🏞 Everybody needs beauty, as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to the body. 🤔 Have you ever wondered why we have our famous national parks? John Muir, a well-known naturalist and conservationist, lobbied top politicians to create these national parks. His efforts were not in vain, as he convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to save Yosemite and other natural wonders. 🙏 Thanks to Muir and Roosevelt, we have access to breathtaking scenery that helps us reconnect with nature and find peace. 👇 Check out this article to learn more about Muir's incredible legacy: https://lnkd.in/gsP5pJ_i

Can the Wild and Civilization coexist? 🌿 The term 'wild' comes from Old Norse 'víðr,' meaning 'wilderness.' 🛖 'Civilization' roots in the Latin 'civitas,' denoting organized societies and cultural development. While civilization embodies freedom and justice, 'wild' highlights untamed #nature. The tension between civilization and the #wild involves societal trade-offs, reflecting the ongoing dialogue about balancing structure and individual liberties. "When we allow nature to unfold, we unfold ourselves." -Amy Lewis, WILD’s CEO. 🍃 Let's seek harmony, allowing coexistence of #civilization and the wild for a holistic unfolding of human potential. At WILD, we believe that safeguarding nature involves strengthening communities and coalitions that defend the wilderness and protecting at least half of Earth’s lands and seas. 🗓️ A pivotal step in realizing this vision is the upcoming 12th World Wilderness Congress. By convening tribal leaders globally, we aspire to foster meaningful discussions, building shared understandings and trust. Together, we aim to forge a more robust global wilderness #conservation movement. We hope to see you there! 📣 Participation: https://wild.org/wild12/ #forthewild

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: Galveston Bay is the largest estuary on the Texas coast and the seventh largest in the United States. An estuary is defined as "a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea." Estuaries are transition zones between river environments and ocean environments.

Acadia National Park is in existence today because of the #foresight of several men back in 1916, who realized this pristine area should remain as such. As a result, Acadia National Park was the first national park created from private lands gifted to the #public through the efforts of #conservation-minded citizens. If you could concieve of a way to contribute to the future so the area in which you live is better when you leave it, what would you do?!? A few details about the park: It encompasses approximately 49,052 acres in three main areas: 🦞Mount Desert Island 🦞The Schoodic Peninsula 🦞And to the Southwest (accessible only by boat) the Isle Au Haut 🔥There was a major fire in 1947 referred to as “The Year Maine Burned,” that burned more than 10,000 acres within the park - 17,188 acres total acres on Mount Desert Island, which explains why so much of what we explored during our hikes seemed like young forest land! 🔨Much of the physical labor required to build the park's carriage roads and trails was provided by the Civilian Conservation Corps beginning in 1933 - much like all other national parks. ⛰️Cadillac Mountain is the highest “mountain” on the eastern seaboard at 1530’ and “once upon a time” was 2 miles higher before the glaciers came through Of course - when in Maine, you eat lobster!! Apparently, Maine lobsters have sweeter meat than other lobsters because they grow in cold water, which prevents them from absorbing salt and makes their meat sweeter. #working #family #vacation #thinkstrategically #sustainibility #conservation #growthmindset

For centuries, Indigenous land has been taken for farming, public works, and military use. And all throughout these years, continuing to this day, thefts have been occurring under the guise of ecological preservation—green colonialism. Robert Jago explores:

Non-Executive Director Veris Australia, Director Ozfish Unlimited, Independent Consultant, Strategic Advisor WSP (Founder Elton Consulting),
So good to see the expansion of the program nationally.
The progress in seagrass restoration science and success has to be one of the most critical breakthroughs I've seen for estuary habitat recovery in my 25 years in the industry. It wasn't so long ago that we weren't sure it could be done. But failure is success in progress. It's labour intensive to get it right and to scale it up, and I couldn't be prouder that OzFish has the people, tenacity and the tools to take up the challenge. We've had the fishing community successfully restoring seagrass in WA for the past 5 years. Our only challenge now is to continue to scale, across through SA, Vic, Tas and into Qld. If you can help, reach out to us, this is a job for many hands, many partners, many contributors. If you like the idea, we can find a way for you to get involved. Thank you to Catherine Norwood at Coretext for showcasing our story in the latest SeaWeed News. Happy reading.. https://lnkd.in/gJSn6SQ7
