  7. 📰 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.

  8. #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."

  9. 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."

    Which is the Best Tiger Safari in India to Spot Tigers? A Complete Guide for 2026-27

    If you are planning a wildlife trip and wondering “Which is the best tiger safari in India to spot tigers?”, the short answer is: Central India offers the highest probability of tiger sightings in India, especially in parks like Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore, Kanha, and Tadoba. However, the best tiger safari in India depends on your travel style, budget, and whether you prefer luxury lodges, dense forests, or photography-focused safaris. This guide breaks down the best tiger safari […]

    The current strategy to save endangered species in North America is to build back populations to a level that avoids extinction, then support stops.

    🐻 Three North American species: gray wolves, grizzly bears and bison are examples of how local restrictions after they reached minimal levels prevented the species to thrive.

    🪶 Restrictions also limit ability of indigenous people to maintain a cultural connection.

    📈 A better conservation strategy would be to measure success by creating a thriving population participating in its natural habitat. But this would require a new vision and policies.

  14. #WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish

    Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.

    "Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.

    " 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'

    "The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.

    "The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.

    "The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.

    "The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.

    " 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."

She fell 60 feet from her nest, and was found by kind-hearted #hikers who brought her into the wildlife center. 2nd photo after eating 4 chopped mice. 😳☺️

    She still has her #EggTooth (tiny white spot) on tip of beak - helps her to crack egg shell when she was hatching.
