Floreana Giant Tortoise Returns to Galápagos Island After Nearly Two Centuries

158 Floreana giant tortoises are back on Galápagos' Floreana Island after nearly 200 years. This is to help restore the island's ecosystem.

A bit of hopeful environmental news: In Kosciuszko National Park, the reduction of thousands of feral horses has allowed fragile alpine ecosystems to begin recovering. Native plants are returning, wetlands are healing, and wildlife habitats are slowly being restored.
It's a meaningful reminder that with careful management and respect for balance, nature can regenerate. Good news for biodiversity and for future generations.

People making a difference! Through conscious and conscientious stewardship we can bring creatures back from the brink of extinction. This benefits them, us, and the entire ecosystems we are both a part of. Go humanity!

Participatory mapping (#PPGIS) has potential to foster socially inclusive #EcosystemRestoration. In our recent #PeopleNatureLandscapesBlog, Gaelle Ndayizeye showcases her experiences from a PPGIS study of how local farmers value Western Rwanda's restoration landscapes. https://medium.com/people-nature-landscapes/mapping-what-people-value-in-western-rwandas-restoration-landscapes-e2572b9c72ff

Norway’s Desert Control has introduced a breakthrough that sounds almost impossible. A technology known as Liquid NanoClay can transform dry sand into fertile soil in just seven hours.

By blending clay, water, and local soil, the mixture coats sand grains, allowing them to hold moisture and nutrients just like farmland. What normally takes decades through natural processes can now happen in less than a day.

Trials in the UAE and the U.S. have already shown promising results, proving that even deserts can be turned into green landscapes. This could reshape farming, protect against desert expansion, and secure food supplies for the future.

"...three corallivorous species – redband parrotfish, foureye butterflyfish and stoplight parrotfish – were responsible for eating more than 97% of coral laid" - OK, so maybe I'm not an ominvore

And a fascinating story:

#TasmanianDevils Return to Mainland #Australia After 3,000 Years – A Bold Plan to Restore the Wild https://indiandefencereview.com/tasmanian-devils-return-to-australia-3000/

"The return of Tasmanian devils is not just about species recovery—it’s about #EcosystemRestoration. As apex predators and scavengers, devils play a crucial role in maintaining balance. By preying on smaller #animals, they help control feral cats and foxes, which pose a severe threat to native species"

🌍 After a disappointing COP16 in Cali, major strides were made in Rome last week: 1️⃣ $200B/year biodiversity funding by 2030, with new private investment channels. 2️⃣ Enhanced monitoring with common tools to track progress on global biodiversity targets. 3️⃣ Launch of the Cali Fund, linking business use of genetic resources to funding for biodiversity projects. #Biodiversity2025 #ecosystemrestoration #KMGBF #UNCBD https://www.environewsnigeria.com/govts-agree-on-way-forward-to-mobilise-resources-needed-to-protect-biodiversity-for-people-planet/

The UK government has authorized the release of beavers into English waterways for the first time in centuries. These eco-engineers will help create wildlife habitats and reduce flooding.

I only just started this book and I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.

https://osupress.oregonstate.edu/book/indigenous-critical-reflections-on-traditional-ecological-knowledge

but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.

You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.

Volunteers have been hard at work in the polytunnel, propagating plants for saltmarsh restoration.
There will more opportunities to volunteer with Green Shores; saltmarsh restoration planting dates will be released soon for the Tay and Eden Estuaries

Beavers are emerging as unexpected allies in combating climate change. Their dam-building activities create wetlands that conserve water, support biodiversity, and mitigate drought impacts. By restoring beaver populations, we can enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable agriculture.
