- Biodiversity guides a large number of actions in our #SustainableException CSR roadmap: this week, we are putting them in the spotlight. 💚 - METAXA protects the birds of Samos ! The island of Samos, where The House of Metaxa sources its precious Muscat wine ingredient, boasts remarkable biodiversity. To preserve this precious natural heritage, a bird conservation and nature program has been set up, in partnership with the Hellenic Ornithological Society, particularly around the METAXA LIKNON vineyardand the Path of the Muscat vineyards hiking trail. What does this program involve? 🦅 Monitoring local and migratory bird species, with a focus on endangered species. Did you know that Samos is home to 80% of the world's population of Eleonora falcons? 🦅 Installation of nesting boxes, an insect hotel and bird feeding stations to promote biodiversity. 🦅 Raising awareness and educating local communities about the importance of bird conservation. This program, an inspiring example of harmonious coexistence between nature and man, is a testament to The House of Metaxa's commitment to protecting its unique terroir! #Biodiversity

🌿 Celebrating Biodiversity Month 🌿 An Eastern Spinebill nested upon our Alcantarea imperialis at the greenhouse. To highlight the incredible impact greenwalls and greenroof can have on biodiversity here are 4 important things you can to do contribute: 🌼 Habitat for Wildlife: Lush greenwalls and greenroofs provide a haven for birds, bees, butterflies, and even small critters but you can take it one step further with nesting boxes, water sources, dead logs to create homes for our native wildlife. 🌱 Native Plants and Diversity: Prioritise native plants in your installations that reflect the surrounding ecology, however, exotic diversity can still be important to provide all year-round food and habitat. 🐝 Support Pollinators: Have a balance of planting to support an all year-round food source for our pollinators and don't forget our birds. Bees are not the only sweet tooths. 🍃 Don't feel bad if it doesn't work out as planned: When trying to bring back biodiversity to an area it may tip too far in one direction. Like too many snails or too many ants, this is because there isn't a trophic cascade of life yet to keep things in check and balance. It may take some adjusting. Together, we can create greener, healthier, and more biodiverse urban landscapes. 🌆💚 #BiodiversityMonth #GreenwallImpact #UrbanEcosystems #SustainableLiving #TheGreenwallCompany #NatureInCities #GreenRoofs #BiodiversityConservation

📸 Explore the evidences captured by one of our hidden cameras in the heart of the Selva de Urundel project: the Crested Caracara. The crested caracara is a versatile bird species that can adapt to a wide range of habitats, from open plains to tropical forests. This species is found throughout Latin America, from Mexico and Central America to South America and the Caribbean islands. Its remarkable adaptability contributes to its widespread presence and success in various environments. In Argentina, the crested Caracara, also known as Carancho, can be observed in the Yungas forests, a true biodiversity haven. These forests provide crucial nesting sites and abundant food resources for this magnificent species. Through the use of hidden cameras, experts had the opportunity to collect valuable data on the behavior, habitat and distribution of this extraordinary bird. The conservation of Yungas forests and the implementation of targeted conservation strategies are therefore essential to ensure a sustainable future not only for the Crested Caracara, but also for the other species that depend on this unique and fascinating ecosystem. Dive into the world of the Crested Caracara in the following article: https://lnkd.in/dFqQ5pMw #CrestedCaracara #Yungas #REDD+ #SelvaDeUrundel #CarbonCredits

The story of the Orange River-Karoo region is one of ancient cultures and landscapes. The Orange River is vital for the Succulent Karoo, one of the world’s top 25 biodiversity hotspots. The Nama Karoo and Desert biomes intersect within the ORKCA landscape. Once a pristine habitat enabling the world’s largest animal migration of springbok Trekbokken, surpassing even the Serengeti’s ‘Great Migration’ of wildebeest. The springbok Trekbokken has experienced a significant decline in wildlife numbers due to non-regenerative land-use practices and the effects of climate change. The Nama people are the stewards of this land, and joined by today’s commercial farmers, we are seeking a conservation-based future which will restore the region to its former ecological diversity. #ConservationForChange #ProtectOurWildlife #EcologicalDiversity #ORKCA

Biodiversity credits can be a game-changer for businesses looking to showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship. They provide essential funding for preserving natural habitats and protecting endangered species, while also serving as a tangible metric for companies to disclose their environmental contributions. As sustainability becomes increasingly demanded by consumers, investors, and regulators, embracing biodiversity credits can lead by example and promote a culture of responsibility beyond #offset towards a more sustainable and responsible business model. #BiodiversityCredits #EnvironmentalStewardship #Sustainability Nat5 Sven Kallen Life Terra Foundation
🌿 Unlocking the Future of Conservation: The Power of Biodiversity Credits 🌿 In an era where environmental sustainability is no longer optional but imperative, an innovative financial mechanism is making waves in the realm of conservation and corporate responsibiliy: #BiodiversityCredits. These natural assets are not just a tool for financing #conservation efforts but also a transformative approach for companies to demonstrate their commitment to the planet and to disclose their contributions to #climateaction transparently. Biodiversity credits offer a dual benefit. Firstly, they provide essential funding for preserving and restoring natural habitats, which are crucial for biodiversity. By investing in these credits, companies play a direct role in protecting endangered species, maintaining ecosystems, and ensuring the health of our planet for future generations. Secondly, these credits serve as a tangible metric for businesses to showcase their environmental contributions. In an age where consumers, investors, and regulators increasingly demand sustainability, biodiversity credits enable companies to demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship. This is not about offsetting impacts but about taking proactive steps towards a more sustainable and responsible business model. The Finca Alía, Spain ecological restoration project, developed by Life Terra Foundation and certified by the #aOCP, marks a significant milestone in reducing habitat #fragmentation in the region. Thanks to its restoration activities, animal species are now able to roam through larger, more connected parcels of land. #Keystonespecies such as #Canislupus are expected to repopulate this region shortly. Individuals have already been sighted 100 km from the area. The Canis lupus plays a crucial ecological role as the top predator in the area, and its presence is vital for helping to control herbivore populations. The message is clear: biodiversity credits are more than a financial instrument; they are a call to action 🌿.

