How Invasive Non-Native Species Threaten Our Woods Around 2,000 non-native plant and animal species have been introduced to the UK. The results have caused irreparable damage and changed our landscapes forever. Most non-native species are harmless. An invasive non-native species (INNS) is one that has a negative impact on the environment, economy or our health and way of life. Around 10-15% have become invasive and have a negative impact in some way: https://lnkd.in/eMznPRRB #woodland #trees #horticulture #invasivespecies #environment

How to create a new rainforest? 1. Rating and ranking of the plant species of the world, on the basis of their capacity to induce cloud seeding and rainfall, as well as on the basis of their capacity to provide food to the animal biodiversity. 2. Design the best plant portfolio with the top rated plants, that can provide food to the animal biodiversity throughout the year. 3. Design the best landscape which can maximise the ecosystem level biodiversity and the edge effect on biodiversity.

#Forests: home to diverse plant and animal species, many of which play crucial roles in regulating ecosystems, including water-related processes. Working with institutes/individuals in conserving forests, we #KAIINOS support the preservation of #biodiversity and the #ecological functions that contribute to #waterconservation

Did you know? 🌵 The Sonoran Desert in Arizona stands out as one of the most biologically diverse deserts globally. Its unique ecosystem boasts a remarkable array of plant and animal species, adapted to survive in the arid environment. From towering saguaro cacti to elusive desert bighorn sheep, the Sonoran Desert is a treasure trove of biodiversity waiting to be explored. 🦎🌺 For more information, check out https://gotravli.com/ #Travli #Arizona #scottsdalerealestate #scottsdalerealtors #investmentproperty #airbnbarizona #airbnbscottsdale #luxuryairbnb #airbnbluxe #luxuryrealestate #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #arizonarealestate #airbnbmanager #airbnbmanagement #airbnbsuperhost #airbnb #vrbo #ArizonaWildlife

Our societies, economies and natural systems are now more interconnected than ever before with most economic sectors increasingly dependent on the health and stability of ecosystem services. Governments and regulators have increasingly focused on nature and biodiversity conservation, with initiatives such as the EU Nature Restoration Law and the UK's Biodiversity Net Gain scheme. A wide range of frameworks and tools have also been developed to assist organizations to navigate this landscape. This includes the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (“TNFD”) that published the final version of its recommended disclosures in September 2023. As such, the finance sector has the power to drive positive change by integrating ESG factors across investment decisions, and channelling funds towards projects that support conservation and biodiversity. At WeESG, we understand how important it is for the finance sector to navigate biodiversity risks and opportunities. Our latest course on Biodiversity and the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is tailored specifically to help finance professionals gain a deep understanding of the implications this significant market development will bring and how their organisations should respond. #WorldWildlifeDay #BiodiversityFinance #SustainableFinance #Nature #Training #learninganddevelopment #skilldevelopment

Every animal is important, but some are true VIPs of our ecosystems! Meet the keystone species – the ultimate game-changers. But what makes them so special? Keystone species have a massive impact on their environment, way beyond what you'd expect from their numbers. Imagine them as the glue holding everything together. When they're gone, it's like pulling a crucial piece from a Jenga tower – the whole system can collapse. #GlobalHumaneConservationFundofAfrica #GlobalHumaneAfrica #GlobalHumane #KeystoneSpecies #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies

Great news in the Tahoe Basin: A new study of wildlife connectivity. Fragmented by roads and facing new stressors like climate change, we need to take a closer look at how wildlife navigate in order to understand their preferences and essential features for protection. This data will help inform future decisions on wildlife corridors and passages, which will help protect Tahoe's extraordinary biodiversity. 🌍🐾 #TahoeConnectivity #30x30

How to plan forest restoration? 1. Rating and ranking of the top plant species of the world, on the basis of their capacity to provide food to the animal biodiversity and on the basis of their capacity to induce rainfall. 2. Design the best plant community on the basis of flowering and fruiting time, to maintain uniform supply of food to the animal biodiversity, throughout the year. 3. Design the best landscape, to maximise ecosystem level biodiversity and to maximise the edge effect on biodiversity.
