  3. #SacramentoValley #Conservancy secures 265 acres to help build massive #WildlifeCorridor

    "Eastern Sacramento County's rolling hills and grasslands are home to dozens of #wildlife species, but more and more, their habitat is under threat by urban development.

    "Roughly 265 acres of green rolling hills in the area are the newest piece of property being set aside as part of a new multi-million-dollar effort to protect the land and its wildlife.

    "Steve Schweigerdt is with the Sacramento Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit trust that preserves land for conservation. The organization is using $2.7 million in state and federal grants to purchase an easement on the property known as the '#TudeskoRanch, which covers 265 acres and is currently used for cattle grazing.

    " 'We're super excited about it because it's a large property that's right on the edge of the urban growth boundary,' Schweigerdt said.

    "This newest land acquisition is part of a plan to create a 10,000-acre natural habitat corridor that runs from #Folsom to #RanchoMurieta and includes the #Cosumnes and #DeerCreek watersheds.

    " 'A lot of animals are migrating up and down to adapt to the different food sources that are occurring at different elevations,' Schweigerdt said.

    "Schweigerdt said the area is 'mostly open valley grassland' that features vernal pools and is an important habitat for birds.

    "Eastern Sacramento County is seeing rapid growth in areas that had previously been open space, with thousands of new homes being built near Folsom, Rancho Cordova and El Dorado Hills.

    " 'The grant source is set up so that farmers and ranchers can access this money, and they don't have to sell out to developers or other projects that are going to destroy their land,' Schweigerdt said."

  10. Acc/to Wiedenmann, #CoralReefs support a third of all #marine #biodiversity either directly or indirectly. “If the #corals die, this support structure that provides food & homes is lost. Consequently, many #species will suffer, as well,” he said. Acc/to a 2020 study, rising #sea surface #temperatures & acidic waters could eliminate nearly all surviving #coral #reef #habitats by 2100.

  12. …Beyond the loss of a thriving underwater #ecosystem, #coral death can degrade #reef structure & leave coastal communities vulnerable to #flooding hazards, acc/to USGS. In Florida, for example, #CoralReefs act as a natural buffer to #storm energy that can shield coastlines from destructive forces.

  14. Since the early 1980s, scientists say, #CoralBleaching events have increased in frequency & severity as the burning of #FossilFuels drives up the #planet’s #temperature. #NOAA documented the first global #coral bleaching event in 1998 & the second in 2010. During the previous global event, between 2014 and 2017, 68% of the world’s #CoralReefs experienced bleaching-level #heat stress.

  16. “The ongoing global #CoralBleaching event is the biggest to date,” #NOAA scientists said.

    Bleaching occurs when #heat upends the #coral’s metabolism, causing it to turn white as it expels the symbiotic algae that provide it with nutrients & color. Bleaching doesn’t mean the coral has died, but prolonged bleaching — which scientists say is made more frequent & severe by rising #sea #temperatures — can kill it.

  18. Largest #coral bleaching event on record harms 84% of #global #reefs
    
Bleached coral dies when exposed to #heat stress for too long, threatening the bountiful #marine #ecosystem that depends on it for survival.

    #CoralReefs around the world are losing their color at an unprecedented scale as a result of rising #sea #temperatures, marine scientists announced this week, w/ 84% of reefs exposed to bleaching levels of heat since 2023.
