  8. Scientists Could Soon Lose a Key Tool For Studying Antarctica’s Melting Ice Sheets As Climate Risks Grow

    James Yungel / NASA file This summer, the U.S. and much of the world have been pummeled by floods, fires and heat waves. Knowing what climate risks come next depends, to a large extent, on what happens in the most desolate place on Earth: Antarctica. But there’s a new obstacle to understanding the changing continent and how it’s affecting weather patterns throughout the world. National Science Foundation plans to decommission its only research icebreaker, the RVIB Nathaniel B. […]

  11. A good primer on #WildlifeCorridors from #EcologyNet.

    #Ecology101 - #Wildlife corridors

    By admin - December 17, 2025 608

    "In an increasingly human-dominated world, the natural landscapes that once stretched unbroken for miles are now often fragmented, carved up by roads, cities, and agricultural fields. This #fragmentation creates isolated 'islands' of habitat, trapping wildlife populations and threatening their long-term survival. Imagine a vibrant ecosystem, bustling with diverse life, suddenly cut into pieces. This is the challenge that wildlife corridors seek to address, offering a lifeline to nature by re-stitching the fabric of our planet.

    The Urgent Need for Connectivity

    Habitat fragmentation is a silent crisis, severing the vital connections that allow species to thrive. When large natural areas are broken into smaller, isolated patches, animals find themselves confined. This confinement leads to several critical problems:

    - Limited Resources: Smaller areas mean fewer food sources, less water, and reduced shelter, especially during seasonal changes.
    - Increased Vulnerability: Isolated populations are more susceptible to local extinction from disease, natural disasters, or even random events. A single wildfire or severe storm could wipe out an entire population.
    - Genetic Isolation: Perhaps the most insidious threat is the loss of genetic diversity. Without the ability to move and breed with individuals from other populations, species become inbred, weakening their resilience to environmental changes and diseases.

    Wildlife corridors emerge as a powerful solution to these challenges. They are essentially pathways of habitat that connect otherwise isolated natural areas, allowing animals to move safely between them. These connections are crucial for maintaining healthy, robust ecosystems."

  12. #SouthAmerica’s First Continental #WildlifeCorridor

    By: Tompkins Conservation, October 9, 2025

    "The #JaguarRiversInitiative is the first multi-country effort to create a massive wildlife corridor in the heart of South America. Uniting successful grassroots nonprofits in #Argentina, #Bolivia, #Brazil, and #Paraguay, the initiative will restore #ecosystems, bring back #KeySpecies, and develop #NatureBasedEconomies in a new cross-border model that addresses the mass #ExtinctionCrisis and climate instability on a global scale.

    "In a groundbreaking announcement during #ClimateWeek in September [2025], an alliance of grassroots South American nonprofits launched South America’s largest continental-scale rewilding endeavor. The Jaguar Rivers Initiative plans to reconnect #FragmentedEcosystems across the vast #ParanáBasin using #RiverCorridors as the connective tissue. 'We all know the urgency of the #biodiversity and climate crises,' said Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation. 'This bold initiative underlines the need for coordinated, large-scale action before it’s too late. I’d call it a lifeline to our planet.'

    "South America is in the midst of an unparalleled ecological crisis. #Wildlife populations across the region have declined by 94 percent since 1970—the steepest drop in the world. The drivers of this collapse—#deforestation, river degradation, #fragmentation, fire, and #overexploitation—are intensifying in the face of #ClimateChange.

    "The Jaguar Rivers Initiative will restore, protect, and connect #ecosystems throughout the heart of South America, covering nearly one million square miles, an area almost twice the size of Alaska. According to Deli Saavedra, the director of the initiative, 'We’re undertaking a very strategic act to safeguard one of the largest river systems in the world. By restoring its ecological integrity, diverse species and communities currently under threat in four countries have the opportunity to thrive, using a model of nature restoration combined with regenerative economies that has been tested and proven successful in places like the #BrazilianPantanal and the #IberáWetlands of #Argentina.'

    The initiative will be centered around four pillars:

    • Arks: Large intact ecosystems with keystone species, restored and rewilded to become sources of wildlife dispersal.

    #BufferAreas: Surrounding zones where restorative economies promote coexistence and extend protection.

    • Stepping Stones: Smaller wildlife refuges along corridors, often private reserves, that enable safe dispersal and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

    #Rivers and #Floodplains: Vital corridors for connectivity, requiring healthy ecological flows; safeguarded through citizen guardianship, monitoring, and strong policies."