Ecosystem destination "amani nature reserve" The place brainwashes you as you walk along the nature trails,You can feel the fresh air and the voice of thousands of small birds. this is real hidden gem 👉The Amani Nature Reserve was created in 1997 to protect the East Usambara Mountains‘ distinctive flora and wildlife. The Usambara Mountains, both west and east, constitute a biodiversity hotspot. 👉This utopia is home to a multitude of endemic species, birds, reptiles, flora and fauna. Its unique habitat is due to the severity of the mountains here – from sea-level Tanga City on the coast of the Indian Ocean, come inland just 150 kilometers and the mountains rise rapidly to 950 meters above sea level. 👉 The wealth of species that call Usambara home include the Black-and-white colobus monkey, Jackson’s three-horned chameleon, the Flambo tree with its edible fruits and St Valencious – a tree that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. 👉the reserve has exceptional conservation values that include a rain forest, biological diversity, endemic, endangered and threatened flora and fauna, water catchment and soil conservation values. There are also historical sites and the famous Amani Botanical Garden without forgetting the ethical botanical values for local community #biodiversity #ecosystem #research #nature #reserves #trees #water #people #culture

Wilderlands CEO Ash Knop joined Jason Chong on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Evenings to discuss our partnership w/ Adelaide Festival. A huge thank you to Anthea Hagar for making this interview possible, it provided a chance to dive into the details of the partnership that will see the festival secure some of the world’s first voluntary biodiversity credits and provide a simple way for attendees to unlock their very own Wilderlands profile protecting a one square metre patch of precious biodiversity at the Coorong in the process. Entering the second year of the partnership, the collaboration has a collective goal of reaching a total of 5,000 square metres protected with attendees able to simply visit the Wilderlands website to claim their unit or use the QR code on signs at select Adelaide Festival and Writers’ Week events – to signup for free and secure their very own one square metre patch that will be protected. The Coorong Lakes property is such a special project due to the innovative partnership between the conservation organisation Cassinia Environmental and the Traditional Owners of the region, the Ngarrindjeri people, who are working together to preserve one of Australia’s most important wetland areas. It’s a project full of so much life with over 222 species of native plant recorded during our spring monitoring, with the noteworthy addition of Slender Smoke-bush (Conospermum patens), a species regarded as endangered under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It’s also home to incredible native orchid diversity with over 30 species recently recorded including the world’s largest known populations (on private land) of the nationally endangered Metallic Sun-orchid (Thelymitra epipactoides) – one of Australia’s largest and most impressive sun-orchids. The opportunity to expose the people of Adelaide to this gem of nature so close to their doorstep and create a simple way to protect it, forever, makes this a very special collaboration. Learn more about the ways you can take action as part of this campaign via the article below. https://lnkd.in/eC2mCJEQ #Biodiversity #Conservation

On Lesotho's Biodiversity(Mammals and birds) Encounters in the Mountain Kingdom By:Suping Makoaela There is a growing concern of Lesotho's biodiversity loss cited in many instances. Though it sparks controversy our country is part of international organisations that aims in conversation of the biodiversity e.g GEF, UNEP etc. Someone might be too lazy to grab a dictionary, what is biodiversity? The term biodiversity refers to the number and variability existing among living organisms and life supporting systems found in the living world. (McNeely et al., 1990) It is therefore necessary to aid in mitigation of biodiversity loss and sustainable use of it. In Lesotho we employ cavemen traits,well, when it comes to animals. Imagine the number of animals that we know by name but not in existence. Because it is common of us to go hunting and feed on wild animals, this led to total extinction and have put other animals on endangered specie list. Fearing huntsmen our animals specie seek asylum in neighbouring South Africa where it's their safe haven since they impose heavy penalties on huntsmen. Some animals such as, Blue Antelope is known from archaeological deposits within Lesotho( Mitchell, 1993) as well as rock paintings within the former boundaries of South Africa. ( Loubser, Brink and Lauren 1992) It is fashionable for Basotho to visit zoos in Bloemfotein to see animals like zebras and monkeys yet we once had them as our own but let to their own extinction. Species like Qugga(Sesotho; qoaha) would make a very good tourist attraction since they were endemic to southern Africa. This member of the zebra family was common in the western Lesotho in the early nineteenth century (Arbousset, 1842; Casalis 1884) which cannot be traced in Lesotho and entire southern Africa at the present moment because we cannot live in harmony with nature. #conservationmatters #visitLesotho
