The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation recently partnered with the Pennsylvania Game Commission to expand Pennsylvania's elk range. Together, they acquired 1,731 acres of land, which has now been added to State Game Land 14. The new range is located five miles east of the City of St. Mary's and links to nearby public forests, creating a connected 21,500-acre conservation zone. The expanded habitat will not only benefit elk but also other wildlife like whitetail deer, black bears, and wild brook trout. https://lnkd.in/gvP2kbxD

Plans are in motion to restore important salmon habitat on NCC’s Gates Creek Conservation Area, northeast of Pemberton, BC. 🐟 This multi-stage project will restore habitat for salmon, bull trout and other fish, by stabilizing the main creek channel and planting riparian bushes and shrubs to shade the stream. This vital work follows the expansion of the conservation area to 130 hectares of wetland and riparian areas. Adding more protected lands will enhance its resiliency and reach for aquatic species and grizzly bears.

🌿🐺 The House has passed a bill to expand gray wolf hunting and trapping, raising profound concerns for wildlife conservation efforts. Led by Rep. Lauren Boebert and HR 764, this decision sidesteps scientific consensus and jeopardizes the delicate balance of our ecosystems. As this bill moves to the Senate, it's crucial to raise awareness and advocate for responsible wildlife management. While we can't guarantee its passage to the Senate, tracking its progress through congressional updates or news sources can provide insights into its likelihood of advancing. Together, we can protect our gray wolves and preserve the beauty and balance of our natural world.

ACT partners with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to protect 538 acres in North Waccasassa Flats region of Gilchrist County Bob and Lori Carroll are strong supporters of land conservation, and their decision to place their property under a conservation easement reflects their commitment to protecting the land’s natural resources. In addition to the conservation easement, the Carroll’s are working with ACT and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Wildlife program to restore upland habitat to benefit imperiled species such as the Eastern Indigo snake and gopher tortoise.

THE GREATEST EFFORT TO SAVE BOBWHITE QUAIL IN AMERICAN HISTORY By Ryan Sparks   You read the title correctly. It might be a mouthful, but the recently announced Working Lands For Wildlife, Northern Bobwhite Pilot Project is the biggest endeavor for bobwhite quail in American history. Announced at the 2024 Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic by USDA Under Secretary Robert Bonnie, the project marks the largest concerted effort to restore bobwhite quail populations across 18 states. This is the first time national funds will be sent to states explicitly for bobwhite quail habitat. Specifically, this project earmarks $13 million for bobwhite habitat in 2024. This project is one part of a larger, 5-year effort to improve 7-million acres of bobwhite habitat. One historical obstacle with bobwhite conservation is that most bobwhite habitat occurs on private land. The Working Lands For Wildlife, Northern Bobwhite Pilot Project seeks to address that obstacle by incentivizing private landowners to participate in voluntary conservation practices that will benefit bobwhite quail.

Reflection on Florida’s Wildlife and Conservation Efforts It’s crucial to step back in time and appreciate the full scope of Florida’s natural landscape. From 1984 to 2022, the removal of wild Florida Panthers reminds us of the urgent need to preserve what remains. Florida has countless abandoned or underutilized areas, like parts of Lake Okeechobee, where conservation efforts could be redirected to help restore wildlife habitats. As we move forward with development, we must balance growth with preserving the ecosystems that make Florida unique. Conservation is key to ensuring that wildlife like the Florida Panther remains a part of our state’s future. We all share the same planet—let’s come together to create a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone. #Florida #Wildlife #Conservation #Nature #Development #Sustainability #WildlifeProtection #PantherPreservation
