Today is World Nature Conservation Day, and it's all about raising awareness for protecting natural habitats and preserving biodiversity.  Sustainability is in the core of our foundations. We're incredibly proud to team up with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), an organisation doing groundbreaking work to conserve animals and their habitats worldwide. We’re committed to partnering with ZSL in enabling them to run conservation projects to protect endangered species and promote biodiversity. Here are just some of the great things the teams have done to support their amazing work: - We procure all our timber from FSC companies with chain of custodies provided for ZSL - We created mud shoes for the conservation team so they could do their work out in the estuaries and wetlands (we have done a post about this before tho as attached) - We have created transport crates for the partula snails to travel back to Polynesia – to date 15,000 of these have been reintroduced together with the international zoo community Beyond our work with ZSL, we’re committed to sustainability in all areas of our business: Reducing our carbon footprint with electric vehicles. Implementing energy-efficient solutions for us and our clients. Promoting sustainable sourcing and cutting down on waste. #NatureConservation | #Sustainability | #ConservationProjects | #FacilitiesManagement | #EcoPartnerships | #GreenInitiatives | #SustainableBusiness | #ESG

🌿 Forests are home to 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity, yet deforestation claims 10 million hectares every year (Source: FAO). Protecting these ecosystems is critical—not only for the planet but for the communities and wildlife that rely on them. That’s why our Accommodation and Site Member, Cardamom Tented Camp, is taking meaningful action. Through innovative eco-tourism practices, it is safeguarding 18,000 hectares of forest in Cambodia’s Botum Sakor National Park. With revenue from initiatives like the Cardamom Mountains Steam Beer, it funds 16 forest rangers dedicated to protecting this vital ecosystems. Their work has led to a 90% reduction in illegal hunting, allowing endangered species like Asian elephants and otters to thrive. But it’s not just about conservation— Cardamom Tented Camp weaves sustainability into every aspect of its operations. The camp is solar-powered and the vast majority of employees are from the local communities. This is a prime example of how sustainable tourism can generate measurable environmental and community benefits.

Artificial Coral Reefs: Pioneering Solutions for Marine Conservation and Biodiversity Restoration Artificial coral reefs are emerging as a vital tool in the fight to restore marine ecosystems and combat the devastating impacts of climate change. These man-made structures not only provide new habitats for marine life but also support local economies through eco-tourism and sustainable fisheries. With innovations like 3D-printed reefs and global initiatives such as the Great Barrier Reef's restoration programs, artificial reefs are helping to rebuild biodiversity and protect vulnerable coastlines. As we face increasing environmental challenges, the role of artificial reefs in marine conservation is more crucial than ever. By fostering collaboration between scientists, communities, and eco-tourists, these efforts are paving the way for a sustainable future for our oceans. #MarineConservation #ArtificialReefs #Sustainability #EcoTourism #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #OceanHealth

🌳🦜 Embracing Biodiversity: Celebrating International Day of Forests🌿🌍 On this International Day of Forests, let's explore into the rich tapestry of flora and fauna flourishing within the Merensky Forest plantations, highlighting some of its most iconic inhabitants. The Merensky plantations are not just a forest; it's a sanctuary for a diverse array of species, including the majestic Cape Parrot, the playful Samango monkeys, and the distinctive Ground Hornbill ( Isingisi). These creatures, among many others, call this forest home, contributing to its ecological vibrancy and balance. However, their habitat faces threats from deforestation and unsustainable practices. As stewards of this ecosystem, we at Merensky prioritize sustainability and conservation efforts to safeguard these species and their habitats. Let's pledge to protect the Merensky Forest plantations and its inhabitants, ensuring a future where these majestic creatures continue to thrive alongside us. Happy International Day of Forests! 🌳🦋 Follow our linked in page for upcoming news on Annual Cape Parrot Big Birding Day! #IntlForestDay #Sustainability #MerenskyTimber #BiodiversityProtection #Dogood

# Protecting the Future of Turtles: Why It Matters to All of Us Dear colleagues, Today, I want to draw your attention to a critical environmental issue: the conservation of turtle populations and the protection of their breeding sites. 🐢 Why is this important? 1. Ecological balance: Turtles play a key role in ecosystems, helping to maintain the health of coral reefs and coastal waters. 2. Indicator of planetary health: The state of turtle populations reflects the overall health of our oceans and beaches. 3. Cultural heritage: In many cultures, turtles hold deep symbolic significance. 4. Ecotourism: Turtle watching attracts tourists, supporting local economies. 🌊 What can we do? - Support organizations involved in turtle conservation - Reduce plastic use - Choose environmentally responsible tourism - Spread awareness about the importance of turtle conservation Let's join forces to protect these amazing creatures and preserve our planet's biodiversity.

🏖️🐦 Help us protect our beaches and shorebirds!  Tidy beaches can be harmful to the Kentish plover, especially during the breeding period. This little shorebird feeds mainly on vegetation residues at the shoreline where it captures invertebrates such as marine worms, small molluscs and crustaceans, as well as beetles, diptera and other insects and spiders. 😢 Beaches that are regularly cleaned from their natural vegetation residues are poor in food resources and poor habitats for the species. 🌊🌿🐛 Support initiatives that promote sustainable beach cleaning practices to #SaveOurShorebirds and #ProtectOurBeaches. Let’s work together to preserve our #MarineEcosystems and ensure a healthy future for our planet. 🌏🌱 Association "Les Amis des Oiseaux" (#AAO) IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation Tour du Valat ISPRA BirdLife International UNEP/MAP-Barcelona Convention

🌍 Wednesday was International Environment day. An ideal time for us to share the details of one of the beautiful projects that we finance thanks to your purchases, managed by the Fondazione Capellino and the Deutscher Verband für Landschaftspflege e.V. (DVL) association. Our mission: to create an ecological corridor in Bavaria that will connect three protected areas along the Große Laber River, a tributary of the Danube. The objective is to create an integral reserve, through the renaturalisation and management of fresh water, in order to restore ponds and wetlands, essential to the life of many species of birds and microfauna. 🌿 The project's areas of intervention are not limited to the renaturalisation of the ecological corridor, but also to support and accompany the sustainable management of public lands and surrounding tourist activities. 🐶 🐱 This is only possible thanks to the support of all those who choose Almo Nature products for their pets. Every purchase helps support the projects of the Fondazione Capellino for the protection of biodiversity and the environment, such as that of Bavaria. 🔎 Find out more about this project at https://lnkd.in/eTD3TQy8 #almonature #fondazionecapellino #biodiversity #climatechange #profitstotheplanet #reintegrationeconomy #petfood #habitat #große #internationalenvironmentday
