Greenfleet’s Post

The Greenfleet effect!🌱 Located on the lands of the Dharug people in Limerick, New South Wales, this property was revegetated by Greenfleet in 2019. Recently, our Revegetation Team inspected the site, and it is showing impressive growth in less than five years! 🌳 The trees at Turkey Hill are creating shelterbelts to protect grazing animals and restore parts of this mostly barren landscape. It's a great example of how Greenfleet and farmers can work together to improve land productivity while taking critical climate action.💚 The trees planted were carefully selected and are locally native to the area. They will be vital in revegetating the landscape and increasing the land's productivity.

In 2023, Greenfleet revegetated 22 native forests across 608 hectares!🌳 We’ve restored over 550 native forests in total, and in the past year, we’ve revegetated areas in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, and New Zealand. As they grow, these forests will remove 513,887 tonnes which equates to taking around 120,000 average cars off Australia’s roads for a year.🚗 At our revegetation projects, we select locally native plant species to recreate the forests that existed before land clearing. Legally protected for 100 years, our biodiverse forests will continue to have a sustained and long-term impact on our climate and wildlife by serving as vital sources of food and habitat. We look forward to growing this impact and protecting our climate by restoring more forests.

ACR 802: This project conserves 10.5k acres in the Mississippi Delta and Coastal Plain. These bottomland hardwood forests provide numerous ecosystem services, including water quality protection, carbon sequestration, and economic benefits from outdoor recreation and tourism. The region is considered the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, where more than 40 percent of North America’s waterfowl and 60 percent of all U.S. bird species migrate for winter and is also where more than 100 different types of landbirds breed.

Let’s celebrate the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem! 🌿 Mangrove ecosystems are vital for protecting communities from rising tides, providing opportunities for local fishing, and being an important form of blue carbon. Mangroves can store up to four times as much carbon in their sediments as rainforests.    However, 35% of the world’s mangroves have disappeared since 1980. Restoration and conservation efforts, in part aided by awareness from today’s celebration, have led to a 0.04% rate of loss per year over the last decade. This provides hope for the future of the hardy and adaptable mangrove forest, but sustained commitment over time is needed to prevent its many threats.    We talked to Nirmal Beura from ClimatePartner Impact, an expert in blue carbon mangrove restoration about the importance of mangroves. Read our interview and find out what mangroves are and why they’re special, how they degraded over time, what they mean to the communities relying on them, and Nirmal’s adventures in attempting to measure deep inside their dense forests. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXPDyuzY #MangroveEcosystemConservation #MangroveDay #climateaction #ClimatePartner

Today is World Habitat Day and an important reminder of how important it is to protect the places we call home. At ARGA, we’ve partnered with Reforest to help restore vital habitats. Today, I’m proud of our efforts and looking forward to continuing this journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. This photo was taken in Cooroy during our recent tree-planting day. The Cooroy Mountain Wildlife Corridor project is focused on returning former grazing land in the Sunshine Coast hinterland to its natural subtropical rainforest state. The planting area follows a tributary that feeds into Upper Six-Mile Creek, which ultimately impacts the water quality of the Great Sandy Strait and the Southern Great Barrier Reef lagoon.🌱 #WorldHabitatDay #Sustainability #Reforest #AirportRetailGroupAustralia

🚨 A critical decision for Europe's wolves looms next week, as the Standing Committee to the Bern Convention will decide whether to weaken their protection - essentially making it easier to kill them.  🐺 Wolves have been demonised for centuries, often ignoring their vital role in balancing ecosystems. As soon as their populations recover, they're seen as a threat rather than celebrated as a keystone species. This outdated fear is damaging biodiversity and undermining the health of our natural world.  🫶 Coexistence is the answer! We need bold, modern solutions that empower rural communities to live alongside wolves while protecting wildlife and ecosystems. Investing in education, resources and innovative strategies benefits us all - people and nature alike.  💡 Let's move forward with smarter, sustainable approaches, not backwards with fear-based policies. We must protect wolves and the incredible ecosystems they support 💚 🖊️ Protect their future by signing the Avaaz petition today. https://lnkd.in/epMREP-Q

63-year-old Lengima Kundayo is a key figure within the Makame WMA, the body responsible for the protection of the forests that form the Makame Savannah project. 🌳 🎙️ Kundayo explains that "As children, we lived close to nature. Wildlife was always around us and we saw elephants, lions and antelopes." Kundayo has long played a role in raising awareness within his community about the importance of environmental conservation, and more recently about the forest protection carbon project. 🎙️"People were skeptical at first and did not understand how important the trees are. How do trees produce oxygen without a nose, some asked" Kundayo says, laughing. Things have now changed and there is now community wide consensus that the protection of their forests bring numerous benefits, not only to the environment but to community members across all five participating villages.

Today is World Environment Day, and this year’s theme is land restoration – our specialty!   Restoration involves the recovery of species, ecosystems or landscapes that have been damaged or degraded. This process aims to re-establish habitat to allow wildlife communities to thrive once again – to put back what we’ve lost.   At Greening Australia, we’ve been restoring landscapes for over 40 years and have rebuilt thousands of hectares of habitat to date. Our planting projects provide a multitude of benefits, including food and shelter for Australia’s unique wildlife, tackling salinity on farmland, preventing millions of tonnes of eroded soil from reaching waterways, cooling temperatures in urban areas, and much more.   We can’t turn back time but we can restore forests, revive waterways and bring back soils.

Project Laxford, our landscape scale, ecosystem-wide conservation project aiming to restore wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout populations, has been recognised with a national conservation award. Last week, Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate received a Scottish Land & Estates' Helping It Happen award, supported by Nature Scot – Scotland’s nature agency, advising the government on improving the environment – and celebrating initiatives that are having a transformative effect on their communities, environment and local economy. As part of Project Laxford, this autumn, we’ve tagged 2,000 juvenile salmon to gather invaluable information on their survival rates and to monitor the impact of our nature recovery work. Each year, hundreds of young salmon are microchipped, using the same technology as in domestic pets, enabling the project team to track the tagged fish as they leave the catchment and on their return from the sea as adults. Earlier this year, 72,000 native trees – the first of a planned million – were planted, helping to regenerate the land and restore habitats, enhancing biodiversity as well as providing the best possible conditions for salmon and sea trout to thrive.

🌿𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬: 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬🌿 Did you know that mangrove forests are natural water purifiers? These incredible ecosystems play a vital role in maintaining the health of our coastal waters. Mangroves filter out pollutants, trap sediments, and improve water quality, ensuring cleaner and healthier habitats for marine life. By stabilizing shorelines and reducing erosion, they protect both our environment and our communities. Here was your little pocket of information on International Mangrove Day. Awareness on such assets in nature is vital to drive required conservation efforts. Let's spread more of it! 🍃 #InternationalMangroveDay #MangroveConservation #MarineEcosystems #EnvironmentalAwareness
