Equity in Conservation Spotlight: Participatory conservation through subsistence agriculture in Tyonek Tribal Conservation District Public participation in federal projects is crucial, but often feels overwhelming for Alaska Native communities managing multiple agencies and projects. As Laurie Stuart from Tyonek Tribal Conservation District notes, a culturally responsive approach that respects the long-term stewardship of these communities is essential for successful integration of short-term programs. https://lnkd.in/ePiTuCiR

Some landowners in NSW are turning their property into an income producing asset - not by developing it - but entering into a partnership with NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust. By doing so, they are helping to protect the valuable biodiversity of our ecosystems. In specific high-priority areas in central and eastern NSW, landholders can enter a fixed price offer, where payments can reach up to $420 per hectare per year.

Just published my second full-length paper, "Taking natural harms seriously in compassionate conservation" in Biological Conservation. In it I argue for two things: 1. The framework of compassionate conservation, while made with the best of intentions, is conceptually messy and needs a tidy-up. I propose a new version in the article. 2. If it is to be truly compassionate, it needs to also include concern for the natural suffering of wild animals. 🐿 🐟 🦎 But if it does that, it will require a more radical change to conservation practice.

The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists Global Alliance (IYRP Global Alliance) calls upon States, protected-area authorities, organisations of the United Nations system, other international and regional organisations, including global conservation organisations, and other relevant stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, and academia, “for action to uphold the rights of pastoralists, recognise their role in sustainable rangeland management and biodiversity conservation in protected areas and wider landscapes, and support conservation measures that contribute to pastoral livelihood resilience, including indigenous and community-conserved areas that support pastoral livestock systems.” Read full position paper here: https://lnkd.in/erkXJqge

Australia uses one hand to stroke the koala and the other to smack it across the face. Australia is very, very good at making species go extinct. It is a rather longstanding tradition for us. We are a world leader in global extinctions, and have the highest rate of mammal extinctions in the world. We also have the rare distinction of being one of the few countries to send its most iconic species to the brink of extinction: the koala. New South Wales is clearing 570 football fields of habitat each day. At the same time that it has committed to protecting the koala and also ensuring no new extinctions of other species. In Australia, 33,992 hectares of koala habitat has been approved for clearing since 2012. If you would like to signal your desire to see an end to runaway habitat clearing, you can contact NSW Premier Chris Minns, Environment Minister Penny Sharpe, and/or Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty.

----Srategy in Action------ While conservation projects/actions often prioritise megafauna and charismatic animals, plant species are often overlooked. We know that plant species and their habitats are equally threatened. Here we publish a techical note with strategies for conservation of rare and threatened tree species in Jalthal remnant forest. These strategies draw from ecological survey, review of species biogrography and local prioritisation activities. The conservation actions are informed by fine scale population data of species. https://lnkd.in/dRM7sKae

The science is clear: to tackle climate change and protect our planet's biodiversity, we must involve local communities. But how can we ensure these communities are at the heart of our efforts? Community stewardship of natural resources has never been more urgent. This transformation requires immediate, collective action by various stakeholders, especially in government and business, to help the planet thrive within our planetary boundaries. This is the focus of our roundtable discussion. It's time to recognise the vital role local communities and their efforts play. By appreciating and valuing their contributions to the socio-ecological landscapes they inhabit and care for, we can create a future where local actions, traditions, and knowledge are respected and celebrated, ensuring a safe and just planet for all.

Communities have been in the forefront of conservation. As stewards of the resources, they not only conserve the forests for their livelihoods, but provide services to the larger society. They have been able to do so through their care and rules the frame to protect the resources from overuse by themselves. They tax themselves either through monies or labour to do the tasks. They deserve to be supported through STEWARDSHIP FUNDS for their contribution to the larger society and to continue to do the work they do more effectively. We aim to explore further through the North East Regional consultation on 19th July 2024.

In this introductory module I learnt about the extinction crisis of species, hope for recovery, the IUCN Red List, the goal of the IUCN Red List, estimation of extinction risk, who is involved in the IUCN Red List Partnership, current assessment status, comprehensive assessment, application of IUCN Red List data, practical application of IUCN Red List data which involves 5 steps (analysis and information, conservation planning & priority-setting, international conservation policy, inform private sector decision-making, education and awareness), IUCN Red List index and conservation works.

This just in ❗ Forest & Bird's CE Nicola Toki speaks to RNZ's Morning Report on Conservation Minister's Tama Potaka comment that it would cost hundreds-of-billions, maybe trillions, of dollars to save all native species in New Zealand from extinction – and that it may be more cost-effective to let species go extinct. The minister and the Government are not taking an evidence-based approach and looking at both sides of the ledger: "If this minister can't understand the basics of economics, which is, you invest strategically in an asset that delivers returns, you don't whittle it down to nothing, cross your fingers and shrug your shoulders – which is what governments over time have done. "Given the impact of biodiversity loss and climate change it's time to change that around and start investing [in te taiao nature]. "Right now, the Department of Conservation (DOC), which looks after a third of our country and guards the economic asset that if our tourism industry... right now, it's funded on less than the budget of the Christchurch City Council and that is a disgrace!"
