🌳 Don't miss the forest for the trees—but what about the birds, bugs, and shrubs? All of these lifeforms are essential for forest longevity and regeneration. 🦅 This National Bird Day 2024, ARC features this pair of writhed hornbills whose role in seed dispersal drives forest development: two seemingly small parts of the whole ecosystem whose well-being is inextricably linked with the forest and the ecosystem as a whole. ❗Writhed hornbills are considered near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to habitat loss. Restoration projects initiated by ARC are designed to create habitat for threatened wildlife like the Writhed hornbill. 💚ARC considers the forest, and its trees, birds, and bugs—seeing the forest for its parts and as a whole in order to restore the environment.

Since 2014 our organization’s vision has remained the same - make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. With over 681 planting partners, across 80+ countries in North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific, we have more than doubled the number of trees planted each year. But why trees? Trees make a positive social impact in a multitude of ways. Our global reforestation projects create jobs and a healthier climate, build communities, and protect habitats for wildlife. Today with the support of both individuals and businesses, we can proudly say that we have planted 100 million trees around the world! When you support One Tree Planted, your donation goes towards growing saplings, teams planting trees in rainy seasons, and monitoring our projects across the globe. Together, planting a forest - learn more about One Tree Planted and how you can get involved👇 https://ow.ly/wUKy50Pl8Vr

Bull kelp is responding to restoration efforts! Caspar Cove, located on the rugged Northern California coast, has been significantly impacted by ocean warming and the overpopulation of purple sea urchins, leading to the devastating loss of kelp forests. Our initiative, in partnership with the Watermen's Alliance, focuses on community-driven efforts to restore these vital ecosystems. Recent surveys are showing some promising results of our efforts! Data coming soon 🤓 🤿 Participate in urchin culling and kelp monitoring to help us restore balance and promote biodiversity.

🌊 Get Ready for Clean Beaches Week (July 1-7)! 🌊 If you’re planning to visit your favorite beach this Fourth of July, consider enhancing your experience by celebrating Clean Beaches Week! The first week of July is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of keeping our beaches and oceans clean, and we all have a role to play in protecting our precious marine environments! Here are a few ways you can help: 1. **Pick Up Trash**: If you're heading to the beach, take a few minutes to pick up trash. Leave no trace and pick up any trash you encounter to keep wildlife safe and protect the beauty of our coastlines. 2. **Support Local Nonprofits**: Find and support local environmental nonprofits. These organizations are on the frontlines, working tirelessly to keep our beaches and oceans clean. If you’re in Georgia, check out One Hundred Miles, Surfrider Foundation Georgia, Georgia River Network, and Root Local. 3. **Join a Beach Cleanup**: Use the Ocean Conservancy's website to locate beach cleanups in your area. Participating in these events is a great way to make a tangible impact and connect with like-minded individuals. Check out the Ocean Conservancy's cleanup map here: https://lnkd.in/gqRaRaEZ. Let's come together to ensure our beaches remain pristine for future generations. Every small action counts, and together, we can make a big difference! #CleanBeachesWeek #ProtectOurOceans #EnvironmentalStewardship #BeachCleanup #OceanConservancy #TrashFreeSeas #CommunityAction #RootLocal #PlasticPollution

Mangroves and Saltmarsh are among the most valuable and productive ecosystems on earth, and are also the most threatened, disappearing at an alarming rate globally. At Earthwatch, we refuse to stand idly by while mangroves face unprecedented challenges. Through our innovative approach, we educate, activate and empower communities to highlight local mangrove values and identify threats. By doing so, we enable local communities to become champions of mangrove conservation. Join us in continuing this momentum. We can make a meaningful difference in the work to preserve our planet's biodiversity to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

