Conservation efforts for the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) have gained momentum over the past few decades. Captive breeding programs have successfully reintroduced ferrets into their natural habitats, significantly increasing their numbers. Organizations like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and various conservation groups such as Southern Plains Land Trust are working collaboratively to monitor ferret populations, restore prairie dog colonies, reintroduce ferrets and educate the public about the importance of preserving this unique species. These initiatives are crucial for ensuring the black-footed ferret’s survival in the wild.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed adding five giraffe subspecies to the Endangered Species Act, aiming to curb illegal trade and aid conservation efforts. This would require U.S. citizens to obtain permits for importing giraffe products and provide funding for research into their population declines. Could this be a turning point for the tallest animals on Earth? Read the full article in our Dispatch 👉 https://lnkd.in/dMuXT-sJ #ConservationFirst #Wildlife #WildlifeNews #ConservationNews #Giraffes

It's a record-breaking year for the PondNet Spawn Survey! Nearly 1,500 sightings have now been added to the 2024 PondNet Spawn Survey. That means we've already exceeded the previous record (set in 2023) well ahead of the survey closing in May. Thank you to everyone who has got involved so far by adding sightings or helping us to promote the survey. Every single PondNet Spawn Survey record is added to a national dataset, helping to build a picture of where amphibians are breeding. This dataset is made available for national and local conservation purposes. Large datasets, particularly when they span decades, are invaluable for wildlife conservation.

Imagine #animals dying for something as simple as too much salt in their water? The only reason we need to ‘manage’ #wildlife is because of us. Without humans, more wildlife would flourish. This article reminds me of this fact. We must find better ways of doing things and remember we are part of an eco-system and not entitled to all. https://lnkd.in/gyteNTq4

🌍 Protecting Wildlife: Breeding Animals to Preserve Populations 🦋🦊 At BERS Institute, we're launching a wildlife breeding center in our future conservation park to combat the devastating problem of animal roadkill in Florida. 🛣️ Florida roads see over 200,000 animal collisions every year, impacting vulnerable species like turtles, deer, and birds. These collisions cause: Population decline: Some species are already at risk of extinction. Ecological disruption: Losing key species affects the entire ecosystem. Safety risks: Road accidents involving animals pose danger to drivers. Our solution: Breeding & Reintroduction: Raise and release at-risk species to restore their populations. Awareness: Educate communities about preventing roadkill and promoting safer wildlife corridors. 🌱 Your support can make a real difference. Join us in preserving Florida’s wildlife. 📞 Contact for more details: Yohan Ariza 401-436-2753 (Orlando, Florida) ✉️ yohan.ariza@outlook.com #WildlifeConservation #Biodiversity #AnimalProtection #Sustainability #BERSInstitute #Roadsafety #EnvironmentalImpact

We just released our Wetlands Status and Trends report, and our findings show that more than half of wetlands in the lower 48 states are gone, and losses continue. Loss rates have increased by 50 percent since 2009. Without additional conservation actions taken to protect these ecosystems, wetland loss will likely continue, reducing ecosystem benefits for people and habitat for fish, wildlife and plants. Wetlands are one of the most productive and biodiverse habitats, with 40 percent of all plant and animal species living or breeding in wetlands. Threatened and endangered species are no exception, with approximately half of all Endangered Species Act species in the United States being wetland dependent.

Why does wetland loss matter? For starters, it impinges on public health by decreasing supplies of #cleanwater, reduces opportunities for hunting, fishing and ecotourism, and makes the practice of cultural traditions more challenging.

Connecting people, science, and policy for equitable community adaptation in a climate-changed world
The findings of the latest Wetlands Status and Trends report are stark, and they underscore how potentially damaging the impacts of the #SackettvEPA decision could be for wetland habitats across the country. Without state protections for wetlands, more of these incredible ecosystems will be lost.

National Parks Conserving Wildlife! #Nationalparks play a crucial role in conserving endangered species worldwide by providing safe habitats. This protects against poaching, and supports breeding programs. Thanks to the efforts of conservationists, governments, and local communities. Species like the greater one-horned rhinoceros in Kaziranga, the gray wolf in Yellowstone, the Galápagos tortoise, mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, and African elephants in Serengeti are thriving again. These success stories show how conservation initiatives can bring species back from the brink of extinction and restore balance to ecosystems. What do you think about national parks taking initiatives to conserve diverse wildlife? Comment below and let us know if you are a wildlife enthusiast. #Wildlife #EcoTravel #SustainableTourism
