What can we learn from successful conservation efforts? How can we apply those lessons to species and ecosystems in need of our protection? Take a quick dive into these questions on this episode of Twolined Tracks, hosted by yours truly. Learn more about the mysteries of our peatlands by diving into The Northern Peatlands Project (twolined.com/peat), a journey of discovery through one of Earth's rarest ecosystems https://lnkd.in/e-xDQa9D

Amvrakikos Gulf is one of the last two remaining sites in Greece with surviving populations of the critically endangered Fan Mussel (Pinna nobilis), and one of the few remaining and most important in the world. Despite its vital importance, this population faces numerous severe anthropogenic pressures, that directly threaten its very existence. #Pinnanobilis #AmvrakikosGulf #Amvrakikos https://lnkd.in/ddmKMq-Q

An interesting tripartite approach to protecting rainforests; 1. Training of local indigenous communities in using technology and gadgets to monitor and protect their forest such as computers, GPS devices, GPS trackers 2. Set up projects such as cocoa and fish farming which not only helps people's livelihoods but also empowers them via earning revenues and opening doors for business opportunities 3. Provide unconditional cash to members of indigenous communities so they can buy what's most essential to them and the needs of their families. I reckon this is overall an interesting approach for protecting rainforests. Great to hear that Cool Earth has a program in Milne Bay Province here in PNG as well.
