable initiatives in their own communities. 🙌🏼

One of the reasons people dream of visiting #Patagonia is to see its unique wildlife. Recently, our guides compiled an overview of #TorresdelPaine’s most surprising wildlife facts. If you’re interested in knowing how the puma call sounds or how the ever-present guanaco lives in its herd, check out our fascinating wildlife blog here: https://hubs.la/Q02qtlgD0

Is there any better way to spend a day then investigating both current and future wildlife crossing locations.
