𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱? Preserving the wildlife is a must to maintain an ecological balance. According to the Living Planet Report 2022 by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), there has been about a 69% decline in the wildlife population since 1970. The reasons behind such a staggering downfall in wildlife numbers are deforestation, human misconduct, animal exploitation, climate change, and consumer culture. As per the WWF, the extent to which the world is losing its animal species is 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. Since we play a key role in directing the wildlife towards extinction, it is us who must work towards preserving them. Let’s understand in what ways we can all contribute to wildlife conservation. ☑ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁: We should focus on first mitigating our carbon footprint by adopting sustainable practices like using biodegradable products and energy-efficient appliances, and supporting businesses that advocate the conservation of biodiversity. ☑ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀: Making a wildlife strip that helps connect two core habitats is essential since it allows free movement of animals, which is necessary for them to find resources that they need. ☑ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆: Consuming responsibly and practicing the classic trio known as reduce, reuse, and recycle, will prove conducive to the wildlife habitats. ☑ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀: Engaging in large-scale plantation in previously deforested regions is a great way to conserve wildlife since it helps in habitat restoration. ☑ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Since unique genetic adaptations of a population is lost forever when they disappear, controlled breeding programs within shrinking populations can help ensure that the offspring of a pair inherits a broad spectrum of adaptations. Preserving wildlife is the responsibility of people, governments, and organizations alike. However, we must focus on what we, as individuals, can contribute to wildlife conservation. It is time we protect the animal species and their natural habitat for the next generation. #WildlifeConservation #WildlifePreservation #Conservation #Wildlife #PreserveWildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #PreserveNature #NaturePreservation #SaveOurAnimals #SaveOurWildlife #ProtectWildlife #NaturalHabitat #AnimalsMatter #AnimalRights #AnimalProtection #Sustainability #SustainablePlanet #SaveOurPlanet

An estimated 11 million tons of wild meat are harvested each year in the world’s rainforests alone, fueling the national and international trade in wildlife, and increasing the risk of zoonotic diseases for global populations. For World Wildlife Day, Julia Fa, senior research associate at CIFOR-ICRAF, and experts from Africa and Latin America talk 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.

Two Turtle Doves… and a brighter future for farmland wildlife! 🎵 We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Tesco, focused on restoring habitats and creating safe havens for Turtle Doves and other at-risk species across East Anglia. By working hand-in-hand with farmers and land-managers, this collaboration aims to bring expert conservation advice to life, helping to plant hedgerows, restore ponds, and establish thriving habitats. Together, we’re showing how wildlife-friendly farming can sustain species, boost biodiversity, and support resilient food systems. Turtle Doves have faced a staggering 99% decline, but with a hunting ban already boosting their numbers, we have a real chance to bring their gentle purr back to our countryside and farms. With nature and farming united, hope takes flight.

Proud moment! Today marks the launch of the RSPB's new partnership with Tesco. We'll be working in East Anglia, one of Tesco's key sourcing landscapes, to improve the area of good quality habitat in their supply chain and support farmers on the journey towards nature-friendly farming. 🕊️ 🐝 🚜

👀 82% of people are open to leaving leaves on their property to benefit wildlife. Yet only 25% reported actually doing so, according to the National Wildlife Federation in a 2023 polling. 👀 Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gSG8uhuA We're hoping to get the word out to change these statistics. There are so many benefits to not picking up leaves and yard waste and instead letting them lay where they are until the spring. Here are just a few: 🍁 Leaves and debris provide shelter for the harsh winter months. Many beneficial insects and invertebrates will overwinter under leaves, sticks and cut grass clumps. When we rake it all away, we rake away their winter homes! 🌿 Plants with hollow stems are often chosen by native bees and other pollinators to hide their eggs. These eggs will hatch into larvae, then into adult bees that hibernate through the winter. Without hollow stems, native bees have nowhere to hatch their offspring. 🌳 Fallen and cut-down trees are important to a lot of wildlife as habitat. Instead of burning all your brush or chopping up everything and turning it into firewood, consider leaving a few piles to naturally decompose on your property. This provides habitat to a wide range of species from insects to small mammals. 🐦 Birds that stay in our cold climate all year long depend heavily on native plant seeds for food during the harsh cold months of winter. Many native plants have adapted to stand strong and tall in the snow, providing a critical food source when it is scarce. 🎄 Winter is a beautiful time of year, made even more beautiful with natural, native vegetation left standing during the winter months. Grasses with wispy seedheads swaying in the wind and shrubs with deep red bark poking through the banks of snow provide an interesting and biologically diverse landscape to enjoy all winter long. If we all consider changing our habits, even just a little, we can provide food and habitat for so many beneficial creatures. If we don't, we may continue to see a decline in populations year after year. Join the 25% of people who leave the leaves. Then rake in the benefits every growing season with healthier soils, more biodiversity and more pollinators year after year! #LeaveTheLeaves #Fall #Lawncare #Landscaping #HealTheEarth #EcoFriendly #WildlifeConservation #Pollinators #GreenLiving #Biodiversity #Ecology

Brazil is home to a vast, but overlooked, tropical savanna called the Cerrado. This sprawling patchwork of open grassland and scattered woodlands covers almost a quarter of the country — an area about the size of Greenland — providing habitat for 1,200 mammals, birds and reptiles and 6,000 plant species. Among its remarkable wildlife are giant anteaters, maned wolves, armadillos and brilliantly colored macaws. But today, more than half of the original Cerrado has been cleared for cattle ranching and soy farming, making it one of the fastest disappearing ecosystems on Earth. And only a fraction of the remaining Cerrado is fully protected by the Brazilian government — around 3 percent. In one corner of southwestern Brazil, a project designed by a sustainable timber operator, BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, and supported by Conservation International, is breathing new life into the savanna.

Today is the United Nations World Wildlife Day. An initiative that we at Manna Insect hold close to our hearts. Manna's Toni and Anne have been travelling around Southern and Eastern parts of Africa for several months now, helping Manna Insect's customers set up new insect production units and trying to better understand the underlying issues of local animal feed production and waste management to better support insect farmers in getting started and building more sustainable local food and feed ecosystems. During this time they've also had the pleasure of spending time in wildlife sanctuaries and parks across Africa, seeing some of the most amazing wild animals on this planet, including these elephants at the Amboseli nature park. We all have a joint responsibility to make sure these amazing animals have a chance to life free in their natural inhabitant. UN is doing their part of the equation, let's make sure we do ours. Happy World Wildlife Day!
