How can you BEE River-Friendly? Create a pollinator habitat. Creating or increasing habitat for pollinators is one of the most powerful (and empowering) ways to “act locally.” You can start at home by adding perennials and shrubs that attract butterflies, bees, insects, and birds; remember, native plant species are best! To learn more about creating a habitat for pollinators in your yard, head over to One Truckee River’s Pollinator Plant List. https://lnkd.in/gKMU37RM

Manatees are a vital part of Florida's ecosystem, and protecting their habitats begins with cleaner waterways. Florida is not only home to a large manatee population but also to approximately 12% of the nation’s conventional onsite septic systems—around 2.6 million systems. At RioVation®, a Florida-based company in Citrus County, we’re proud to support the mission of improving water quality and protecting manatees with our innovative #BioMaze® technology. By upgrading legacy onsite septic systems, BioMaze® transforms tanks into Suspended Biofilm Generators™, typically producing effluent with low single-digit CBOD5 and TSS, while significantly reducing fecal coliform and nitrogen levels. Together, we can protect our waterways, preserve Florida's environment, and safeguard these gentle giants for generations to come. www.riovation.com www.youtube.com/@riovation #CleanWater #SepticSolutions #EnvironmentalProtection

Elephants are crucial in shaping and maintaining healthy forests—especially through seed dispersal. But what seeds are they dispersing, and how does this affect their habitat? 🌿 Our team has been studying the diet of wild Asian elephants in Cambodia to answer this question. After three years of research in Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary, we’ve launched the Elephant Trees project—a novel tree-planting method based on the plants elephants eat. Curious about the connection between elephants and ecosystems? Read our latest blog to learn how the Elephant Trees project is restoring forests and benefiting communities: https://loom.ly/z8hmqPE #AsianElephants #ElephantConservation
