Avian influenza (bird flu) is spreading among wild birds, poultry and other animals in BC. Sometimes it can spread to humans and make people sick. It’s important to follow safety measures while hunting, gathering, and harvesting: https://bit.ly/3ZMClIt

https://lnkd.in/dyn3zYU2 Wildlife is vanishing very fast due to shortage of water, food & hunting rather butchery in breeding season that must be stopped Asp. Collection & protection of flood water, rain water, reprocessing of used water, conversion of salitish water is vital for survival of mankind & animals in the deserts, mountains & baren areas. Salicornia grown on salitish water, mangroves grown on coastal line must be given priority. Greening of deserts require plants requiring less water or typical desert plants grown in green areas few years old may be shifted in rainy season in the deserts. We must protect birds by keeping water on roof tops. Thousands of animals & humen being are vanishing on the deserts of Pakistan, armed forces might help them by purchasing their animals for rations & giving water, protection of vanishing wildLife is vital for survival of environments.

Snow leopards inhabit the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the world’s highest and largest plateau known for its extreme cold. These predators sometimes target domesticated yaks, which are protected by Tibetan mastiffs and fences. Despite these challenges, snow leopards persist, often preying on unguarded yaks. Local communities help protect these cats by compensating herders for livestock losses, preventing hunting and allowing the snow leopard population to thrive. https://lnkd.in/fSMCzKJ 📷:@rawrszn.repost 🎥 Mammals (2024)

❌ It’s time to #BanLeadNow ❌ Sign our petition: https://lnkd.in/drGXkqY6 Lead poisoning is one of the greatest avoidable threats to Europe’s birds and wildlife today. The numbers tell the story: - 1 million birds die annually due to lead poisoning from ammunition - 135 million birds risk ingesting lead gunshot - 7 million birds risk ingesting lead fishing tackle - 14 million birds risk eating poisoned prey - 92 bird species risk lead poisoning Iconic, and much-loved species are especially vulnerable, such as the Bearded Vulture, Europe’s rarest vulture, and Bewick’s Swans, who encounter lead shots along their flyways. Birds exposed to lead develop neurological symptoms, lethargy and paralysis, making it difficult for them to feed, escape or even survive. 44,000 tonnes of lead used in hunting and sports shooting ammunition and fishing weights still enter the EU environment each year. There is a simple solution: lead-free ammunition & fishing weights. Sign our petition to help create a toxic-free future and #BanLeadNow!

There is no quicker way to increase food supply for birds in the landscape than wild bird cover. Farmers in ACRES can apply for this Non Productive Investment now. Payments for a 10 m wide strip are good €5.41/ m. On a per ha basis this is €5,400 /ha. Much higher than any other agricultural output.
The right action in the right place. Today we're focusing on Wild Bird Cover Strips - There is arguably no quicker way to providing food and shelter for wild birds than this action. It's a very significant NPI and one which can make a world of difference to seed-eating birds as well as hunting groups for barn Owls and Hen Harriers Visit - http://acresireland.ie for more details #acrescp #irishfarming #EU #sustainable #DAFM #wildbirds Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Meet these unique dogs from Asia who are living & hunting in large packs 🐕🐕🐕 One of only three hypercarnivorous canid species... 🥩🍖🥓 ... not being a picky eater, but preferring large ungulates 🦌 Comment for LOTS of amazing videos on them - including interactions with other wild animals! 😍 Biodiversity reminders, day #318 (-110)🌍🗓❗️ Dhole Status: endangered Geographic range: South, East and Southeast Asia - severely fragmented Threats: ⚠ depletion of prey base (supposed main cause of decline; due to hunting of ungulates to extinction) ⚠ habitat loss and degradation (S-Asia; associated with previous & with human disturbance) ⚠ persecution for killing livestock ⚠ disease transmission by domestic dogs (rabies, canine distemper, etc.) ⚠ competition with tigers and leopards #climateaction #biodiversity #endangeredspecies

🌟 Question: What is the most common animal to carry rabies? 🌟 Answer: Bats: In the United States, bats are often the primary source of rabies transmission to humans. They have been responsible for the majority of human rabies cases in recent years. It's important to avoid handling bats and to seek medical attention if bitten or exposed to a bat. Raccoons: Raccoons are known to be a significant reservoir for rabies in some areas, particularly in the eastern and central parts of the country. Skunks: Skunks can also carry and transmit rabies, and they are more commonly associated with the disease in the western parts of the United States. Foxes: Foxes can carry rabies, although their involvement in rabies transmission varies by region. Coyotes: In some regions, coyotes can carry and transmit rabies, although this is less common than in other wildlife species. #furbusters #mchenrycountyil #lakecountyil #southernwisconsin #wildliferemoval #animaldamagerepair #crittercontrol #wildlifeprevention

Human-Wildlife Conflict: Unlike other large cats and pack predators, cheetahs do not do well in wildlife reserves. These areas normally contain high densities of other larger predators like the lion, leopard, and hyena. Predators such as these, compete with cheetahs for prey and will even kill cheetahs given the opportunity. In such areas, the cheetah cub mortality can be as high as 90%. Therefore, roughly 90% of cheetahs in Africa live outside of protected lands on private farmlands and thus often come into conflict with people. When a predator threatens a farmer’s livestock, they also threaten the farmer’s livelihood. Farmers act quickly to protect their resources, often trapping or shooting the cheetah. Because cheetahs hunt more during the day, they are seen more often than the nocturnal predators which contributes to a higher rate of persecution on the cheetah.

Lynx are endangered. Bobcats, Canada lynx, and Eurasian lynx are listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List. However, the Iberian lynx is listed as endangered. Their current range is restricted to just two isolated areas in Spain, and the population is estimated to be 156 mature individuals. Their numbers are increasing, though. The latest assessment in 2014 changed their status from critically endangered to endangered. Lynx face a variety of threats in the wild, including poor food availability, habitat loss and degradation, illegal hunting, and human collisions National Geographic
