#Africa - #Rewilding To Restore #Ecosystems
Restoring #ecosystems to benefit #wildlife and human communities
"Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of ecosystems to a point where nature can take care of itself. This approach aims to reinstate natural processes and, where appropriate, responsibly reintroduce ‘extirpated’ (meaning locally extinct) species. These key species are not only crucial to shaping their landscapes and habitats, but also provide essential ecosystem services.
"In Africa, human activities such as #agriculture, #urbanisation, and #deforestation have significantly altered natural landscapes, leading to habitat loss and species decline. African Parks and its partners seek to reverse these trends by reintroducing keystone species – in other words, species that play critical roles in maintaining the structure and function of these ecosystems. Such rewilding efforts also address the urgent need to mitigate climate change. Intact and fully-functioning ecosystems, such as forests and wetlands, act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and helping to regulate the global climate. Additionally, rewilding can enhance ecosystem services such as water purification, soil fertility, and #pollination, which are essential for human wellbeing."

Blue-streaked Lory Eos reticulata
Blue-streaked Lory Eos reticulata
Blue-streaked Lory Eos reticulata
IUCN Status: Near Threatened
Location: The Blue-streaked Lory is endemic to the Banda Sea Islands in Indonesia, primarily found on the Tanimbar Islands, including Yamdena and Larat, with possible populations on Babar. Small numbers recorded on Damar, Kai Kecil, and Kai Kesar Islands are believed to be introduced populations (BirdLife International, 2019).
Brilliantly coloured and full of energy, the Blue-streaked Lory (Eos reticulata) is a striking and unique #parrot living in the forests of the Banda Sea Islands, #Indonesia. Their scarlet plumage is decorated with iridescent blue streaks, creating a dazzling and electrifying colours both when they’re at rest and in flight. With a sharp, hooked beak adapted for nectar-feeding, these #birds flit from flower to flower, playing a vital role in rainforest #pollination.
Despite their adaptability, habitat destruction and the pet trade threaten their survival. These birds have been heavily trapped for the illegal bird trade, with over 3,000 individuals captured annually in the 1980s. Although they remain relatively common in their range, continued #deforestation and capture for the caged #pettrade and bird market may be pushing them towards decline. If these mesmerising lories are to have a future in the wild, their habitat must be protected, and the demand for keeping them as pets must end. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterAppearance & Behaviour
The Blue-streaked Lory is a medium-sized #bird, reaching 31 cm in length. Their body is covered in a vivid red plumage, contrasting with iridescent blue streaks on the head and back. Their beak is bright orange, and their eyes gleam with preternatural intelligence. Their long tail feathers taper to fine points, creating an elegant silhouette at rest and in flight.
These lories have a brush-tipped tongue, specially adapted to collect nectar and pollen from flowers. They are highly social, forming loud, chattering flocks that dart through the forest canopy in search of food. When alarmed, their sharp, shrill calls echo through the trees, alerting others to danger.
Threats
Protecting these birds means stopping the pet trade and preserving their native forests.
Trapping for the illegal bird trade
Over 3,000 individuals were taken from the wild each year in the 1980s, leading to concerns about population decline (BirdLife International, 2019). While still relatively common, trapping remains a threat, with birds being exported or kept as pets in local villages.
Habitat destruction for palm oil and timber
Deforestation for palm oil agriculture, logging, and infrastructure projects continues to shrink their rainforest home. Although they can survive in secondary forests and plantations, further destruction could push them towards more rapid declines (Tracewski et al., 2016).
Climate change
Extreme temperature and rainfall changes as a result of climate change impact the availability of food for many bird species and have flow-on effects impacting other animals in their ecosystem.
Geographic Range
The Blue-streaked Lory is native to the Banda Sea Islands in Indonesia, particularly Yamdena and Larat in the Tanimbar Islands. Possible populations exist on Babar Island, but sightings on Damar, Kai Kecil, and Kai Kesar are likely due to human introduction (BirdLife International, 2019).
Diet
The Blue-streaked Lory is a nectarivore, primarily feeding on the nectar and pollen of forest flowers. Their specialised brush-tipped tongues allow them to extract nectar efficiently. In addition to flowers, they consume soft fruits, berries, and seeds.
They play a crucial role in pollination, transferring pollen between flowers as they feed, ensuring the survival of many rainforest plant species.
Mating and Reproduction
These lories form strong monogamous pairs and are highly territorial during breeding. They nest in tree hollows, often competing with other parrot species like Tanimbar Corellas (Cacatua goffiniana) and Eclectus Parrots (Eclectus roratus) for nesting sites (Haryoko et al., 2021).
During breeding, pairs work together to defend their territory, with the female laying 2–3 eggs, which she incubates while the male provides food. The chicks hatch after 24–26 days and fledge in about two months.
FAQs
What is the status of the Blue-streaked Lory?
The Blue-streaked Lory is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. While still relatively common in its range, habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade continue to pose threats to their survival (BirdLife International, 2019).
Why is the Blue-streaked Lory threatened?
This species is trapped for the illegal bird trade and faces habitat destruction due to deforestation. In the 1980s, over 3,000 individuals were taken from the wild each year. Although trapping rates have declined, continued loss of forests and poaching threaten their populations.
What is the Blue-streaked Lory’s habitat?
These lories inhabit tropical rainforests, but they are adaptable and can also be found in secondary forests, plantations, and coastal woodlands. However, continued deforestation and logging threaten their remaining habitat.
What does the Blue-streaked Lory eat?
They primarily consume nectar and pollen, using their specialised brush-tipped tongues to collect food from flowers. They also eat soft fruits, berries, and seeds, playing a crucial role as pollinators in their ecosystem.
How do Blue-streaked Lories breed?
They are monogamous, forming lifelong pairs. They nest in tree cavities, often competing with other parrots for nesting space. The female lays 2–3 eggs, incubating them while the male provides food. Chicks hatch after 24–26 days and fledge in about two months.
Would the Blue-streaked Lory make a good pet?
No. Keeping a Blue-streaked Lory as a pet is deeply unethical. These birds are wild animals, not domestic pets. They are highly social, need large forests to thrive, and suffer terribly in captivity. Many parrots taken from the wild die from stress, malnutrition, or improper care. By refusing to buy or keep wild birds as pets, you help protect them from extinction.
How much does a Blue-streaked Lory cost?
The true cost of keeping a Blue-streaked Lory is the destruction of their species. While poachers may place a monetary value on them, their real worth is in their role as pollinators and as a vital part of their ecosystem. Trapping these birds drives them towards extinction. Instead of buying one, take action to protect their wild habitats and end the bird trade.

