GreenZone Cleaning & Support Services’ Post

GreenZone has teamed up with Ecologi to restore 55m2 of habitat in the UK 🌿 Our partnership focuses on reviving wildflower meadows, wetlands, heathland, and woodland to support a variety of species. With habitats disappearing, biodiversity is at risk, leading to declines in pollinating insects and iconic animals like red squirrels and hedgehogs. The WWF reports a 56% decline in UK species from 1970 to 2013. By creating and restoring habitats, we not only boost biodiversity but also improve carbon storage in our soils for the future. Every small action counts, and we're committed to making a difference one seed at a time. From small seeds you get big trees, and from small steps, you can make a big impact.

BioCarbon, alongside Carbon Plus México, was invited by Juan Felipe from Rancho La Onza to visit their first registered initiative under BioCarbon's Biodiversity Program. Rancho la Onza, named after the jaguarundi, first photographed on the ranch, is located in the Sierra Gorda reserve in Guanajuato, Mexico. This site is crucial for conservation, with camera traps recording key species such as puma, deer, peccaries, bobcats, and foxes. The initiative underscores the importance of preserving biodiversity in vital habitats. For guidance on registering your initiative under the BioCarbon Biodiversity crediting program, please contact vcardozo@biocarbonstandard.com or cmorales@biocarbonstandard.com #BiodiversityConservation #Sustainability #BioCarbon

Pine hoverflies are extremely important to our eco system as they are both pollinators and waste removers. However, they are one of the rarest species in Scotland. As a result, The Cheeky Panda have sponsored the Pine Hoverfly Project to help save the endangered species and support the forest's biodiversity. Since 2018, the project has grown to successfully breeding 8,000 larvae annually! But it’s not just about numbers—the goal is to restore the biodiversity that modern land use has endangered. Clearing forests destroys the habitats of many species, creating “deserts” in place of vibrant ecosystems. By conserving these old, complex forests, we’re not only helping the hoverflies but ensuring the survival of a range of wildlife that depends on these habitats. We’re reminded on this World Habitat Day that habitats need protection, and we can take inspiration from bamboo—a sustainable resource where you harvest without destroying the ecosystem. 🌱 Let’s work together to protect biodiversity and our planet’s future. #Biodiversity #Conservation #WorldHabitatDay #Sustainable #CheekyPanda #JointheBambooRevolution

Biodiversity and the preservation of nature are critical to human life. What is impressive is that biodiverse environments create healthier living environments and benefit human health and economies significantly more than ecosystems lacking biodiversity. Don't just take our word for it. Check out these TED Talks, which highlight biodiversity. Let your garden grow wild by Rebecca McMackin https://buff.ly/3y84Ch8 Discover the benefits of a biodiverse garden and how to make a biodiverse garden to support butterflies, birds, and more.

Happy #EarthDay from Prairie Restorations! 🌎🐝 Today, as we celebrate the beauty and resilience of our planet, let's remember the intricate web of life that sustains us all. From the towering forests and wetlands to the vast prairies, every ecosystem plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity and supporting life as we know it. But our planet is facing unprecedented challenges. Deforestation, urbanization, and the spread of invasive species threaten the very foundation of native ecosystems. The time to act is now. At Prairie Restorations, we've been dedicated to restoring landscapes with native plants since 1977. But we can't do it alone. We need your help to protect and restore these vital habitats. Here's how we can make a difference: 🌱 Plant native species in your garden, unused areas, or community to strengthen local biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. 🌳 Take action to support local conservation efforts and restoration projects, safeguarding natural habitats and preserving biodiversity. 📚 Educate yourself about native ecosystems and plants to deepen your understanding of their significance and advocate for their protection and restoration. Together, we can weave a stronger, more resilient web of life for generations to come. Join us in restoring our native ecosystems! 🌻 #RestoreOurEarth #EarthDay #PrairieRestoration #Biodiversity #NativePlants

Of the 100 bees species in Ireland, beekeeping only supports a single species - Apis mellifera mellifera commonly known as the Irish honeybee. However, the remains 21 bumblebee species and 78 solitary bee species constitute over 90% of the total Irish bee population. Together, the 100 species are the most effective means of pollination of crops and native flowers. Unfortunately, habitat loss places these precious wild bees at risk, and in turn risks the loss of biodiversity across Ireland. Like DRES Properties, please make an effort to support the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan and create potential wild bee habitats wherever you can. #dresproperties

Biodiversity is the main focus of our reforestation and restoration of degraded land projects 🐝 🌱 By promoting biodiversity through tree planting, other ecosystem services are enhanced such as water infiltration, soil fertility, the presence of local fauna or pollination. This was the case of Setos de Campo Azálvaro, in Segovia, Spain, where they have seen a growth in local fauna in their farm thanks to the planting of 12,000 new trees. This contributed to an increase in the presence of the Common kestrel, a local bird at risk of extinction in the area. Do you also think restoration projects should promote biodiversity? 👇 #biodiversity #regenerativeagriculture #restoration 

Did you know that ecological corridors play a vital role in supporting insects, birds, and mammals to move safely through our landscapes? 🌳 They connect isolated habitats, promoting biodiversity and ensuring the survival of our pollinators. From hedgerows to urban greenways, this booklet for the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan: "Ecological Corridors - Connecting Habitats for Biodiversity' from @BiodiversityIreland provides essential tips for creating and managing ecological corridors in communities and public spaces. 🏞️ Download your FREE copy now: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eBhuSP7M #AllIrelandPollinatorPlan #EcologicalCorridors #Biodiversity #PollinatorProtection #Sustainability #CommunityConservation

As of April this year, Biodiversity Net Gain is now mandatory for small developments. This means that new developments must increase biodiversity compared to what was previously on site before development - only small-scale self-builds and custom developments of less than 9 dwellings on a site of less than 0.5 hectares are exempt. We can help you to create a nature-friendly habitat on your development site that benefits local wildlife, residents, and wider communities, and improves the area’s biodiversity. Do you need help with Biodiversity Net Gain? Get in touch with us by sending an email to hello@mysquaremetre.co.uk with the subject title ‘BNG’ to get started. #BNG #BiodiversityNetGain #BiodiversityUnits #BiodiversityCredits #Biodiversity #Ecosystem #Nature

Happy International Day for Biodiversity! This year's theme, "Be Part of the Plan," calls us all to join forces in halting and reversing biodiversity loss. At Sibelco, we’re committed to being active participants in this mission through various conservation and research initiatives. 🐾 In Brazil, we’ve dedicated 40% of our Jaguaruna quarry to conservation, creating a sanctuary where incredible wildlife like the elusive Margay thrive. 🐝 In Belgium, our pollinator research under the Green Deal is exploring how quarries can promote attractive spots for wild pollinators. 🌿 Our global research efforts are uncovering how quarries can become biodiversity hotspots. From the Roselière program in France to sand lizard studies in Baskarp, we’re learning how to restore and enhance these unique environments. 🌱 This year, we’re rolling out a biodiversity management plan across all our locations, aiming for full implementation by 2030. This underscores our dedication to making biodiversity a cornerstone of our operations.
