Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) encompasses a holistic marine management strategy that intertwines robust marine ecosystem preservation with sustainable resource utilization. Presently, the Government of Indonesia predominantly relies on the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as a primary tool for ocean conservation. Aligning with Konservasi Indonesia’s Protection and Production approach, MPAs can be tailored to operationalize ICM principles. The East Pulau Bintan MPA serves as a viable case study, demonstrating how zoning strategies can effectively balance marine conservation with sustainable resource exploitation. https://lnkd.in/dEktjQ9N

An interesting article by Abeer S. Al-Saud from The Royal Commission for AlUla partner PANTHERA on valuing local wisdom and the role of traditional knowledge and the importance it will play in achieving conservation outcomes in AlUla and across the Arabian Peninsula.

Yet another reason we were beyond thrilled to have Jamie Resor join Encore Renewable Energy's Board of Directors last year. A career of service and commitment to #conservation, #environmentalism, #decarbonization and using #business as a #forceforgood is exemplified in his work 30+ years ago to help establish the Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation. The BTFEC was the first long-term conservation fund in the world and led to #Bhutan becoming the first carbon negative country on the planet. Highly recommend that anyone and everyone involved in #climate, #conservation and #politics watch the 6min video here for inspiration as to what's possible when long term gains are put ahead of short term economic considerations, and what can happen when communities, states and countries work together to generate louder and more powerful voices for change. Showed it to my 10yo this morning who said "wouldn't it be great if our little state of #Vermont could do something like this?" Felt good to tell him that we are. 👍💪 Renewable Energy Vermont Vermont Natural Resources Council VPIRG The Nature Conservancy Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) #climatesuperfund #renewableenergy #solar #sustainability #leadership

Real permeability to nature and fight against fragmentation is a very good infrastructure for ecosystems resilience enhancement

🌿 Exciting Opportunity for Public Input! Joint Management Plans for Central Australia Reserves 🌿 Our planning team has been hard at work collaborating with Traditional Owners to craft draft joint management plans for two significant reserves in Central Australia: Mac Clark (Acacia peuce) Conservation Reserve and Kuyunba Conservation Reserve. 🌳 Mac Clark (Acacia peuce) Conservation Reserve: Nestled 294 kilometers south of Alice Springs, this remote reserve boasts the majestic Acacia peuce, a rare and striking tree native to the Australian arid zone. The draft plan, a result of extensive collaboration with Traditional Owners and park management, aims to protect this vulnerable species and its rich cultural landscape. 🏞️ Kuyunba Conservation Reserve: Located just a short drive southwest of Alice Springs, Kuyunba Conservation Reserve is a secluded haven steeped in cultural significance and ecological diversity. The draft joint management plan, developed in consultation with Traditional Owners and key stakeholders, seeks to preserve sacred sites, archaeological treasures, and vital habitats. 📝 How You Can Get Involved: We invite you to review the draft joint management plans and share your valuable insights. Visit https://vist.ly/w393 to access the documents or inspect physical copies at the Department of Environment, Parks, and Water Security in Alice Springs. Submit your written feedback by Monday, April 15, 2024, via email to parkplanning@nt.gov.au. Your input will play a crucial role in shaping the future management and conservation efforts of these remarkable reserves. Let's work together to safeguard our natural and cultural heritage for generations to come! #CentralAustralia #Conservation #CommunityEngagement #JointManagement #EnvironmentalProtection 🌏🌱

Excited to be part of a science-driven, international conservation organization working to restore wildlife around the world. I just signed a contract with the Zoological Society of London as Project Manager for the Philippine (formerly Benham) Rise Ocean Conservation Area. The PROCA project aims to create an approximately 150,000 sq. km of new large scale MPA and improve management of about 10,000 sq. km as a contribution to the 30X30 shared roadmap to a nature-positive future. The targets will be achieved through 4 key interventions: 1. Upgrade the Phil Rise Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area to Large Scale MPA; 2. Strengthen MPA governance 3. Develop Monitoring, control & Surveillance, and 4. Asses sustainable financing options

Recently, I participated in a panel discussion which focused on rangeland restoration in East Africa. The discussion contributed to identifying major bottlenecks in restoration, key gaps in restoration knowledge and practice, barriers and enablers to scaling, and potential synergies among ongoing rangeland restoration efforts in the region.

Local Ecological Knowledge is a powerful instruments to inform mangroves restoration and conservation!

Power of Resilience.