Excerpt from "How to make your yard a friendlier place for #pollinators"
#Pollination doesn't only produce more plants – it also helps make fruits and vegetables larger, more abundant, and even more flavorful.
by Abby Jackson, January 22, 2024
The Cool Down [#US-based publication]How to Support Pollinators in Your Yard
"Plants are the foundation for every living thing on our planet, and without pollination, plants would be unable to reproduce and our food supply would be at risk.
"Here are a few things you can do to support their safety and protect our food resources for years to come:
- Avoid #pesticides, #herbicides, and synthetic #fertilizers as much as possible.
- Choose flowering plants that produce pollen and nectar, that are native to your area, and that support a variety of pollinators. Avoid hybrid plant varieties, as they've been bred specifically for aesthetics and may have unattractive nectar.
- You can use the #NationalWildlifeFederation's #NativePlant finder to discover plants in your area that attract pollinators. The #AudubonSociety has a similar search that identifies native plants in your area that attract birds.
- Follow seasonal changes and diversify your yard with plants that bloom at different times of the year for year-round blooms.
- Remove #InvasivePlants and weeds when possible.
- Provide a hydration station. Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals. Filling a shallow bowl with pebbles or marbles to a low water level will allow pollinators to drink while sitting on a perch. [I do create "bee baths" with marbles and rocks. I will be very cautious if I decide to provide "bird baths" this summer]
- Provide nesting sides, like a #BeeHouse. [Old logs can be good for some bees]
- Use certain plants strictly as food for the larvae of pollinators to ensure they will have enough energy to grow and frequent your yard. For example, #MonarchCaterpillars [and #TussockMothLarvae] love to eat #milkweed, and #BlackSwallowtailCaterpillars feed on #parsley [I did not know this! I will provide some parsley for their consumption this year!]
"#Rewilding your yard with native plants and #clovers, designating a garden bed to attract pollinators, or even having a pollinator-friendly plant in a pot on your #balcony are other ways you can make your area a friendlier space for pollinators.
"Any action that helps pollinators is a positive action that benefits you and the animals and nature around you."

