📰 Volunteers Help Track Sea Turtle Hatching Success

🌎 Outer Banks, NC: Protecting sea turtles continues after hatchlings reach the ocean. Trained volunteers with N.E.S.T. return to nests about 72 hours after the last hatchling emerges to carefully excavate and study the nest.

🐢🥚 During excavations, volunteers count eggs, eggshells, unhatched eggs, and any remaining hatchlings. This data helps conservationists measure hatching and emergence success and estimate how many hatchlings successfully left the nest.

🔍 The effort can also document rare genetic conditions and verify nest relocation outcomes. Any live hatchlings found are safely released to continue their journey to the sea.

🤝 The information collected helps scientists monitor nesting success and strengthen sea turtle conservation efforts along North Carolina’s coast.

📰 Ferret-Free Island Secures Native Wildlife Comeback

🌴 Ireland: Conservation teams achieved a world first by fully removing invasive ferrets from a remote island, a breakthrough years in the making.

🦨 With the predators gone, ground‑nesting birds and rare invertebrates are already rebounding, reclaiming habitat that had been unsafe for decades.

🔬 This success shows how targeted invasive‑species removal, combining techniques as diverse as heat-sensing devices and ferret-sniffing dogs, can rapidly restore ecological balance and unlock long-term biodiversity recovery. Farmers benefit as well.

🌏 New Zealand may try it next.

#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."

#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."

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."

2020.
When 3 Coast Salish Indigenous Chiefs invited me to join their small lead boat crew to meet up with other boats from Campbell River, Comox, Lund, Quadra Island & Discovery Islands to block some restocking of open net fish farms & demand that they get out of BC waters.

Tsahaukuse, George Quocksister Jr. is a #HereditaryChief of the #Laichkwiltach Nation and the son of Elizabeth and George Quocksister. He is a passionate advocate for the protection of #WildSalmon as a crucial part of his culture and the food security of his people, and is working to ban the practice of #SalmonFarming on the west coast. He lives in Campbell River, BC.

This is from our 2020 #DiscoveryIslands flotilla protest & restocking patrol with George & 2 other BC Indigenous Chiefs(Darren Blaney & Bill Wilson) from North Island regions.

The fight to get fish farms out of BC waters started in the late 80s & continues.
