🌿🌍 In celebration of #WorldNatureConservationDay, we proudly highlight our dedication to “Connecting People and Plants, Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation.” At Wildlife Conservation Initiative, we strive to save ecosystems and ensure sustainable development for local communities by engaging the younger generation to love and protect the environment. 🌱🌳 🌟 Wildlife Conservation Initiative comprehensive programs are designed to address critical environmental challenges. 🌟 Our ecosystem restoration efforts have seen significant success, with 42,400 trees planted, contributing to the rejuvenation of natural habitats with our ambitious 2024 action plan includes planting 120,000 trees to restore 150 hectares 🌳 🌍 In bee conservation, we have trained 230 #beekeepers in modern beekeeping, aiming to reach 500 trained beekeepers by 2025. 🐝 🍯 Our climate change mitigation campaigns actively engage youth in schools and universities and women wildlife clubs near planting sites by fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. 🌿📚 🌿 In the field of #agroecology, we have partnered with 342 local farmers to improve farming techniques and enhance livelihoods through #agroforestry. 🌱. We have distributed 12,481 agroforestry trees and aim to plant 25,000 trees by 2025. 🌳👩🌾 🌍 Our initiatives include creating compost pits shaded by passion fruit trees for Women’s Wildlife Clubs and organizing urban farming demonstrations to raise community awareness. These efforts not only promote sustainable agriculture but also contribute to food security and nutrition. 🌾🍎 🌱🌳 We will continue to monitor #restoration progress using GIS and remote sensing technology, ensuring that our initiatives are effective and sustainable.🌍🛰️   #WildlifeConservation #SustainableDevelopment #NatureConservation #WorldNatureConservationDay #ClimateAction #EcosystemRestoration #BeeConservation #ClimateChangeMitigation #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity World Resources Institute One Tree Planted Francois Unal Eric Mirindi DUSENGE Shema Serge @

Meet the Banteng, a wild cattle species once abundant across Southeast Asia. Its populations are disappearing, and the species has just been reassessed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Because species like the Banteng are crucial for maintaining healthy forests, this drastic decline underscores a significant threat to Southeast Asian ecosystems. But there is still hope! In Thailand’s Western Forest Complex, Banteng populations are on the rise due to strong, long-term conservation efforts. This success story shows the power of collaborative protection, and underscores the urgent need for rewilding initiatives. Protecting and expanding habitats, increasing anti-poaching measures, and rewilding species like the Banteng are crucial steps to not only save this species but also restore Southeast Asia’s delicate ecosystems. Re:wild is working alongside the IUCN Asian Wild Cattle Specialist Group (@IUCN_wildcattle) and other partners to conserve wild cattle like Banteng, Tamaraw, and Saola. Together, we’re focusing on species protection, rewilding efforts, and restoring ecosystems critical to biodiversity. The updated Red List, live on October 28th, highlights the urgent need to act before it's too late. #Conservation #WildCattle #Banteng #EndangeredSpecies #Rewild

🐟 Have you got a client with a stretch of river, lake or large ponds? 🐟 If they own the fishing rights, you can now advertise them on LandPlatform® to clubs, syndicates or individuals. As well as being a diversification opportunity, fishing can be a force for good for a number of reasons: Conservation: 🌱 Promotes wetland restoration and water quality improvements. Biodiversity: 🦋 Ensures a balanced ecosystem with sustainable fish population management. Research Support: 🔍 Anglers can contribute to data collection, aiding environmental management. Economic Benefits: 💰 Attracts tourism and generates funds for conservation efforts. Awareness: 📢 Enhances environmental protection advocacy among anglers and the community. Invasive Species Management: 🚫 Can help control harmful species, protecting native biodiversity. Endangered Species Recovery: 🐾 Very often supports habitat conservation for at-risk species. Fishing offers multifaceted benefits, making it an attractive opportunity for those with aquatic property rights. #fishing #fishingrights #angling #lake #river #diversification #property

Saving the endangered Borneo elephant : since 2020, Sabah government agencies in Malaysia have been creating forest corridors in collaboration with NGO’s & agricultural companies, with the buy-in of farmers, as part of conservation commitments to protect the world’s smallest elephant. Yet palm oil cultivation & production continues to cause deforestation, land degradation, pollution & human-wildlife conflict in some of the world’s oldest forests. Deforestation impacts natural ecosystems & wildlife survival in critical ways : Borneo elephants depend on forest connectivity in order to survive, by being able to access natural sources of food & for breeding. Based on recent reports in Sukau Kinabatangan, elephant encroachment into plantation estates remains a recurring problem, where forested areas have been fragmented by thousands of hectares of oil palm sites - small holders have dealt with encroachment four times in June alone, once involving an 80-strong herd. With Borneo elephants now classified as endangered on the IUCN-International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, the Pygmy elephant is considered at risk of extinction. There are approximately only 1,000 wild Bornean elephants, with about 400 breeding adults. The need to do better to protect these species has never been more urgent. #conservation #wildlife #protection #biodiversity #species #extinction

How do we enable a sustainable wildlife ranching sector that benefits both people and wildlife? Our fascinating dialogues series on the Zimbabwe Wildlife Economy ends with our fifth and final event at 12:00 tomorrow, 14 March, which focuses on enabling a sustainable wildlife ranching sector in Zimbabwe. Wildlife ranching presents the potential for multiple sources of income, accompanied by landscape restoration. As opposed to rearing livestock, wildlife ranching offers the potential for tourism and hunting, alongside the trade in animal products such as meat and hides. It also enhances natural habitats, which in turn can generate additional economic opportunities from the sustainable use of other wild species. Speakers involved in tomorrow's discussion include AWEI's Dr Wiseman Ndlovu, Dr Peter Makumbe, Research Manager at Shangani Ranch, and Mr Kudzai Mpakairi, Research Assistant at the The African Leadership University. Ms Nobuhle Thelma Chikuni, Project Officer at the Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association and ShareScreen Africa's Prudence Nkomo will facilitate the dialogue. Don’t miss this discussion on a critical component in building a robust and sustainable wildlife economy in Zimbabwe.