#CandelariaNaturePreserve celebrates four years of restoration
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration."
by Emmett Di Mauro and Elijah Ritch
February 7, 2025"On Jan. 31, the Candelaria Nature Preserve in #Albuquerque hosted a tour of its ongoing #rewilding project. The public tours are given on the last Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and cover the preserve’s efforts to restore the 90 acres of former farmland in the North Valley, according to the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District website.
"Partnering with the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District provides an annual report on some goals for the Candelaria Nature Preserve, including plans for soil health. The project is in the fourth year of its 20-year span. The 2023 report can be found on its website.
"The guided tours are led by volunteers from the Friends of the Candelaria Nature Preserve, like Ruth Salvaggio.
"'What we’re showing here is restoration,' Salvaggio said.
"One example of this restoration is the addition of logs, which were brought in to create habitat, Salvaggio said. This invites #wildlife to make use of the land again. She also said the nature preserve planted several varieties of plant life for #butterflies and created an entire field dedicated to #pollination.
"The process of rewilding at the Candelaria Nature Preserve entails “transitioning the Preserve from non-sustainable agriculture to a mosaic of habitats that will support diverse native wildlife: wet and dry areas, hedgerows, grasslands, upland #shrublands, #ConservationBuffers, and #forage for wildlife,' according to the Friends of Candelaria Nature Preserve’s website.
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration. The workers carefully considered the place of certain #InvasiveSpecies, such as #ElmTrees.
"'They provide a canopy for birds,' Salvaggio said. 'They’re serving a purpose.'
"However, part of the project is to prevent new elms from growing, according to Salvaggio.
"#Teff, a type of grass native to Ethiopia and similar to #millet and#quinoa, was implemented in the preserve. Teff roots are shallow and the plant dies upon releasing its seeds, meaning teff is beneficial to the soil, Salvaggio said. In this way, teff acts as a natural mulch and a '#NurseCrop' that will support native plants in the future.
"Many #NativePlants are found in the preserve, too, including #amaranth, #BlueGrama, #sacaton, #mesquite, #saltbrush and #nightshade.
"One of the destinations on the tour was the nursery, where many native plants begin their lives. Later, they are taken and planted in select areas, including the mosaics — plots designed to be flooded — Salvaggio said. Dispersed wildlife such as #Mesquitetrees and #SacatonGrass grows in these areas.
"The work takes place on plots of former farmland separated by historic #acequias. An end goal is to meld the former farm plot zones to allow for the cohesive spread of the wildlife and return the land to its pre-farmed state, Salvaggio said.
"Bringing the land to its #PreFarmed state also includes careful land #terraforming in select areas, Salvaggio said. This is meant to carve out the original, natural #arroyos of the area.
"The guided tours are currently the only way for members of the public to see the Candelaria Nature Preserve. However, anyone can volunteer at the preserve from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Monday and Friday."

We’ve had these ants (Black-backed Meadow Ants, I think) in the garden for couple years now. The workers seem to be larger than last year, I guess they’re doing well 🐜. Ants often get bad rep in #gardening, but we never had any issues with these, all the berry plants around them are as productive as ever and here they even seem to maybe be getting in on #pollination

Bougainville Monkey-faced Bat Pteralopex anceps
Bougainville Monkey-faced Bat Pteralopex anceps
Red List Status: Endangered
Extant (resident): Papua New Guinea; Solomon Islands
In the verdant, high-altitude forests of Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and Choiseul Island, Solomon Islands, lives an intriguing creature—the Bougainville Monkey-faced bat or, as some call them, the Bougainville Flying Monkey. These bats are the titans of their family, boasting arm spans stretching impressively between 14.1 to 16 cm. They are endangered, mostly from palm oil and gold mining deforestation and hunting. Help them to survive every time you shop and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

During the night time, their captivating eyes that glow red or orange under the night sky, much like their kin.
They wear a mantle of thick, black fur that shrouds their heads and backs, whilst a contrasting splash of white or yellow graces their chests, making them a sight to behold. Unlike their relatives, the Guadalcanal Monkey-faced bats, their legs are enshrouded with a full coat of fur. During the night time, their captivating eyes that glow red or orange under the night sky, much like their kin. Tailless and intriguingly equal in size whether male or female, these bats certainly stand out in the animal kingdom.
Threats
Habitat Destruction:
- Bougainville Monkey-faced bats predominantly depend on mature, upland forests.
- Significant habitat destruction from agricultural activities and forest conversion.
Hunting Pressures
- They are regularly hunted for bushmeat: Hunting practices often involve burning the bats’ roosting trees, thereby destroying their habitats.
- Increased hunting pressure was partly due to civil tensions in Bougainville from 1987 to 2000.
Population Decline:
- Bougainville Monkey-faced bats were feared extinct in 1992 due to a lack of sightings.
- Tragically, their population is estimated to have declined by at least 50% from 1997-2017.
- Despite suggestions for a captive breeding program in 1992 to curb population decline, no such program exists as of 2017.
Conservation Efforts:
Bougainville Monkey-faced bats are listed as an Endangered species on the IUCN Red List. Bat Conservation International included them in its worldwide priority list for conservation in 2013.
Conservation strategies involve collaborations with local communities and organisations, identifying alternative protein sources, reforestation, managing conflicts between the bats and farmers, and promoting conservation dialogue.
Habitat
Found high above sea level in cloud forests over 1,100 metres, the Bougainville Monkey-faced bat enjoys the tranquillity and freshness of higher altitudes. After vanishing from sight on Bougainville Island since 1968, they made a surprise reappearance in 2016. On Choiseul Island, though, they’ve been conspicuously absent since 2008. These bats have a penchant for mature, highland tropical forests and aren’t picky about roosting spots, be it in hollow trees or hanging off fig tree branches. There’s even talk about these bats gouging trees for sap—a unique adaptation indeed!
Diet
While the exact diet of these bats remains a mystery, the significant wear on the teeth of museum specimens provides a clue. This condition points to the possibility of them consuming hard, rough-textured fruits.
Mating and breeding
Many aspects of the biology and behaviour of this bat, like many other megabats, remain understudied due to their inaccessible habitats and their elusive, secretive natures.

