Tincan Island Container Terminal (TICT) marks World Biodiversity Day by engaging in activities aimed at promoting biodiversity and sustainability. This celebration reflects TICT’s commitment to environmental preservation, aligning with global biodiversity conservation efforts. TICT has made significant investments in infrastructure and environmental initiatives, showcasing its dedication to sustainable practices. These include technological upgrades to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, TICT focuses on educational outreach to promote biodiversity awareness among employees and the local community. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to incorporate environmental consciousness into the port’s daily operations, supporting Nigeria’s environmental objectives and contributing to international biodiversity goals. Through these initiatives, TICT not only improves its operational efficiency but also plays a vital role in the global effort to preserve biodiversity, demonstrating how commercial operations can align with environmental responsibility. #PartOfThePlan #WorldBiodiversityDay Tincan Island Container Terminal

To think and act big for biodiversity relies on the power of collaboration. This #InternationalDayforBiodiversity, Peace Parks Foundation is highlighting the vital impact of government partnerships to protect and restore #NatureWithoutBorders, and extend the lifeline that ecosystems provide for people well into the future. #globalbiodiversityframework #biodiversity #partnershipsfornature

The core purpose of BNG policy has always been to restore England's damaged ecosystems by replacing the habitats we have lost over the years. To ensure BNG can deliver on its goal, we will need to take a positive approach that embraces a range of solutions.   Read our latest blog where we discuss why it's so important to find balanced solutions that ensure BNG works in the way it was intended - to deliver large-scale biodiversity recovery and to create practical mechanisms that enable developers to meet their requirements.   https://lnkd.in/ebCmJXz2 #BiodiversityNetGain #NatureRestoration #Planning #BiodiversityLoss

🍃Habitat restoration: It's a real privilege to be involved in the recovery of lost habitats in some small way - with young children ourselves, we are so pleased to be doing something that is contributing to the improvement of the environment for future generations. The part that we play is in visualising the future using CG/3D imagery, for companies like Environment Bank and others who are developing the plans and strategies for these biodiverse habitats. Here's one of our aerial images, featured in this article. 🖼

International Biodiversity Day is celebrated every year on 22nd May and provides an opportunity to foster wide support for The Biodiversity Plan, its protocols and related action frameworks. ‘Be Part Of The Plan’, the theme of International Biodiversity Day 2024, “is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of The Biodiversity Plan.” With a focus on preserving and restoring our planet's rich diversity of species and habitats, Waypoint Program Management are incorporating key elements of the plan into our project strategies. From stakeholder engagement to monitoring and evaluation, we are committed to ensuring that biodiversity considerations are at the forefront of our work. By integrating The Biodiversity Plan into our program management practices, we are not only meeting regulatory requirements but also demonstrating our dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Everyone has a role to play and can, therefore, ‘Be Part of the Plan’. Join us in making a difference for future generations. www.wptpm.com #wptpm #capitalprojects #capitalprograms #CommercialRealEstate #Infrastructure #Defence #NaturalEnvironment #BiodiversityDay #BePartOfThePlan #everyprogramcanbegreat

🌲🐝🦆BNG🌲🐌🐭 Harm to biodiversity should be avoided and minimized first, then mitigated, and finally compensated for. When it comes to development projects, creating a plan to increase biodiversity is crucial. Applicants must measure the existing biodiversity of the site and get it approved by the local authority before starting any development. Developers must ensure that at least 10% BNG is delivered for both major and minor developments, using the statutory biodiversity metric to measure it. Fortis are working with some amazing Civil Consultancies who prioritize biodiversity in their development projects for a sustainable future. #Biodiversity #Sustainability #DevelopmentPlanning

On this International Day for Biological Diversity, let's embrace the theme "Be part of the Plan" and acknowledge the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. 🌏 Biodiversity is the foundation upon which we can build back better, ensuring resilience and sustainability for future generations. It's a call to action for each of us to contribute to the Biodiversity Plan, whether through policy-making, community engagement, or personal choices. So I thought I'd share this article from Australian Water Association's Water Source discussing the Nature Repair Market in Australia. And of course, Stantec has global #NatureBasedSolutions expertise to help meet your biodiversity goals and develop #NaturePositive solutions. Let's be #PartOfThePlan.

How implementing Biodiversity Net Gain can create Social Value 💭 Our latest blog, written by Louise Griffiths AIEMA, explores the fascinating intersection of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Social Value. BNG is now mandatory for most developments in England, requiring a 10% increase in #biodiversity. But its impact goes far beyond simply increasing habitats... Learn exactly: ➕ What biodiversity net gain is, and ➕ What biodiversity net gain means for communities, and how can it create social value? Read the full blog to discover the ways #BNG can do more than just enhance the environment and understand how it can be a powerful tool for creating positive #socialimpact https://lnkd.in/eZ8BRmGe #biodiversitynetgain #socialvalue #sustainabledevelopment #communityengagement
