Our efforts are focused on preserving mangroves and enhancing scientific research to better understand and conserve these crucial ecosystems.

🌏🌿 Happy World Mangrove Day! 🌿🌏 Today, let's take a moment to recognise the critical importance of mangroves in our ecosystems. Sadly, over three-quarters of the world's mangroves are currently under threat, putting at risk countless aquatic and terrestrial organisms that depend on these vital habitats. At Lord of the Trees, we are committed to safeguarding mangroves and supporting scientific research to preserve these unique environments. Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet and protect the invaluable biodiversity found in mangroves. #WorldMangroveDay #Conservation #PreservingBiodiversity #Sustainability

Did you know that ecological corridors play a vital role in supporting insects, birds, and mammals to move safely through our landscapes? 🌳 They connect isolated habitats, promoting biodiversity and ensuring the survival of our pollinators. From hedgerows to urban greenways, this booklet for the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan: "Ecological Corridors - Connecting Habitats for Biodiversity' from @BiodiversityIreland provides essential tips for creating and managing ecological corridors in communities and public spaces. 🏞️ Download your FREE copy now: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eBhuSP7M #AllIrelandPollinatorPlan #EcologicalCorridors #Biodiversity #PollinatorProtection #Sustainability #CommunityConservation

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity 🌱 Today, and every day, let’s commit to protecting and conserving our planet’s biodiversity. 🌿🌎 Did you know that wetlands are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems globally? Wetlands also serve as habitat for many migratory species. Explore more about my impact on wetland restoration and sustainability at aliziabarnes.weebly.com #Biodiversity #BiodiversityDay

Did you know? 👇 Around two-thirds of freshwater species use several waterbody types not just rivers or ponds or lakes or wetlands.  That’s why a network of clean, high quality freshwater habitats is essential for biodiversity. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eA-egWyE

We applaud #EUCommission President Ursula von der Leyen's clear words during today’s #SOTEU that “biodiversity and ecosystem services are vital for all of us in Europe. Loss of nature destroys not only the foundations of our lives but also our feeling of what constitutes home. We must protect it.” For decades, producers of natural mineral water have protected the catchment areas around the sources, with benefits for the local biodiversity. Today, they are stepping up their efforts with actions on afforestation, wetlands preservation, or the restoration of habitats for endangered species.

🌱 Exciting takeaways from our recent webinar on "How to Scale Native Restoration Globally"! 🌎 Biodiversity Magic Number: 20-40 native species is the sweet spot for optimal restoration impact whilst balancing costs. 🌿 Integrated Solutions for Scale: Achieving large-scale landscape restoration demands an integrated approach. The good news? It not only brings scale but also reduces restoration costs per hectare. 💡 Proximity Matters: In the Atlantic Forest Biome, 80% of passive restoration success is linked to the distance from existing forests.🌳 Community and Biodiversity at the Core: Whether big or small, restoration efforts thrive when community involvement and biodiversity are woven into their DNA. 🤝🦋 You can catch the full webinar here: https://lnkd.in/eMVfxbTj Thanks again to all that participated!

Freshwater ecosystems play such an essential role in nature that their importance surpasses aquatic systems themselves, spilling into buffer zones where water meets land and well beyond these borders. These scenic landscapes where blue and green spaces come together provide a range of benefits for people and biodiversity and are known as riparian zones.
