Wildlife conservation efforts on tollways are crucial for protecting biodiversity and ensuring the safety of both wildlife and people. When animals try to cross tollways, they often face risks like getting hit by vehicles, leading to injuries or fatalities. By implementing wildlife conservation measures on tollways, we can help mitigate these risks and preserve the natural habitats of various species. One common method used to support wildlife on tollways is the construction of wildlife crossings such as bridges or tunnels. These structures provide safe passages for animals to move across the tollways without endangering themselves or motorists. By creating these crossings, we can reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, which are harmful to both animals and drivers. Additionally, wildlife conservation efforts on tollways involve habitat restoration and protection. By maintaining natural habitats near tollways, we can provide animals with suitable environments to thrive and prevent habitat fragmentation, which can isolate animal populations and lead to genetic issues. In conclusion, wildlife conservation efforts on tollways play a vital role in preserving biodiversity, protecting wildlife, and ensuring the safety of both animals and humans. By implementing measures like wildlife crossings and habitat protection, we can create a more sustainable environment for all living beings. #SafePassageWildlife #ProtectWildlifeOnRoads #WildlifeCrossingsSaveLives #HabitatProtection #DriveSafeForWildlife #Himanshu #Dutta

Here today - gone tomorrow? European wolves are in very real danger After decades of progress, wildlife conservation in Europe is stalling. Today, the EU Council’s Working Party on the Environment is meeting to discuss downgrading wolf protection. Wolves are already being hunted, shot and culled across Europe despite being listed as a “strictly protected fauna species”. Imagine what would happen if they were downlisted. Do we really want to go back to the days of old when wolves were persecuted, at times to extinction? Wolves were just starting their comeback across Europe thanks to changes in public attitude and legislation as well as to cross-border cooperation. But their populations are for the most part still fragile and lethal control should be used only as an exception and last resort, in very specific contexts. And why even debate killing when we have excellent examples of successful coexistence? Downgrading the wolf’s protection would undermine decades of critical and dedicated wildlife conservation progress at a time when our biodiversity needs bolstering and protecting. And it could set a dangerous precedent. All Europe’s iconic large predators are also coming under increasing scrutiny as are other species described as “conflict”.

Big news for giraffe conservation: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing giraffes under the Endangered Species Act, offering critical protections for five subspecies. This move aims to address the alarming poaching rates and curb the demand for giraffe products, as the U.S. is a major market for items like rugs, boots, furniture, and even Bible covers made from giraffe parts. Protecting these gentle giants is a crucial step toward ensuring their survival in the wild. Let’s hope this action sparks global efforts to safeguard their future. #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #GiraffeProtection

Poaching and Wildlife Crime in Andaman and Nicobar Islands: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are renowned for their rich biodiversity, which includes numerous endangered species, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. The unique flora and fauna of the archipelago make it a critical area for conservation. However, poaching, illegal logging, and wildlife trafficking have become significant threats to the ecological balance of the region. The police, along with environmental agencies, play an essential role in tackling these issues and protecting the islands’ natural heritage.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed protection for one of the nation’s most beloved species—the monarch butterfly—and is encouraging the public to be part of its recovery. Like us, monarch butterflies and their young need food, shelter, and a safe place to live. The proposed threatened species listing under the Endangered Species Act is an important first step to providing these necessities. This is one of those rare wildlife conservation issues that isn’t so difficult to “sell.” After all, who doesn’t want to live in a world where monarch butterflies still fly? The real question is whether we will commit to realizing this dream. Lasting recovery of this magnificent species will depend not only on government protections, but also collaboration among landowners, farmers, conservationists, and everyday citizens who can help safeguard critical habitats along their astonishing 3,000-mile migratory route to survival.  (USFWS statement here: https://lnkd.in/gqkgAyfp)

On this World Wildlife Conservation Day, we confront a stark reality: wildlife populations have plummeted by an average of 73% since 1970. Species like the Iberian lynx, once on the brink of extinction, have rebounded to over 2,000 individuals thanks to dedicated conservation efforts. Similarly, the European bison has been reintroduced into the wild after a century, now numbering over 9,100! These successes demonstrate that with concerted action, we can reverse the tide of biodiversity loss. At Dayrize, we're committed to helping businesses understand the impact of the products they manufacture and sell - because preserving biodiversity starts with reimagining how we live. Today is a reminder: The choices we make now determine the legacy we leave for future generations. Let's act to ensure that the most iconic wonders of our planet endure. #WorldWildlifeDay #Conservation #Biodiversity #WildlifeProtection #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EndangeredSpecies #NatureMatters

Conservation Efforts on Vaquita Porpoise The vaquita porpoise (Phocoena sinus) is the rarest and most endangered cetacean in the world, endemic to the northern Gulf of California, Mexico. With its population plummeting due to bycatch in illegal gillnets, the vaquita faced imminent extinction. At the turn of the 21st century, the vaquita population experienced a catastrophic decline, with estimates suggesting fewer than 10 individuals remain in the wild. In response to the vaquita's plight, comprehensive conservation measures were implemented to reverse its decline. 📍The imposition of a ban on the use of gillnets within the vaquita's habitat, aiming to mitigate the primary threat to the species. 📍Stringent enforcement measures, including increased patrols and surveillance to deter illegal fishing activities. 📍Collaborative initiatives were established involving partnerships between governmental agencies (such as SEMARNAT in Mexico), conservation organizations (such as WWF), local communities, and international partners. However, safeguarding the vaquita's future is ongoing and requires continued commitment, there remains hope that the vaquita porpoise will thrive once again in the waters of the northern Gulf of California. ___________________ I'm Opeyemi Blessing OYAWALE, a passionate wildlife conservation researcher and consultant on a mission to reshape how we approach wildlife content.
