A lovely Marsh Fritillary spotted this week on a Bodmin Moor peatland restoration site 🦋 This beautiful species, once widespread, is now threatened in the UK and across Europe. Marsh Fritillary relies on extensive habitat networks and is now confined to the western side of Britain and Ireland. As the name suggests, its main habitat are damp marshlands and shorter grasslands. They also rely on Devil's-bit Scabious and other Scabious species as their main foodsource and also hibernation spots. A sighting of a rare species like this, the first in years at this location, is a key reminder of the vital importance of creating spaces where nature and wildlife can thrive, particularly the often overlooked insect species. We are sometimes told 'nature will heal herself' - this is not the case. Humans have, and have had, such a vast impact on the landscape that we now need to invest in our wild spaces, shape the right habitats to flourish and think thoughtfully about how to tackle degrading and drained landscapes that provide little biodiversity support. Spaces like this area of holistic peatland restoration works on South West Water land on Bodmin Moor are doing just that, holding back water in the landscape, slowing the flow down, tackling erosion, improving the hydrological functioning of the peat and diversifying plant and wildlife species. Watch this space 💧 Lovely fritillary spotted by SWW Director of Natural Resouces Carolyn Cadman SWPP is funded by Natural England South West Water #UpstreamThinking #DuchyOfCornwall National Trust Environment Agency Cornwall Council #peatlandrestoration #peatbog #peatland #generationrestoration #landregeneration

What an incredible project to rethink the role of water in our landscape. Water has been historically diverted, hidden, piped and taken away. We need to return water to our landscape, making the hidden visible and connecting people with water and the plants and animals it supports. https://lnkd.in/gwgcG5Xu

Today is World Environment Day, and this year’s theme is land restoration – our specialty!   Restoration involves the recovery of species, ecosystems or landscapes that have been damaged or degraded. This process aims to re-establish habitat to allow wildlife communities to thrive once again – to put back what we’ve lost.   At Greening Australia, we’ve been restoring landscapes for over 40 years and have rebuilt thousands of hectares of habitat to date. Our planting projects provide a multitude of benefits, including food and shelter for Australia’s unique wildlife, tackling salinity on farmland, preventing millions of tonnes of eroded soil from reaching waterways, cooling temperatures in urban areas, and much more.   We can’t turn back time but we can restore forests, revive waterways and bring back soils.

Excited to share that I've successfully completed the online non-credit course on Tropical Forest Landscapes: Conservation, and Restoration! 🌿Looking forward to applying this knowledge in my future endeavors! #ForestConservation #EnvironmentalSustainability

One of the speakers in The Radical inclusive City on Thur. 7 Dec. is Mick Santos, he works for Restor .eco, an open data platform that supports the restoration of nature and the environment. The goal of the platform is to connect people worldwide, from individuals to interest groups, to local ecology. As an open data platform, Restor shares scientific data and information, allowing people to work together to increase the impact, scale, and sustainability of restoration efforts. Restor focuses not only on forests but also on grasslands, wetlands, coastal areas, and other ecological systems. Users of the platform can add their own data, creating a growing database that helps map ecological improvements. https://restor.eco/ #restoration #onlinecommunities

Site prescriptions are key to ecological restoration. But what exactly are they? Site prescriptions are tailored treatments designed to manage the structure and composition of a land area, aligning with economic, ecological, and social goals. It's a strategic blueprint ensuring the right mix of species is planted for optimal forest health. Each forest area has unique needs. From determining the species mix (like 50% Douglas Fir and 50% Ponderosa Pine) to setting the ideal tree density, these prescriptions are critical in creating resilient, thriving forests. 👇Learn more from our free Reforestation Planning Guide here https://reforestation.fyi/ #mastreforestation #reforestation #forestresilience #forestrestoration #ecologicalrestoration #healthyforests

We're taking action to protect turtles and reduce road mortality in hotspot areas that bisect their critical habitat in the Grindstone Marsh. Learn more about how the Cootes to Escarpment Ecopark System Ecological Corridors Pilot Program is supporting this vital effort: https://ow.ly/Bhk450PWa8A

Learn about #Inland #mangroves! 🌱 As sea level receded, a small #mangrove forest became surrounded by terrestrial vegetation and is now considered a relict ecosystem. #BlueYatra: A #GreenYatra initiative focused on Restoration and Conservation of the Coastal ecosystem through #Mangrove plantation and awareness.
