Ce qu'aime le planteur Loblolly pine forests provide habitat for various wildlife species and support biodiversity. They also play a role in watershed protection, soil stabilization, and carbon sequestration. One of the most notable particularities of loblolly pine is its fast growth rate. It is known for its rapid height and volume growth, making it an economically valuable tree species for timber production

🌿✨ Breaking Grounds for Biodiversity Innovation: Unveiling the "Vantara Program" by Reliance Industries Limited and Reliance Foundation ✨🌿 In a historic leap for India's commitment to animal welfare and biodiversity, Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation proudly introduce the "Vantara Program" - a monumental initiative pioneering a new era of compassion and conservation. 🌏🐾 🌿 Comprehensive Impact: The Vantara Program marks a watershed moment, focusing on the rescue, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of injured, abused, and threatened animals. This game-changing initiative extends its reach not only across India but also on a global scale. 🌳 Verdant Sanctuary: Spanning an expansive 3000 acres of lush greenery, the Vantara Program provides a natural haven, mirroring a jungle-like environment. This sanctuary is dedicated to the well-being of rescued, endangered, and diverse animal species. 🤲 3000 Caregivers Empowered: Beyond conservation, the Vantara Program is a beacon of empowerment, employing over 3000 caregivers dedicated to the welfare of 2000 animals across 43 species. This showcases an unparalleled commitment to the livelihoods of both animals and caretakers. 👏 Hats Off to the Ambani's: A salute to the Ambani's for this visionary project! The Vantara Program stands as a testament to their commitment to impactful initiatives that uplift lives and contribute to global biodiversity. 🌐 A Global Milestone: This pioneering effort isn't just a triumph for India; it's a first-of-its-kind biodiversity innovation with global implications. The Vantara Program sets the stage for sustainable coexistence between humanity and the animal kingdom. 🌍 Join the Movement: Let's celebrate this transformative initiative! #relianceindustries #reliancefoundation #biodiversityinnovation #animalwelfare #conservationleadership #globalimpact #vantarajourney 🌿✨

To become a caring and useful player in the sensitive future of our planet

One size doesn't fit all. Interesting article today on https://www.vitisphere.com about the risk of certain marginal vineyards using cover crops. They use up the water and nitrogen. This is usually fine, but in certain areas the vines can't take the competition and don't fruit. Literally counterproductive. Perhaps instead of fretting about rain, we should welcome it. I don't know of a UK vineyard without cover - even if it is just grass. Cover crops are so helpful for maintaining soil health and increasing biodiversity. It looks pretty too (although much more difficult to wade through to peer at the vines!)

PROJECT OF THE WEEK: #No 24 –Acari LLC This week, we are highlighting the first of our newly announced ORIC2023 winners AcariLLC who are building a network of small-scale fishers to capture and process invasive lionfish while creating a market for their use as pet food.    Invasive species are one of the highest drivers of biodiversity loss as they outcompete native species for resources and territory and have few natural predators. Over the past two decades, artisanal fishers in Latin America have experienced severe repercussions due to the invasive lionfish. Despite their abundance and threat to local biodiversity, there is currently little demand to capture lionfish due to cultural factors and the higher costs to catch and process them.      Through Acari LLC’s approach, fishers are incentivised to focus their efforts on the invasive lionfish, helping native fish populations thrive by guaranteeing the purchase of 100% of the catch upfront.     Under the ORIC23 cohort, Acari is expanding its operations and building a supply chain for lionfish in #Colombia. This project will focus on supporting fishing cooperatives with technical training and upgrading their processing capabilities to meet US Food and Drug Administration standards. Acari is also partnering with INVERSA Leathers – a previous ORIC project winner – to process a higher percentage of lionfish to create pet treats and sustainable leather.    Mike Mitchell Pezzy Pets   To learn more about Acari LLC click here: https://lnkd.in/ep9TFNDz    #Finance #Blueeconomy #Oceaninvestment #Oceanresilience #coastalresilience #climatechange #Oceanprotection #coastalprotection #Financialflows #BlueEconomy #bluenature #sustainableOceans #Oceansmatter #Oceanmatters #Backblue #Lionfish #invasivespecies #ias #pescasostenible #pescadoresartesanales #petfood

In World First, Scimitar Horned Oryx Upgraded from Extinct in Wild to Endangered Owing to Decades of Zoo Work In one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a remarkable thing has happened—the scimitar-horned oryx, once declared extinct in the wild, is now classified only as endangered. It’s the first time the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s largest conservation organization, has ever moved a species on its Red List from ‘Extinct […] The post In World First, Scimitar Horned Oryx Upgraded from Extinct in Wild to Endangered Owing to Decades of Zoo Work appeared first on Good News Network.

Planting trees, recruiting workforce and better managing plots: to adapt the French #forest to climate change, up to ten billion euros will be needed over ten years according to the "Objectif Forêt" report presented by the French Agriculture Minister Marc Fesneau. This report, drawn up by the council specializing in sustainable forest management, after consultations with players in the field, assessed the situation and proposed actions to adapt the #forestry sector to #climatechange. Over the next ten years, climate change will require the renewal of vulnerable or burnt trees, the afforestation of abandoned farmland, and other actions on around 2.6 million hectares, or 15% of the forest in mainland France. This vast intervention program will be shared between private owners, who hold 75% of the forest, and the government, which will cover part of the investment to ensure that public and private nursery chains are structured. The SWIFTT project has the potential to be a major contributor to this plan, by offering a holistic forest health monitoring service using #Copernicus #satellite imagery and powerful #machinelearning models. SWIFTT will help forest managers to detect and map the various threats to which their forests are exposed, including windthrow damage, insect outbreaks and #wildfire risk. Foresters will be able to act proactively and allocate resources efficiently for a timely intervention, making France, and the whole of Europe, better positioned to combat climate change and preserve its biodiversity through healthier forests.
