Way to go Caltrans there are huge possibilities using the existing culverts that are present already with lower cost and significant uptake for wildlife to use these structures.#wildlifeconnectivity #roadecology #reducingroadkill

Reconciling wildlife and wild meat 🐾 On the occasion of World Wildlife Day, #ForestsNews spoke with Julia Fa, senior research associate at CIFOR-ICRAF, and experts from Africa and Latin America about the importance of sustainable wildlife management, approaches to reconcile wildlife conservation and wild meat consumption, and what it will take to advance towards a more sustainable future.

Did you know that cork trees are an essential part of the ecosystem? These forests are among the most diverse landscapes globally and are home to many different plant and animal species. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), “cork oak forests support one of the highest levels of biodiversity among forest habitats, as well as the highest diversity of plants found anywhere in the world.” Let's appreciate and protect these precious natural resources! #corktrees #ecosystem #biodiversity #savetheforests

Fresh off the mic Pelecanus News is here! In our newest episode we're thrilled to announce a major win for conservation efforts on Hawai‘i’s Big Island! The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated over 119,000 acres as protected critical habitat for 11 plants and a Hawaiian picture-wing fly. This milestone comes after advocacy from the Center for Biological Diversity, highlighting the importance of preserving our unique biodiversity. From coastal areas to lush rainforests, these protected habitats span across 21 distinct areas, safeguarding endangered species and their homes. While this is a crucial step forward, there's more work to be done to address threats like fire, development, and invasive species. Every plant and animal plays a vital role in our ecosystem, and protecting their habitat is essential for their survival. We must continue to prioritize conservation efforts to ensure a thriving environment for generations to come. 💚 Listen to the whole episode here -> https://loom.ly/S7RvmKA #ConservationWins #ProtectOurPlanet #HawaiianBiodiversity #CriticalHabitat

Ecosystem Services of #Mangroves "Mangroves support #biodiversity and fish nurseries, reduce erosion, protect coasts, regulate the climate, and provide resources." Check out this infographic beautifully illustrates how these coastal wonders provide us with essential ecosystem services provided by #mangroves. 👇 #BlueYatra: A #GreenYatra initiative focused on Restoration and Conservation of the Coastal ecosystem through #Mangrove plantation and awareness. Let's protect and preserve these vital ecosystems! 🌏 PC: Wildlife Conservation Society, Sarah Markes

Replacing culverts can pose challenges to aquatic wildlife movement. That's why, to safeguard the local ecosystem, we teamed up with a marine biologist to implement our culvert replacement on Leslie St, Newmarket.    Catch a glimpse below of how our team installed new concrete box culverts alongside temporary extensions. Our team completed this in a multistage process that allowed for continuous water flow throughout the culvert to decrease the disruption of wildlife movement.   With sustainability being a main concern behind our actions, the infrastructure we build is designed to safeguard the biodiversity of the surrounding area. #WeAreAmico #AmicoBuildsSustainability #CulvertReplacement
