🐣 For anyone who joined an egg hunt this past weekend, did you find all the eggs? 🌳 What about a tree hunt? On March 23rd & 24th a team of Community Scientists set out to find 129 trees out of 25,600 in our Carbon Study! How did we do it? Technology and maps! During our Big Tree Measure in October 2023, each of the individually bar-coded trees in our study was geopositioned, giving us an accurate location for each tree. Thanks to Ellaline Luzby, a Masters of Geography student at Swansea University, this data was converted to easy-to-use maps, showing us the location of the trees. 🌱 Once discovered the trees were replaced and remeasured. Why replace trees? In 2023 Glandwr Forest (and much of the UK) experienced 6 weeks without rainfall early in the growing season. This was the largest drought we have experienced since our carbon study began and a number of trees did not make it, particularly in exposed areas with thin topsoil. 💚 A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who came out to join us! Mission accomplished. ⬇️ Full story in our latest blog. #EggHunt #Trees #CitizenScience #Volunteering #Geopositioning https://lnkd.in/g6u9bWdz

A Universe of Moon Jellies in Puget Sound 🌊 Have you noticed an increase in "jellies" while out on the water? Working with Tribal fishers during salmon harvest revealed that Moon Jellies (Aurelia labiata) are more numerous than they used to be. Researchers started to notice an intensification of the blooms after the marine heat wave in 2015-2016 Moon Jellies play an interesting role in Puget Sound's ecology. These gelatinous creatures may be less susceptible to changes in water quality and climate impacts, making them resilient inhabitants of our marine environment. Their presence can indicate shifts in the ecosystem, often thriving where other species struggle. Understanding and protecting the delicate balance of Puget Sound is crucial. At EarthViews Conservation Society, we are dedicated to documenting and preserving this unique marine habitat. Your support helps us continue this vital work. Join Us in Protecting Puget Sound!

🌿 Today is World Rewilding Day! 'Rewilding' is NOT just a fashionable term some ecologists use lightly without real context so let’s explore what Rewilding really is. And let’s do it with a nod to our dearly missed friend Frans de Waal - it all begins with empathy. 🦫 So what is rewilding? Put simply, rewilding is the act of restoring an area of land (or sea!) to a more ‘natural’ state. This may involve reverting human-sculpted landscapes, reintroducing lost or extinct species and supporting struggling natural processes. Some specific examples include re-wiggling straightened rivers or bringing back beavers or wolves. ✨ What rewilding is NOT? Contrary to what some might imagine, rewilding is not just walking away from an area and leaving nature ‘to take over’. Humans have changed our landscapes and ecosystems so much that we have made it near-impossible for nature to restore itself without a little help. There are lots of brilliant benefits to rewilding. (It’s basically a win-win for people, the planet, flora, fauna, and funga!) Discover some of these advantages in the infographic and examples below. 💪 How can I support rewilding? If you’d like to support rewilding efforts, check out organizations like Global #RewildingAlliance, #Rewild or #sanctuarylife and see what you can do to help. (Normally donating funds or your time is a pretty good place to start!) If you’re as fascinated by rewilding as I am, you’ll find some more info in the partnership & programs our #SisterSanctuaries offer! And of course help us #RelistWolves www.RelistWolves.org All Wolves Matter just as all species matter in ecosystem health!

PROJECT DEVERON UPDATE - Barrier removal plans moving ahead. ⛏️ Despite its natural appearance, underneath this mass of overgrown vegetation and debris is a old weir blocking fish migration. Following a successful funding application bid which allowed for the investigation, surveying and detailed design of the removal of the decrepit King Edward weir, which is currently blocking fish migration, a follow up bid for delivery funding has now been submitted with a decision due in 4-5 weeks. Our Project Deveron partners, The THE DEVERON, BOGIE AND ISLA RIVERS CHARITABLE TRUST, were invited to submit a second-round application by the Open Rivers Programme which will, if successful, fund the completion of the project in summer 2024. The removal of this old and now severely overgrown and silted-up weir, will allow for over 11 km of Deveron catchment river system to be fully reopened to fish migration for the first time in over 150 years. This will benefit not only wild Atlantic salmon, but other fish species such as trout and eel, as well as biodiversity more widely. On the monitoring side of the project, important to measure the effect of habitat restoration on the salmon population over time, things are also moving forward. A state-of-the-art ARIS sonar imaging fish counter has now completed its trial period and is in operation, already recording fish entering the Deveron. This will give us a hugely important insight into the numbers and timings of returning adult salmon each season. The team is also recording the downstream smolt migration movements of 2,000 parr that were PIT tagged (Passive Integrated Transponder) in the autumn of 2023. We will hopefully detect them returning as adults after one year as grilse (in 2025) or in subsequent years as multi-sea winter salmon. This combined approach of catchment-scale habitat restoration and effective salmon population monitoring at various lifestages, is at the heart of Project Deveron’s strategy. We look forward to updating you on Project Deveron’s activity again in the near future.

“The rewilding of South Georgia amounts to the single most uplifting environmental story in the world” - Ted Cheeseman, Travel Expert and founder of conservation project happywhale.com South Georgia is a beacon of hope for conservation – it shows so powerfully that ecological restoration is possible and that nature heals when given the chance. We hope you can donate today or this week as part of the Green Match Fund campaign. You can make the most of the matched funding pot so you can make one donation and have twice the impact at South Georgia! Please follow the link below or in our bio to make a donation to SGHT. https://lnkd.in/ehSeUWNM The South Georgia Heritage Trust worked for over a decade with the Government of South Georgia & The South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI) and Friends of South Georgia Island to rid the island of invasive rodents brought to the island during the sealing and whaling years during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The island was declared rodent-free in 2018 after years of fundraising and operational delivery. It has given native bird species a chance to recover after some were at the brink of extinction. Many are bouncing back at remarkable rates. But beyond the island’s birds’ fledgling comeback there’s a story in the seas that’s as powerful – South Georgia’s whales are returning the island’s waters after being hunted to oblivion in the first half of the twentieth century. There’s still much work to be done through the delivery of scientific research and conservation projects on island and in its seas to help species continue along the road to recovery. There’s also work to be done to share the story of South Georgia’s birds and whales recovering from persecution.

🌿🌍 A groundbreaking global study led by the University of Surrey has revealed the remarkable impact of wetlands, parks, and botanical gardens on cooling cities during heatwaves 🌡️ Professor Prashant Kumar, Director of Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE), says green spaces and waterways have a significant role in cooling urban environments. From the shade provided by trees to the air-cooling effect of evaporating water, the study provides a detailed understanding of why these areas are essential for mitigating heat. Key findings from the study show that botanical gardens can lower city temperatures by an average of -5°C during heatwaves, with wetlands and parks following closely with -4.7°C and -3.2°C averages, respectively. The research emphasizes that the impact varies based on local factors but highlights the potential of creating 'green corridors' by connecting green spaces for even greater cooling benefits. 🌳 Support our project to restore waterways in our towns and cities and help us preserve and expand green spaces for a cooler and more sustainable urban future: https://lnkd.in/gfA-emjE https://lnkd.in/gFhrcyqZ Source: Global Study: Wetlands, Parks Key to Cooling Cities in Heatwaves | Mirage News #Biodiversity #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience
