The Santa Ana River is spectacular, but capturing more water for human use means less for its ecosystem and native species. How do we secure our water supply while protecting endangered species? The answer is the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). 🐟🌿 The HCP addresses endangered species issues and allows us to build water supply projects, balancing the needs of people and wildlife by improving species conditions over time. The Upper Santa Ana River HCP, a collaboration among 11 local water agencies, wildlife agencies, and environmental groups, forms a holistic strategy to conserve native species while implementing crucial water projects. Working together makes a difference, and the HCP is that difference for our watershed.  #HabitatConservation #SustainableWater #EnvironmentalProtection #Collaboration #SanBernardinoWaterValleyMunicipalWaterDistrict

🐆 CCF UK was part of the #2024GlobalCheetahSummit! With fewer than 7,500 cheetahs left in just 9% of their historic range, urgent conservation measures are crucial. We brought together global experts to discuss key initiatives for immediate impact and future restoration plans. From delving into the intricate ecology of cheetahs to addressing the urgency of Ending the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT), and mapping out Cheetah Reintroduction initiatives, the summit covered crucial ground. 🌿 But it didn't stop there. We delved deep into creative strategies to combat primary existential threats —  human-wildlife conflict, loss of habitat, shrinking prey base, fragmentation, and illegal wildlife trade.  Together, we're shaping a future where cheetahs thrive. #SaveTheCheetah! #WildlifeProtection  #CheetahConservationFund

From clean air to wildlife habitats, forests are crucial to our planet’s health. At Grey Matter Concepts, we care deeply about forest conservation and support @The National Forest Foundation's efforts to protect these vital ecosystems. Support conservation, practice Leave No Trace.

A (very) structured overview of how the high integrity forest protection initiative HIFOR can help companies meet regulatory and voluntary nature and climate objectives. Includes a fantastic overview of ESG regimes for a non expert like me. Great initiative. Thanks! I put a link to the Wildlife Conservation Society HIFOR summary below for others who like myself were not so familiar. #conservation #HIFOR #tropicalforests

🐾Happy Wildlife Conservation Day! 📅Today marks an important day for remembering the vital role wildlife plays in our ecosystem. It's a day to raise awareness of the issues that threaten various species in the wild. ♻As advocates of #plasticfreeperiods we acknowledge the impact plastic has on the environment. Not only in marine ecosystems but also on terrestrial grounds. 🫵Take action today to conserve wildlife by saying no to single-use plastics. Your actions today are the roadmap for a better tomorrow. #Wildlifeconservationday #plasticfreeperiods #saynotoplasticpollution #ecofriendlypads #MakeTheChoice

Today, on World Wildlife Day, let’s broaden our perspective on wildlife. It’s not just about the majestic tigers and elusive leopards; it’s also about the vibrant butterflies fluttering in our gardens and the magneficient eagles soaring in the sky. Every creature, big or small, plays a crucial role and occupies a key position in the delicate balance of our ecosystem. As urban residents, we have a responsibility to protect and preserve this biodiversity. Simple actions like planting native flowers, reducing plastic use, and supporting conservation efforts can make a significant difference. Let’s pledge to be mindful of our actions and their impact on wildlife. Together, we can ensure a thriving planet for future generations. 🌱🐾 #WorldWildlifeDay #Biodiversity #Conservation #UrbanWildlife #SustainableLiving #Greenaffair

This alliance is part of our commitment to 🦊 biodiversity and sustainability in the region. #AgroAmerica #MayaBiosphere #Conservation #Sustainability

Crossness nature reserve is one of the few last remaining strongholds for the ‘endangered’ Shrill Carder Bumblebee. This species now has only 2 strong populations left in the UK, one in the Thames Eatuary and one on the Severn Eatuary in Wales. There is a new battle to protect its habitat at Crossness after plans have emerged to destroy 6 acres of habitat to house a new carbon capture facility. https://lnkd.in/eX4WsG48
