Wildlands League’s Post

One of the best keynotes on the critical future of working lands and conservation. Lesli Allison I highly reccomend you listen to this. https://lnkd.in/g2pw3Vjk Old Salt Festival was profound for the caliber of minds that came together to share in case studies, collaborations happening between rancher and conservation organizations, stories of mindset shifts in producers and gov agencies, chefs and investors walking the walks. What Western Landowners Alliance is doing to build bridges is critical.

"Excited to share that I participated in the World Wetlands Day quiz and received this certificate! 🌍💧 It was an enlightening experience delving into the importance of wetlands and their impact on our ecosystem. Grateful for the opportunity to learn and engage with fellow enthusiasts in celebrating the significance of wetlands conservation. Looking forward to applying this knowledge to contribute to the preservation of these vital ecosystems! #WorldWetlandsDay #QuizCompetition #CertificateAchievement #WetlandsConservation"

Read the latest from our friends at Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance about the great conservation and restoration work going on in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island.

A short but powerful production on the Fisher Foundation’s recent initiative in Northern KZN. The early teenage years are critical to world views being formed and if we can contribute to a shift in mindsets among the youth, one of these future custodians of our protected wildlife areas can go on to not only forge a career in conservation – but may well find themselves in a sphere of influence in business and government that can impact positively on policy change. Cultivating a transformative mindset within these vulnerable ‘fence line’ communities is not only a strategic move but a moral imperative to ensure the long-term well-being of both the ecosystems and the people who inhabit them. https://lnkd.in/grC--fEC

Very interesting conference with an international group of presenters. A huge need for CA forests for biomass recovery and use for carbon neutral energy. Also a need for periodic management in fire adapted forests.

What can we learn from the successes in tropical forest protection in the last 30 years? .. reposting this blog in celebration of International Forest Day #internationalforestday #tropicalforest

Read about Pacific Forest Trust's #conservation impact in 2023 https://lnkd.in/gvDraGFP & triple your impact with a year-end gift-https://lnkd.in/gUZtWm9h Conservation Wins-More acres, more progress! - We made big strides this year on the conservation front. In #Oregon, we developed the Forest Management Plan for our Mount Ashland Demonstration Forest. Over 1100 acres of wet meadows, streams, in the most biodiverse conifer forests in the world, we were privileged to work with world-class scientists and foresters on the Plan and cannot wait to begin work in 2024! - In #California we completed funding for the conservation of the Shasta Timberlands Working Forest. This project, many years in the making and surviving the Antelope Fire, conserves some 7,500 acres on Mt. Shasta’s northeastern slopes and forms a strategic connection between public and private working lands in order to provide connected and conserved habitat for hundreds of species. - PFT also made huge strides towards completing the conservation of the 11,000 acre Trinity Headwaters. - Additionally, we must mention that PFT received a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to develop and implement an ambitious, forward-looking pilot project to promote a transition from the sometimes-catastrophic fires we have been experiencing to beneficial fire regimes.
