What can community members do to protect #waterways in Melbourne? Our researchers worked with Melbourne Water to identify and prioritise behaviours that community members could focus on. They looked at four categories; preventing litter, looking after waterways, protecting stormwater systems and getting involved as volunteers. Their research found: ? Freshwater ecosystems are in decline on a global scale. ? Human behaviour underlies many threats to waterway health. ? Community members can play an important role in improving waterway health. ? We identified and prioritised community behaviours to protect and enhance waterways. ? Findings can inform policies and programs to improve waterway health.

The Suffolk Local Nature Recovery Strategy wants to hear from you! If you live and work in Suffolk, follow the link to share your views, and encourage your friends, colleagues and families, including children and young people, to do the same. By way of background, the strategy aims to: * Boost existing nature (habitats and species) * Create new areas for nature * Improve people's access to, and connection with, nature * Use land sustainably, integrating nature into land uses such as agriculture and development * Collaborate with communities and partners to identify local nature recovery priorities * Assist with Suffolk's climate change mitigation and adaptation to seek win-wins for nature and the climate * Increase opportunities for nature education

It’s no secret that people ?? love ?? waterways. We build our cities near them, we pay a premium for waterfront homes, and many of our favourite things to do revolve around them. And waterways love us too – they give back to us in so many ways, from ensuring our basic water supply and security needs, to supporting recreation and tourism, to strengthening social and cultural ties, to improving our mental and physical health, wellbeing, and happiness. Find out more about the benefits of waterways and what you can do to help protect them: ? https://lnkd.in/gR8y-RUe ? https://lnkd.in/gnJ3AQeX The Urban Stormwater and Erosion and Sediment Control Capacity Building program is funded through the Queensland Government’s ‘Investing in Our Environment for the Future Program’ and delivered by the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation. #waterways #community #resilience

Our latest data from Kawartha Conservation for Tuesday, July 16, reveals that the Pigeon River and East Cross Forest areas received the highest precipitation in our watershed. Understanding these rainfall patterns is crucial for effective water management and community protection. Explore our latest precipitation map and learn more about our efforts in watershed science. Conservation Authorities are essential in monitoring and managing our precious water resources. Stay informed and engage with us to protect our vital water resources. #KawarthaConservation #WatershedScience #PrecipitationMonitoring #WaterManagement

The time for denial is over. The time for action is now. As the rain poured down on the streets of the city. Dr. Patel gazed out of her window, her heart heavy with concern. The familiar sight of flooded roads and landslides had become an annual nightmare. For years, the community had been warned about the dangers of unchecked development and environmental neglect. But time and again, the warnings had fallen on deaf ears. Dr. Patel remembered the devastating landslide that had claimed the life of her neighbour, Mrs. Kumar, just last year. The tragedy had shaken the community, but still, no concrete action had been taken. Determined to break the cycle of denial and inaction, Dr. Patel decided to take matters into her own hands. She rallied a group of like-minded residents and formed the City Environmental Action Group. Together, they conducted research, consulted experts, and presented their findings to the local authorities. They demanded: - Improved drainage systems - Sustainable development practices - Regular maintenance of natural habitats The authorities, faced with the collective voice of the community, could no longer ignore the issue. Slowly but surely, changes began to take shape. New drainage systems were built, and old ones were upgraded. Developers were held accountable for sustainable practices. The community came together to restore natural habitats and create green spaces. As the rains returned this year, the City was better prepared. The floodwaters receded quickly and the landslides were minimal. Dr. Patel smiled, looking out at the resilient city. "The time for denial is over," she said. "The time for action is now." ??? ????? ??? ???????? ?????? ?? ????????? ???? ??? ???? ??? ??????? ??? ??????????? ??? ????'? ??? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? ?????? ???? ?????? ? #GoGreenToday #EcoFriendlyHabits #SustainabilityStartsWithYou #ReduceReuseRecycle #EnvironmentalAwareness #SmallChangesBigImpact