  13. #Florida's #WildlifeCorridor Is Turning Five!

    #LiveWildly Celebrates with a New Interactive Map Showing How Greater Conservation Inside the Corridor Can Bring Billions in Benefits

    Press Release • Jul 1, 2026

    Nearly half-a-million acres of the Corridor's lands and waters have been protected since 2021 - but much more is needed

    Excerpt: " 'The story of the Wildlife Corridor is still being written,' said Meredith Budd, Deputy Director of the Live Wildly Foundation. 'In just five years, the impact of the Corridor is already being felt by communities across Florida. But much more can - and must - be done to ensure future generations will continue to benefit from the Corridor's vibrant lands, waters and #wildlife.'

    "More than 8 million acres of 'opportunity areas' - healthy lands and waters threatened by #fragmentation and #UnsustainableDevelopment - lie within the #WildlifeCorridor. Through the interactive map, users can identify opportunity areas such as:

    - More than 2 million acres of land that recharge aquifers that store and filter water

    - Some 3.4 million acres of floodplains that absorb and slow the spread of flood waters, helping shield communities for disasters

    - 5 million acres of lakes, rivers and other surface water areas that support communities, wildlife, recreation and businesses

    - More than 5 million acres of farms, ranchlands, timberlands and other working lands.

    "Florida's Wildlife Corridor is a network of connected lands and waters that spans 18 million acres from the #Panhandle to the #Everglades. It supports 114,000 jobs and generates $30 billion in annual revenue through recreation, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and other industries. The Corridor also is home to nearly half of Florida's species - including #manatees, #GopherTortoise, #BurrowingOwl, and the #FloridaPanther."

  14. Reconnecting the Wild #Midwest

    Explore how #TNC is rebuilding connections between habitats to help #MidwestWildlife—and people—thrive in a changing climate

    Published March 02, 2026

    "Wildlife needs room to roam, and the Midwest is full of amazing habitats—such as forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers—that aren’t connected, leaving wildlife stuck and struggling. That's why TNC is linking forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers across the Midwest so wildlife can move, adapt and thrive.

    "What Is a Wildlife Corridor? Why Are They Important?

    "#Habitat Crridors can be interconnected land-based environments, such as #forests and #prairies, as well as #rivers and other freshwater passages that allow aquatic species to move freely. These healthy, #biodiverse areas are beneficial for people too, as they can help reduce flood risk to communities and provide more recreational opportunities in nature.

    "However, the Midwest region is highly fragmented. #Habitats are subdivided across different landowners, and many are highly degraded.

    "To address this, TNC serves as our own type of corridor, coordinating protection and #stewardship efforts across properties owned by many different partners. Through these collaborations, we help secure funding to connect science with #conservation on the ground and in the water.

    "Our work includes large-scale #HabitatRestoration projects that create and improve pathways, like our #CoastalRepair efforts in #SanduskyBay, #DamRemoval efforts in Southern #Indiana and our prescribed fire work in Southern #Illinois."

  21. 📰 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY

    🌍 Mozambique: A community-led effort to stop devastating seahorse harvesting has been successful.

    💰 The effort had to overcome a high economic motivation to pull and dry the regulated fish illegally for the black market. The rate of extraction was projected to eliminate all seahorses within a decade.

    🤿 The solution involved creating an alternative: community-led, seahorse-focused ecotourism. Former extractors now take visitors on easy, low-impact snorkeling tours through seagrass.

    💪 The community protects the seahorses now as central to their livelihood.

  24. Feeding birds in the UK?

    The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has issued new guidance to avoid spreading disease.

    ✋ Simply put, pause feeding any seeds or peanuts between 1 May and 31 October.

    🌻 Also consider bird-friendly planting to provide natural food sources, such as sunflowers, teasels, and ivy.

    🚨 The cause of an outbreak of a mysterious and deadly disease in finches in British gardens in 2005 has finally been determined by conservationists.

  26. #Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development

    #LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.

    by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026

    "At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.

    "The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.

    "The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.

    " 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

He never interacted with them in as I observed almost a week. He was limping all alone. Injured probably either while defending his territory or while occupying one. I hope to see him again soon. #liontailedmacaque #primates #nature #rainforest #rainforestconservation #wildlifeconservation #wildlife
