#Przewalski’s horses are providing repeated good news for ecosystem restoration and #rewilding, from Mongolia to Kazakhstan, on to multiple sites across Europe…
Great to see momentum growing
(Delighted to be part of this effort!)

#Rewilding is vital to boost nature recovery, climate action, and livelihoods…
#Oyster 🦪 recovery at this scale could be instrumental in accelerating benefits over much larger areas around the North Sea

More photos of wildlife crossings in comments. Great idea!
And the trickle becomes a flood…

#Rewilding is realising the potential of #GenerationRestoration 🌰
Restoring connectivity doesn’t always have to be at landscape level…
Cattle grids are death traps for smaller species, preventing movement for many species beyond the livestock they are designed to exclude
If You live rurally, ask landowners to act, or add a few bricks 🧱

I know Paul well, know the quality of his efforts as I worked alongside him for some years - But still wasn’t aware of his publication
Thank You Claire - That’s a new report for me
Did u know? If you have a cattle grid close to you, install a ramp inside each subterranean compartment so that small souls like hedgehogs, mice & amphibians can escape if they inadvertently fall in. We made some simple brick steps in ours. Works perfectly. 🙏🌍🦎🐸🐀🦔
Excellent recommendation Lyn - Yes - Ben Goldfarb’s book is an invaluable contribution to understanding the impact of linear infrastructure
Good news for seagrass, and wider marine diversity…
Active pollution reduction in Marseille has resulted in passive recovery of the nearby #seagrass beds
Give nature space & time, and she will heal herself

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities..labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. And they’re replacing all of it..with fifteen political appointees”

People often ask - What can I do as an individual to make a difference?
Here’s a great example of where a conservation problem (#roadkill) can be reduced by volunteers directly, while the advocates are seeking to create wildlife tunnels to resolve the problem permanently…

🌰 Evidence for restoration & rewilding… but how to turn it into action creating measurable change?
Exciting times! Reintroducing condors to the wild in California is one of the great ongoing successes for conservation in North America
Great nature recovery work takes great vision, commitment, and patience, with decades needed for effective delivery

The final Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, died in Hobart Zoo in 1936 - An infamous extinction fuelled by bounties
First hand reports persist, unproven, in Tasmania
Archaeologists now believe rock art shows Thylacines remained on mainland #Australia until <1,000 years ago
#Extinction is forever 🌰
How an underground fungal map of one of the world’s oldest, slowest-growing rainforest trees can boost the resilience of Earth’s long-term carbon sinks?

Brazil Creates Its Largest Marine Protected Area, Over a Million Hectares
Brazil has created its largest marine protected area of over a million hectares (2.5 million acres) with a 56,000 hectares of buffer area in Albardão National Park and the Albardão Environmental Protection Area (APA). Their…
A lone hiker is in the mid distance, traversing heather & gorse, with a beech forest behind. In the distance a snow capped ridge of mountains
A series of bear dung boluses filled with beech seed husks sits in a crack in a rock surrounded by soft dry moss
A wonderful ent of a beech tree, its centre completely rotted out and three tripod legs left holding it up. All the “legs” and branches a shooting out a twisting at different angles
A cluster of glistening inkcap mushrooms growing inside a tree hole, surrounded by mulch filled with beech seeds and hazelnuts
Celebrated #WorldRewildingDay looking for brown bear signs in a wild corner of northern Spain.
Success! Evidence of a bear enjoying last autumn’s beech mast.
We also found clues of other interactions with the beech tree: some glistening inkcaps, and a dormice’s cache of hazelnuts inside a treehole
A beaver swims in green-tinted water, as it holds food in its paws. Logs and green foliage are in the background, adding depth to the serene, natural scene. Adobe stock image.
Beaver-induced hydrological change turned wetland into a net carbon sink with an approximate carbon storage of 100 tons per year, according to an analysis in Communications Earth & Environment. go.nature.com/4dvQTTZ 🌍 🧪
🌰 #GenerationRestoration needs to employ all its creativity to show the common sense value of #restoration and #rewilding
Beavers’ water 💧 management value is unrivalled, and here is more evidence to prove their importance as ecosystem engineers (again!)
On #InternationalDayOfForests we're celebrating the Colombian black oak. An endangered and endemic tree species, found in Colombia's cloud forests. We're working with local collaborators to uncover the fungi living belowground supporting these trees so we can better advocate for their protection.
‘Business Unusual’ is what is needed to scale up restoration…
