𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🦌🌳 Good news for European wildlife! Some conservation efforts across the continent are paying off, showing promising trends in species recovery. Here’s a look at how: 1️⃣ Rewilding Projects: Successful rewilding initiatives, like those for the Eurasian lynx and European bison, have helped boost populations through habitat restoration and targeted reintroduction programs. 2️⃣ Protected Areas Expansion: The growth of nature reserves and protected areas has provided critical habitats, allowing endangered species to thrive. The Natura 2000 network plays a key role in safeguarding biodiversity across Europe 3️⃣ Stronger Legislation: Policies like the EU’s Birds and Habitats Directives have helped enforce protective measures, ensuring that critical species and ecosystems are preserved While these efforts are working, challenges remain, such as habitat fragmentation and climate change. Continued dedication is needed to sustain and expand these gains 💬 What more can be done to build on these successes? 📖 For the full analysis, visit: illuminem.com #Conservation #WildlifeRecovery #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Rewilding #Europe

🏆 Success Story: The Revival of the Humpback Whale 🐋 Humpback whales were once hunted to near extinction, but international conservation efforts have significantly increased their numbers. The 1986 International Whaling Commission moratorium and the establishment of marine protected areas have been crucial in their recovery. This success story shows the power of coordinated global efforts in wildlife conservation. 🌍🐳 Population Increase: Since the moratorium, the population of humpback whales has rebounded from a few thousand to over 80,000 worldwide (IWC). Marine Protected Areas: The creation of marine protected areas, like the Hawaiian Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, has provided safe habitats for breeding and feeding (NOAA). Community Involvement: Local communities have been involved in conservation efforts, such as whale watching tourism, which supports both conservation and local economies (WWF). #ClimateChange #WildlifeConservation #Sustainability #SaveOurPlanet #Biodiversity #EnvironmentalAwareness #GlobalWarming #ProtectNature #ConservationEfforts #SustainableFuture 🌍 The Future Founders Co.

Did you know that according to research... 1.6 trillion wild animals are killed annually? Either through - Habitat destruction to Pollution, - Poaching and Illegal wildlife trade to Human-wildlife conflict - Disease outbreaks to Accidental mortality, and - Legal hunting to Natural predation, Wildlife face a multitude of challenges that jeopardize their survival. As we look ahead to 2033, I'm left wondering: What will become of our biodiversity if current trends continue? ------------------------ I'm Opeyemi Blessing OYAWALE, a passionate wildlife conservation researcher and consultant on a mission to reshape how we approach wildlife content. I help individuals and Organizations gain recognition, and support for their wildlife conservation efforts. #WildlifeConservation #SustainableFuture #ProtectOurPlanet #EnvironmentalConservation #WildlifeProtection #EndWildlifeCrime #GlobalConservation #SaveOurWildlife #EthicalTreatment

This National Wildlife Week, SBI Foundation would like to highlight our conservation efforts under SBIF CONSERW, focusing on coexistence between humans and wildlife. The Foundation is actively working in over 22 protected areas to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, while promoting habitat-level and community-led conservation models. The initiatives include the protection of endangered species like tigers, elephants, vultures, and red pandas, sustainable wildlife tourism, and rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Through research, advocacy, and capacity building, we aim to preserve biodiversity and support the future of our natural ecosystems.

Celebrate US National Wildlife Day! Join us in recognizing and protecting the incredible wildlife that calls our country home. Let's raise awareness, take action, and make a difference for our furry and feathered friends. Together, we can ensure a thriving future for all. #NationalWildlifeDay #ProtectOurWildlife #JoinTheCause As of 2023, the United States is home to a vast array of wildlife, with approximately 432 species of mammals, over 800 species of birds, and 300 species of reptiles. Despite conservation efforts, nearly 1,300 species are currently listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. If this is indeed true that is very frightening as it includes almost all of our wildlife! The U.S. also faces significant challenges from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, which continue to impact the health and diversity of its ecosystems. Conservation programs remain critical in protecting these species and preserving the nation's rich biodiversity.

🌿 Wildlife Conservation Day: Celebrating forests for their wildlife, nature and biodiversity 🌿 🦥 Forests are not only critical carbon sinks but also vibrant habitats that sustain #biodiversity and safeguard #wildlife populations. Home to around 80% of terrestrial species, their conservation is essential for wildlife protection. 🌍 The LEAF Coalition works to protect #TropicalForests on a global scale, channelling #ClimateFinance at the speed and scale needed to support forest governments working to reduce #TropicalDeforestation, conserve their wildlife and protect their biodiversity. 🌴 This #WildlifeConservationDay, we celebrate the incredible biodiversity of our forests and underscore the urgent need to protect these critical ecosystems. 📖 Read our nature brochure to learn more about how the LEAF Coalition is working to protect nature, biodiversity and wildlife through tropical forest protection: https://lnkd.in/dTP7zW7r #WildlifeConservationDay #LEAFCoalition #ForestProtection #ClimateAction

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting wild species and their habitats in order to maintain healthy wildlife species or populations and to restore, protect or enhance natural ecosystems. Major threats to wildlife include habitat destruction, degradation, fragmentation, overexploitation, poaching, pollution, climate change, and the illegal wildlife trade. The IUCN estimates that 42,100 species of the ones assessed are at risk for extinction.[1] Expanding to all existing species, a 2019 UN report on biodiversity put this estimate even higher at a million species. It is also being acknowledged that an increasing number of ecosystems on Earth containing endangered species are disappearing. To address these issues, there have been both national and international governmental efforts to preserve Earth's wildlife. Prominent conservation agreements include the 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).[2][3] There are also numerous nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) dedicated to conservation such as the Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and Conservation International.