Over 200 #MigratoryBird species endangered by #ExtremeWeather
Dec 8, 2023
By Imogen Howse via SWNSMore than 200 migratory bird species are endangered by extreme weather events such as #cyclones and #droughts, according to a new report.
And the situation is only set to worsen with #ClimateChange, say scientists.
The new study, by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), highlights the extent to which migratory birds – such as #eagles, #cranes, #swifts, #buzzards, and #nightjars – are impacted by cyclones and droughts.
These extreme weather events lessen the already tight windows of opportunity for migration, threatening both the lives of birds and their ability to carry out tasks that benefit the world’s #ecosystems – such as #PestControl and plant #pollination.
Research indicates that events like cyclones and droughts will only increase in frequency and severity as the planet’s temperatures continue to rise, meaning conservation efforts are essential if migratory birds are to survive.
The study found that 182 migratory bird species were ‘highly exposed’ to either cyclones or droughts in either their breeding or wintering ranges, while an additional 67 migratory bird species were ‘highly exposed’ to both weather events in a singular range.
Cranes, #crakes, rails, and nightjars were most exposed to cyclones, while #hawks, eagles, v#ultures, and #kites were most exposed to droughts.
The eastern #whippoorwill (a North American nightjar) and the grey-faced #buzzard (one of the only raptors to migrate over the ocean, traveling from Japan and Korea to southeast Asia) are particularly exposed to both weather events.
This is not only dangerous for the birds themselves but also for the planet, as migration also functions as a way to keep the ecosystem healthy.
Meanwhile, species such as the common swifts – often seen soaring across the British skies in spring and summer – provide insect control and crop protection, both in their breeding grounds in #Europe and #Asia and in their wintering grounds in #Africa.
Senior author Professor Nathalie Pettorelli, from ZSL’s Institute of Zoology, said: “We cannot ignore how important migration is for #GlobalEcosystem health.
“These birds travel huge distances every year to raise chicks and survive the colder months, connecting ecosystems across the world.
“They provide vital ecosystem benefits including pest control and pollination of plants, while sometimes acting as key food sources for local wildlife.
“These birds are also a source of delight for millions of bird watchers and enthusiasts around the world – and many species that we are used to seeing here in the UK, such as #Swifts, #PiedFlycatchers, and #HouseMartins, are already being exposed to these extreme events.”
Lead author Rhys Preston Allen, a former student at ZSL’s Institute of Zoology who is now doing his PhD at Imperial College London, added: “We are already seeing worrying declines in migratory species populations around the world.
“Migration is a vital survival strategy that evolved because the benefits - such as increased food availability - outweighed the costs.
“Unfortunately, this balance is shifting under escalating pressures from climate change and other threats, leading to less predictable ‘windows of opportunity’ along birds’ migratory routes.
“This trend not only endangers the bird species involved, but also threatens the entire global network of ecosystems reliant on their migrations.”
Dr. Henry Häkkinen, study co-author and researcher at ZSL, argued that this starts with a greater understanding of the threats birds are facing – pointing to the fact that, while the study identifies a significant number of species exposed to cyclones and droughts, only 28 are currently listed as threatened by these events.
He explained: “Extreme weather events such as cyclones and droughts aren’t always factored into extinction risk assessments – but our work shows they must be.
“The Red List is vital for guiding conservation, and as our understanding of the threats wildlife face grows, our assessments of their extinction risk must adapt to ensure we don't miss vital windows for action.”
Meanwhile, Professor Pettorelli emphasized the need for nations to work together to address global warming.
She said: “World leaders are currently in Dubai to discuss the action needed to tackle climate change.
“The biodiversity and climate change crises are two sides of the same coin.
“Not only is it imperative we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avoid climate chaos and protect people and wildlife, but it is also essential that decision-makers champion nature and healthy, functioning ecosystems as key players for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
“In the fight against climate change, humans and wildlife are allies.
“We need action now: the road to a sustainable future where humans and wildlife thrive is clear; all we need is the political will to get us there.”
