#Wildlifecrossings “ In the U.S., there are currently more than 1,000 wildlife crossings and counting, largely thanks to a recent influx of federal, private and philanthropic funds. So far, data shows they are highly effective; one study found that crossings on Highway 9 through the Blue River Valley in Colorado reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by nearly 90 percent. These structures can be expensive to build, costing between $500,000 and $6 million, but recent research suggests that the money saved by avoiding crashes recoups the costs in just a few years, along with potentially saving lives. ” https://lnkd.in/eTAP5mB9

In 2015, the Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group, The Nature Conservancy (Australia) and Kilter Rural, launched the Murray-Darling Basin Balanced Water Fund, the first investment vehicle in Australia to provide investors with the opportunity to achieve multiple objectives of securing water for agriculture, realising a financial return and restoring threatened wetlands. Below on the Riverspace site, you can see the wetlands and projects supported by donations of water we are managing in collaboration with many community and government organisations. The estimated 30,000 wetlands within the Murray-Darling Basin are highly diverse, ranging from vast floodplains, billabongs, and swamps to smaller wetlands and streams. The wetlands are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including several threatened and endangered species. Please take a moment to consider making a donation that will go towards restoration and protection of our wetlands. https://lnkd.in/g_ZvcV_U

Did you know? Environmental nonprofits are receiving less than 2% of charitable dollars! Out of $471 billion donated to nonprofits in 2020, only $8 billion went towards environmental causes. It's time to prioritize our planet! Let's support organizations dedicated to conservation, wildlife protection, and land trusts. Every little bit counts towards a greener, healthier future for all. #EarthWeek #SaveThePlanet #EnvironmentalJustice #SupportGreenCauses #RedstartCreative #MarylandNonProfits #MarketingForNonProfits

Imagine a future where Australia's ecosystems thrive once more! 🐨 About 50% of our eucalypt forests have been lost to land clearing for agriculture, but through the Landscape Resilience Program, we're fighting to bring them back by restoring vital habitats by uniting public, private, and government efforts. As Mark, FNPW's Chief Program Officer reminds us, "It might take 200 years to repair some of the damage, but we've got to start somewhere." With every tree donated, you're reviving vital habitats. Join us on a bold journey: plant 8 Million Trees by 2030 and establish 100 community nurseries, building on our success of 1 million trees and 30 nurseries in just three years. Your support can spark real change—donate today and help restore Australia's landscapes.

I'm incredibly proud of my daughter, Olivia Sievert, who is dedicated to saving cheetahs in Africa! 🦁❤️ Through her tireless work and commitment to wildlife conservation, she has not only learned about the challenges cheetahs face but has also spearheaded initiatives that have made a tangible impact. In this short video, Olivia shares her journey and the incredible success they've had with donations and community support. Her efforts have already helped fund anti-poaching patrols, wildlife research, and habitat restoration, but there's so much more to do. What truly stands out is how her passion has united people – from individuals to small businesses – who want to make a real difference. 🌱 SMBs and nonprofits have the power to create a lasting impact by contributing to causes that align with their values. Just as my daughter’s campaign has received tremendous support, your businesses can also help create change while giving back to the community. 💼 It’s inspiring to see how the generosity of others is fueling these efforts, and it shows that even small contributions, when combined, can lead to big results. Together, we can make a lasting difference for wildlife and our planet. Check out the video to learn more about how you can support these efforts and join the cause! 🌿. Perhaps a great way for you or your company to "give back" for Christmas?

I am proud to serve on the Board of Heal the Bay, a non-profit organization that safeguards Los Angeles' beaches and coastal waters. Heal the Bay recently released its annual Beach Report Card for 2023-2024. This comprehensive report ranks beaches across California with a letter grade from A through F, based on the amount of harmful bacteria detected in the water. The full report is available on Heal the Bay's website: Heal the Bay Beach Report Card. The report assesses 700 Pacific Coast beaches from Washington to Baja. This year, we saw an overall decline in water quality across the state, primarily due to winter storm runoffs. However, there is good news: 90% of California beaches received A or B scores for water quality. Southern California beaches (Santa Barbara to San Diego counties) achieved 90% A or B grades in the summer. Similarly, NorCal beaches (Del Norte to Marin counties) earned 90% A or B summer grades, while Central California beaches (San Francisco to San Luis Obispo counties) notched 84% A or B marks. It’s an honor to be part of an organization that plays such a crucial role in protecting our coastal environment. Let's continue to work together to keep our beaches clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. #HealTheBay #BeachReportCard #EnvironmentalProtection #LosAngeles #CleanBeaches
