World Wildlife Fund’s Post

From stopping oil and gas leases that would destroy precious cultural sites at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, to saving the watershed and bears from the Pebble Mine at Lake Clark and Katmai National Parks, to preserving marine life at Biscayne National Park, we at the National Parks Conservation Association are always at the front lines of national park protection. Our dedication doesn’t stop at national park borders because we know that what happens immediately outside of park boundaries, also affects the wildlife, nature and cultural artifacts inside parks. Help us conserve connected landscapes that Protect America’s Legacy and allow national parks to thrive for the next 100 years: https://bit.ly/3AQzC7o

Hopeful news! 🦌 The expanded Klinse-za/Twin Sisters protected area, roughly a third the size of Banff National Park, will help provide the caribou in the Peace River region in Treaty 8 territory with the refuge they need to recover to self-sustaining levels. Thirty-six other threatened and endangered species, including a vulnerable population of grizzly bears, wolverine, bull trout, and fisher, will also benefit from the protections. The Indigenous-led work of the West Moberly First Nations and Saulteau First Nations to save the Klinse-za mountain caribou herd is a model for saving endangered species everywhere. The new protected area has emerged as another inspiring example of the power of co-operation, of Indigenous-led conservation, and land-based reconciliation.

Oregon’s sagebrush steppe is at a crossroads. The Lakeview BLM needs your input on a new plan that could impact the management of 3.2 million acres of public land. Stand up for wildlife conservation and responsible land use. This is a critical opportunity for hunters and anglers to ensure that these lands are managed in a way that balances conservation, recreation, and economic activity to help serve the communities that depend on these landscapes. https://bit.ly/46W8yik=

The national recovery plan for the Nganamara is now in effect to ensure this culturally significant bird survives for generations to come. Shout out to all the Indigenous ranger teams and conservation groups who are working hard to look after Nganamara. https://lnkd.in/gGhrfwy5 Nganamara are a culturally significant and threatened species that live on mallee and mulga country in the Southern Deserts. Malleefowl populations have decreased significantly since colonisation, and are listed as vulnerable due to land clearing and continue to be threatened by wrong way fire and feral predators like foxes and cats. The national recovery plan recommends the research and management actions needed to maximise the Nganamara's long-term survival.

🧓🏿Aboriginal elders in the far north of #Australia’s Queensland state are preparing the next generation of junior rangers to conserve endangered southern cassowaries, take care of their traditional land, safeguard their culture, and hold on to millennia of acquired knowledge. ⚠️Along with declining southern cassowary numbers, traditional knowledge and values are diminishing in youth who pay more attention to Western knowledge and technology 📱 https://lnkd.in/e2yMdGSN

Seagrass meadows are one of the planet's most valuable, yet threatened, ecosystems. In Kenya's coastal areas, local conservation projects such as Vanga Blue Forest are working towards protecting this fragile blue carbon sink and the communities that depend on it. #carboncredits #kenya #bluecarbon #oceans #seagrass Take a look;

On Oct 9, U.S. Representatives Nancy Mace (R-SC), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Mike Thompson (D-CA) introduced the bipartisan North American Grasslands Conservation Act, which would accelerate the voluntary conservation and restoration of grasslands and sagebrush-steppe ecosystems – and the livelihoods and wildlife dependent upon them. Why? Because more than 70 percent of America’s tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass prairies have vanished, followed by the precipitous decline of grassland bird populations. The NAGCA legislation is modeled after the successful North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) and would create a landowner-driven, voluntary, and incentive-based grant program to conserve American’s critically imperiled grasslands.
