Happy World Seagrass Day! Seagrasses are a haven for marine wildlife and biodiversity, as well as accounting for 10% of the ocean's carbon storage capacity. Seagrass restoration is key to mitigating against biodiversity loss and climate change. In Shark Bay, Western Australia, Indigenous rangers have developed a seagrass restoration program entwining traditional ecological knowledge and genetically informed science. The Malgana rangers are the custodians of Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and consider their cultural heritage to be preserved under large seagrass meadows. Ranger programs such as this benefit both seagrass restoration, as well as restoring a sense of belonging and reconnection among Malgana peoples to country, culture, and language.

Adélie penguins are a fascinating species native to Antarctica, feel free to connect with me Misbah Nadeem 💖👈 known for their distinctive black and white plumage and vibrant personalities. 🐧 They thrive on the icy coasts, where they are often seen running and enjoying their time on the rocky soil. This behavior is essential for their survival, as it allows them to navigate their breeding grounds, find food, and evade predators. ❄️ During the breeding season, Adélie penguins gather in large colonies, where they construct nests from pebbles. The males often engage in competitive displays, running across the rocky terrain to attract females. Their playful antics, including sliding on their bellies and engaging in social interactions, showcase their adaptability and social structure. 🎉 The importance of their habitat cannot be overstated; the health of their populations is closely tied to environmental conditions. 🌍 As climate change threatens their icy homes, understanding their behavior on land becomes crucial for conservation efforts. Protecting Adélie penguins is vital for maintaining the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem. 🌊 #AdeliePenguins #Antarctica #WildlifeConservation #ClimateChange #PenguinLove #EcosystemBalance

🌍🔍 Exploring the Secrets of the Tundra 🌨️❄️ The tundra, often perceived as a barren wasteland, holds remarkable tales of resilience and adaptation beneath its icy surface. This vast cold desert, revered in the languages of the indigenous Sami and Nenets, reveals a vibrant ecosystem that thrives in extreme conditions. During the fleeting summer, a stunning array of mosses, lichens, and low shrubs transform the landscape, creating a colorful mosaic. Delicate Arctic poppies bloom, and the industrious tundra bumblebee, Bombus polaris, brings life to this frigid realm. Beyond its flora, the tundra is a sanctuary for unique fauna, such as the Arctic fox and migratory birds like the snow bunting, highlighting nature's adaptability. Yet, as global temperatures rise, the permafrost unveils not only Earth's ancient secrets but also poses environmental challenges. Dive deeper into this enigmatic world and discover the delicate balance between life and climate in our latest article. 🌱📖 Read more: [the-secrets-of-the-tundra](https://lnkd.in/eKAfsimP) #Tundra #Ecosystems #ClimateChange #Nature #Biodiversity #Sustainability #EnvironmentalScience #Wildlife

Catch up on my latest episode of Climate Connections on the endangered primates of Mentawai Islands here: https://lnkd.in/gXSDHanm Follow Instagram page here: https://lnkd.in/gUjW_aX8 Through half a million years of isolation, #primates of the #Mentawai Islands evolved into five distinct species, totally different from their relatives on the nearest mainland, Sumatra. These endemic species include the pig-tailed snub-nosed langur, Mentawai gibbon, Mentawai langur, Pagai macaque, and Siberut macaque. Except for the last, the other four species are Critically Endangered or Endangered, as red-listed by the IUCN And with the #threat from #logging and clearing for oil palm and timber plantations growing, the survival of the forests of Mentawai and these primates is dimming. On this episode of Climate Connections, the very amazing Andie Ang , Head, Primate Conservation & Singapore Programmes, Mandai Nature and Professor Rizaldi, Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Andalas University share more details on their research into these endangered primates, and how they are developing a conservation plan to save them.

New Post: Parnassius apollo outside of Europe -The Parnassius apollo, commonly known as the Apollo butterfly, is predominantly found in Europe, particularly in mountainous regions. In the past there have been only occasional reports of sightings of this striking species of butterfly outside of Europe. However, these reports are not scientifically documented and confirmed, and are believed to be only amateur observations and descriptions. It is assumed that factors such as climate change, human activities and accidental introduction may contribute to their presence in regions outside Europe. However, it is important to note that these occurrences are uncommon and the Apollo butterfly thrives primarily within its native - https://lnkd.in/dejeZ9N9

Photo by @daisygilardini | Rockhopper penguins are named that because they don’t really walk or waddle as most penguin species do. Instead, they hop when on dry land, either by hopping on the beach or hopping rock faces to reach their colonies. Rockhoppers are one of the smaller penguin species. They live in the Subantarctic Islands in the south Atlantic, southern Indian Ocean and southern Pacific, as well as some of the offshore islands south of Argentina and Chile. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies rockhopper penguins as “vulnerable” on the organization’s Red List of endangered species. Climate change is believed to be the primary cause for the population’s decline. #Antarctica #falklandislands #falkland #malvinas #conservation #climatechange #sandiskprofessional #sandisk @Sandisk @sandiskprofessional #nikon #nikondack @nikon @nikondach #EIZO #EIZOUSA @EIZO @EIZOUSA

Penguins, those tuxedo-clad ambassadors of the Antarctic realms, capture our hearts with their waddling gaits and deep, soulful eyes. These flightless birds, adept swimmers navigating icy waters, are more than just icons of the Antarctic. They are vital to the marine food web, contributing to a robust ocean ecosystem. Their presence indicates the health of their habitat and, by extension, the health of our planet. #WorldPenguinDay is not just a celebration but a call to action, an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges penguins face: climate change, overfishing, and habitat destruction. These threats not only jeopardize penguins but also the larger environmental equilibrium. Supporting penguins is supporting the planet! Simple actions can make a significant difference: reducing our carbon footprint to combat climate change, advocating for sustainable fishing practices, and supporting conservation organizations working on the ground to protect penguin habitats. Here are 3 organizations employing diverse strategies, including community engagement, research, and innovative recovery methods, to safeguard penguin species globally. Global Penguin Society (GPS) - Focuses on habitat protection and sustainable community development. The Penguin Foundation - Supports little penguin conservation with initiatives like knitted jumpers for oil spill-affected birds. Oceanites - Uses data and science for Antarctic penguin conservation, informing international policy decisions.  Educating ourselves and others about the importance of these magnificent creatures and the challenges they face is a step toward their preservation. On World Penguin Day, let us renew our commitment to these charming ambassadors of the Antarctic, acknowledging their importance not just in their ecosystems, but as beacons of our environmental conscientiousness. By protecting them, we safeguard the intricate web of life that sustains our planet. #penguins #Antarctica #marineconservation #birdphotography
