As part of the?America the Beautiful?initiative, the Biden-Harris?administration has launched?Conservation.gov, a new website that helps?connect people with information, tools, resources, and opportunities to support land and water conservation projects in communities across the country.?The website is a public information hub for staying updated on conservation efforts across the country, finding places to recreate outdoors or to volunteer on public lands, and applying for financial assistance in support of conservation projects.?With more than 41 million acres already conserved, President Biden is on track to conserve more lands and waters than any president in history. In addition, through the President’s Investing in America agenda, the Biden-Harris Administration invested more in conservation and restoration in the first two years of the administration than in any other.??? #conservation #ecosystemrestoration

Following the catastrophic 2019-20 bushfires, habitat that survived intact has become an increasingly vital refuge for biodiversity, particularly threatened species. Conservation on private land not only helps threatened species and ecosystems recover from bushfires, it delivers nature-based solutions to help mitigate climate change in the first instance.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "What IS a conservation easement?" - we have a video for you! Check out this recording featuring Hill Country Alliance, Hill Country Conservancy, and several local landowners who have conservation easements on their property and learn more about how these easements work and what benefits they can provide to landowners who want to insure permanent protection of their part of the Hill Country: https://lnkd.in/gRP3-AU8 #txhillcountry #texashillcountry #texaslands #conservation #conservationeasement #txconservation #texasconservation

This is a great success story not only from the perspective of #InvasiveSpecies removal and #EcosystemRestoration but also from a cultural standpoint with the indigenous Aleut people being able to reclaim the original name of #Hawadax Island. It is an illustration of how conservation action and quality partnerships between Island Conservation, its partners the local community can bring about powerful crosscutting outcomes including, in this case, enhanced #biodiversity with the return of nesting seabirds (some of which had not been seen on site for almost 200 years) and strengthened cultural identity for the local indigenous community. #SustainableDevelopment #IslandConservation

The Center for American Progress has released a new column: The Biden Administration Has Reached Conservation Records in 2023. This paper takes stock of the first three years of the Biden administration’s work toward conserving America’s public lands and finds that the Biden administration has conserved over 24 million acres of public lands and has funneled over $18 billion to federal, state, local, and Tribal conservation efforts. This year alone, the Biden administration conserved over 12.5 million acres and channeled $7.5 billion toward conservation programs across the country. Since the Biden administration took office, it has worked to meet community needs through new protections and funding for conservation. But the work is not done; this paper also emphasizes that President Biden must turn towards executive action to bring in big conservation wins in 2024.

Through a concerted and synergistic approach that fosters collaboration and communication, substantial strides have been made in the relentless battle against poaching and the nefarious realm of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) within our nation. This commendable progress is a testament to the joint efforts of the public, private, and conservation sectors. The recently unveiled second report from SAMLIT's Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) Expert Working Group (EWG) marks a pivotal milestone in this ongoing campaign. This comprehensive document not only presents updated typologies and red flags but also offers fresh insights into the dynamics of collaboration and showcases successful case studies. The IWT-EWG comprises individuals who have consistently challenged established processes, pushed the boundaries of conventional methods, and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the preservation of our wildlife and natural resources. Their proactive stance in fostering collaboration, active participation, and knowledge sharing reflects a shared passion that propels tangible results. As we anticipate the developments of 2024, the dedication of this team instills confidence in the positive trajectory of our collective efforts. For those interested in delving deeper into the intricacies of these initiatives, the complete report is accessible through the link provided in the FIC post below. It is anticipated that the insights shared therein will stimulate contemplation among like-minded stakeholders in the fight against wildlife crime. #SAMLIT #SAMLIT_IWT_EWG #UnitedforWildlife #endwildlifecrime Gerald Byleveld Shelley Henwood-Brown Louise van der Merwe Petro Elizabeth Louw Calley Jansen Rob Campbell Dr. Ian Cruickshank Patricia Raxter, Ph.D Kate Bedwell Henri Schomper Rozanne Ahmed Gany To access the full report, please click HERE ? https://lnkd.in/dugg9x3J.

Very interesting conference with an international group of presenters. A huge need for CA forests for biomass recovery and use for carbon neutral energy. Also a need for periodic management in fire adapted forests.
