#nature-conservation — Public Fediverse posts

Beside the nature house, there's a short trail that leads to the gazebo/outdoor classroom area. It's a nice spot to have a picnic in the shade, when there's not educational programs happening because it has seating & a table.
The #WheelchairPath / #AccessibleTrail is on the left. The native plant garden trail is on the right (not an accessible trail for wheelchair users). You can see plenty of native plants & trees along the accessible trail though.

#SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

World Migratory Bird Day

Dopo aver raccontato questa affascinante ricorrenza

Giornata mondiale degli uccelli migratori🐦

torniamo a parlare della World Migratory Bird Day – Giornata Mondiale degli Uccelli Migratori, che nel 2026 cade sabato 9 maggio, come sempre nel secondo sabato di maggio. Ma quest’anno porta con sé un messaggio ancora più coinvolgente e attuale…

🌍 Cos’è (e perché continua a emozionare)

È una campagna globale sostenuta anche dalle Nazioni Unite per sensibilizzare sulla tutela degli uccelli migratori e dei loro habitat. Questi straordinari viaggiatori attraversano continenti, oceani e città, ricordandoci che la natura non ha confini. E proprio per questo la loro protezione è una responsabilità condivisa.

📅 La particolarità della doppia data

Forse non tutti lo sanno (perfetto da aggiungere!):
la giornata si celebra due volte l’anno:

• secondo sabato di maggio (migrazione verso i siti di nidificazione)
• secondo sabato di ottobre (ritorno verso le aree di svernamento)

Un modo poetico per seguire il ritmo naturale delle migrazioni nel mondo.

✨ Novità 2026: “Every Bird Counts”

Il tema 2026 è: “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!” (Ogni uccello conta – Le tue osservazioni sono importanti!)

Un invito diretto a tutti noi: anche una semplice osservazione può diventare un dato prezioso per la scienza.

👉 Grande protagonista è infatti la citizen science (scienza partecipata), cioè il contributo delle persone comuni nel monitorare e proteggere gli uccelli migratori.

🔎 Un anniversario speciale

Il 2026 coincide anche con un traguardo importante: 60 anni dell’International Waterbird Census, uno dei più grandi programmi globali di monitoraggio degli uccelli acquatici. Un dettaglio che rende questa edizione ancora più significativa!

💡 Come partecipare (anche in modo chic!)

Non serve essere esperti birdwatcher:

• una passeggiata nella natura 👣
• una foto condivisa 📸
• un’osservazione registrata online

possono contribuire davvero alla conservazione della biodiversità.

🕊️ Un piccolo gesto, un grande viaggio

Se nel articolo precedente si è raccontato il valore simbolico e naturale della giornata, il 2026 aggiunge un tassello importante: ognuno di noi può fare la differenza.

Perché, proprio come gli uccelli migratori ci insegnano… anche il viaggio più lungo inizia da un piccolo battito d’ali. 💫

According to recent publications of the European Environment Agency, Europe is facing accelerating #climatechange and #biodiversity loss. At this critical moment, we cannot afford to weaken the European Union’s only programme exclusively dedicated to #environment, #climate action and #natureconservation.

67% of Nova Scotians want more protected areas. This comes as Tim Houston breaks terms of the Nature Fund Agreement NS has with the Federal agreement, lays off conservation staff and starts talking about fracking and uranium mining.

I've started hearing lifelong conservatives muttering and shaking their head at the mention of his name.

Early morning is feeding time. The mother sparrow is actively searching for insects and soft food, many of which are not even visible to us. This is nature at its best.

Greece tests eco-moorings to protect Mediterranean Posidonia seagrass.

New anchoring systems designed to protect Posidonia seagrass meadows – one of the Mediterranean’s most important yet fragile marine ecosystems – are being tested near Athens.

Posidonia seagrass is a key Mediterranean habitat that stores carbon, filters seawater and supports marine life.

Ever wondered what an environmental expert actually does? 🌿🏗️

I've used #NotebookLM to create an AI-generated deep dive into my professional work at #AgroNatura. It’s a fascinating look at the intersection of nature conservation and construction projects.

Heute werfen wir den Blick über die Landesgrenze zu unseren Freunden aus GB. Dort wurde 1983 von Libellenkundigen die British Dragonfly Society (BDS) gegründet. Heute hat sie ca. 1800 Mitglieder. 2mal im Jahr veröffentlichen sie ihr Journal. Schaut gern vorbei: https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/, https://www.instagram.com/britishdragonflysociety/

Esto es muy grande!!!

The government of Galicia (Spain) just canceled the authorization of the *huge* industrial cellulose plant Altri! This is the result of continuous mobilizations by the local communities and environmentalists from the whole country.

A huge win! :ecoanarchism_heart:
