Riverkeeper’s Post

On #WorldWetlandsDay, we celebrate the vital role wetlands play in mitigating climate change 🌿💧🐸 They act as sponges on the landscape, soaking up water and storing carbon. They help filter water. They control flooding and they provide important habitat for many species. The Nature Trust of BC wants to protect the 129 hectares of Ferguson Lake Wetlands in Prince George - a unique habitat home to iconic species including moose, black bear and the American beaver. If you also value wetlands, donate this #WorldWetlandsDay to protect wetlands like Ferguson Lake - investing today so we don’t pay a price tomorrow: https://bit.ly/42nQADb

Check out our metrics from February! We primarily focused on steam restoration sites and maintenance. That primarily looks like invasive species removal, which will hopefully give our natives some time to bloom or leaf out with less struggle. Keep an eye for our monthly recap blog where we go into detail on what our crews and staff have been accomplishing! #metrics #workforcedevelopment #greenjobs #howardcountymd #ClimateAction #conservation #nonprofit #environmentalnonprofit #achievements2024

Today, you can double your impact with a tax-time gift and give nature a legal voice! Nature needs us now more than ever.  In Australia, more than 2000 species and ecosystems are threatened with extinction.  We need to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions to avoid dangerous climate change, yet 29 new coal mines are on the table or approved already in Australia.   The law is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight the climate and extinction crises.  But we need you on our side, and today you can double your impact. Turn your $50 gift into $100, $150 into $300, or $500 into $1000.  Gifts up to $1000 will be matched by one of EDO’s dedicated supporters, the Sisyphus Foundation. The Foundation are offering to match donations up to a total of $40,000 in memory of its founder, Jeremy Davis, who recognised EDO’s vital role in safeguarding Australia’s natural heritage for generations to come. We’d like to thank the Sisyphus Foundation and Jeremy’s family for their ongoing commitment to a world where nature thrives. Make your tax-time gift count and give wildlife and nature a legal voice today. With the end of financial year just three days away, now is a great time to give. By donating today, you are helping to use the law to defend our most precious places and wildlife from destruction.

As part of the Videndum Production Solutions Action4Good ESG programme, we organised multiple activities throughout 2023, encouraging employees across our global offices to take part and help raise money for our chosen charity – Rainforest Trust UK. This initiative allowed us to donate enough money to safeguard 9,000 acres of the Brazilian Amazon – the world’s largest rainforest last year. To share a little more about the difference the donation will make, we are supporting Rainforest Trust's strategy to permanently safeguard 20 million acres of the Brazilian Amazon across multiple projects - that's an area the size of Scotland. This vital work will provide a safe haven for at least 70 threatened species and secure the territories of 150,000 Indigenous people. By doing so, we’re helping to pull the Amazon back from the tipping point and safely lock up more than 6 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalents, to diminish the global impacts of climate change. #CSR #corporatesocialresponsibility #environment #esg #rainforesttrust #videndum