🌊🌍 Happy World Rivers Day! 🌊🌍 Today, we celebrate the lifeblood of our planet – our rivers! 🏞️ Rivers are not just sources of breathtaking beauty, but they are vital for wildlife and communities around the world. 🦆🐟👨👩👧👦 🌿 Wildlife Sanctuaries: Rivers provide a home for countless species, from fish to waterfowl. They are the heart of ecosystems, sustaining biodiversity and giving life to our planet's diverse flora and fauna. 🌱🦢 🏡 Community Hubs: Rivers have always been gathering places for communities. They offer recreational activities, livelihoods, and a sense of connection to our environment and culture. 🚣♀️🎣 However, our rivers are facing immense pressures. Pollution, habitat destruction, and over-extraction of water are threatening their health. It's crucial that we step up to protect these lifelines. 💧🚯 Here's how you can help your local river: 1️⃣ Reduce Water Waste: Conserve water at home by fixing leaks, using water-saving appliances, and practicing responsible water use in your daily life. 2️⃣ Participate in Cleanups: Join or organise local river clean-up events to remove litter and pollution from riverbanks and waterways. 3️⃣ Support River Conservation: Get involved with organisations dedicated to preserving rivers and their ecosystems like the Forth Rivers Trust. Your time or donations can make a big difference. 4️⃣ Sustainable Land Use: Encourage and practice sustainable land use around rivers to prevent erosion and habitat destruction. 5️⃣ Educate and Advocate: Raise awareness about river conservation issues in your community and advocate for policies that protect these vital resources. Let's cherish and safeguard our rivers for the sake of wildlife, communities, and future generations. 🌏 Together, we can make a positive impact on our beloved rivers! 💙🌊 To find out more on how we protect and enhance rivers or if you would like to donate or get involved, head to www.forthriverstrust.org #WorldRiversDay #ProtectOurRivers #RiverConservation

🎉 3,000 kilometers: Celebrating a milestone and a cause close to our hearts! 🌊 We've just passed the 3,000-kilometer mark on our journey to New York! Each pedal stroke brings us closer to our goal and to supporting two incredible causes. Today we want to highlight Ocean Conservancy. As many of you know, we - Maren and Matthias - can usually be found sailing the world's oceans. So it's only logical that we support Ocean Conservancy - they are dedicated to protecting our oceans from today's most pressing global challenges. Their mission: "Together, we are creating evidence-based solutions for a healthy ocean and the wildlife and communities that depend on it." A few days ago we reached the Atlantic again - the ocean we crossed with our VAST two years ago. In sailing, as in cycling, as in life, we have to live with the circumstances. There's a quote, „We can't change the wind, but we can change the sails.“ While the exact origin is unknown, similar phrases have been used by various authors, and the meaning of the quote is clear: while we cannot control external circumstances, we can adjust (our response) and make the best of the situation. So how about directing our efforts toward effective solutions! Join us in supporting Ocean Conservancy and its vision for a vibrant, healthy ocean. Every mile we ride and every dollar we donate helps. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌍💚 #VastOnWheels #Sustainability #OceanConservancy #NewYorkandBack

Introducing our 1 million pound fundraising appeal: Save Surrey's Nature ❌ 1 in 6 species are at risk of extinction in the UK ❌ 1/3 of Surrey’s species are in serious decline, or are already extinct ❌ Native species have declined by 19% on average since 1970 Save Surrey’s Nature will support our plans to work on our reserves and with partners across the county to restore and expand Surrey’s most diverse and threatened habitats – including nationally-significant heathland and chalk grassland and vital woodlands and wetlands – to help the wildlife that lives there. SWT Chief Executive, Sarah-Jane Chimbwandira says: “With the climate and biodiversity crisis biting harder than ever and putting people as well as wildlife at risk, now’s the time to think and act bigger. For all our sakes, nature’s decline must stop here. "With costs rising, wildlife and the people who work to protect it are more dependent than ever on the generosity of local people. Even if you can only give a small amount, please consider making this investment in our future.” Nature's sending an SOS - will you answer the call?

Los Padres ForestWatch is seeking the public's support to permanently protect Tecuya Ridge's 68 acres of forest habitat in Los Padres National Forest, which is near the convergence of California's Los Angeles, Ventura, and Kern county lines. Tecuya Ridge is a place where endangered California condors soar overhead, where black bears and mountain lions and deer roam, and where breathtaking views stretch from the snow-capped Sierra Nevada to Mt. Pinos and the Sespe backcountry. It’s also a place called Tacuy^ that is culturally and spiritually important to Chumash and Yokuts people. By purchasing this land, we can immediately remove the risk posed by logging, mining, and other development. Our long-term plan is to hold the property in a conservation easement to ensure that it will never again come under threat of development. This living, thriving forest will be used for ecological study, education, traditional indigenous gathering and ceremony, and left to do what forests do best—provide wildlife habitat, regulate our climate, replenish the soil, and serve as an inspiration for us all. Our Tecuya Forever campaign seeks to raise $300,000 to cover the property’s appraised purchase price, closing costs, and completion of a long-term management plan and conservation easement for the land. Your donation will help protect this forest in perpetuity, for generations to come. Learn more about Tecuya Forever: https://lnkd.in/g2SjQT-B #conservation #california #environment
