QUICK NOTE TO ALL WILDLIFE COMMUNITY ACTION TAKERS.... Do you want help making a difference for nature? Great ... here it is... if you are quick.... applications close on November 1st. Last chance to apply for funding to help nature in your community Funding still available from the £1 million Save our Wild Isles Community Fund from WWF, RSPB and Aviva. Applications close on 1st November 2023. If you are a community group in the UK looking for funding to restore nature in your local area, did you know there’s funding that could help? The £1 million Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund is live and still welcoming applications until 1st November 2023. Whilst the UK is home to some of the most incredible species on Earth, it is also one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world[1]. In the last 50 years alone, 38 million birds have vanished from UK skies [2] and 97% of wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s [3]. WWF and the RSPB, with funding from Aviva, want to help change this by making funding available to the local communities playing a crucial part in helping to restore nature across the UK. Nature is our life support system. It is beneficial to our own health, wellbeing [4], and it is vital in the fight against climate change. Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund Whether you’re working together to plant community gardens, support local wildlife or connecting your community to nature, the Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund will give you £500 to kick-start your fundraising campaign, once your project is live on the website, and donate £2 for every £1 raised to help boost your fundraising further.

One of the most rewarding aspects of giving is finding a cause that resonates with you - a charitable focus that aligns with your values and passions. At Stickney Research, we believe that an impactful philanthropic journey starts with this alignment. We recently found a heartening story from Reasons to be Cheerful that beautifully intersects three charitable focuses - wildlife conservation, environmental sustainability, and carbon reduction. It showcases the reintroduction of sea otters along the Pacific coastline. This not only revives a key species but also strengthens the kelp forests, excellent at trapping carbon, promoting a healthier and more sustainable environment. This story embodies the kind of multi-layered impact that can be achieved when our charitable focus aligns with diverse yet interconnected causes. It's a profound reminder that our contributions, no matter how small, can ripple out and create substantial change in our world.

Another key habitat for American Bird Conservancy in 2023 has been High-Altitude Andean Forests, particularly within Peru's Vilcanota mountain range (at altitudes between 11,800 and 15,000 feet!). In winter 2022-2023, ABC & our partner ECOAN - Asociación Ecosistemas Andinos coordinated the planting of 45,000 Polylepis trees to help birds like Royal Cinclodes, contributing to a grand total of over 1.6 million trees and shrubs planted in the Vilcanota mountains by ABC and our partners since 2002! ABC and ECOAN are currently working with the community of Quelcanca to create a new 13,000-acre reserve in the Vilcanota network in the coming years. The work, supported by New England Biolabs, enhances the vegetative cover that the birds need. Over time, Polylepis trees capture moisture and provide shade that lichens, mosses, and other plants rely on. It’s important work that has a direct impact, and we aren’t stopping here! For every gift of $20 or more made through December 31, ABC will plant TWO trees in priority international bird habitat in your name or the name of someone special. Donate $100 or more and ABC will contribute toward the purchase of an acre of bird habitat!

Today, People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) released The State of Britain's Dormice 2023 report. The report outlines the shocking decline of Britain's Hazel Dormice. Between the years 2000 and 2022, the National Dormouse Monitoring Programme (NDMP) shows the Dormouse population has fallen by 70%. Despite the staggering statists presented in the report, PTES' annual reintroduction programme and other conservation projects are working to protect the future of Britain's Dormice. Earlier this year, thanks to generous donors, Surrey Wildlife Trust raised £53,093 during our Dormouse Appeal. These funds are being put to good use to restore and connect healthy habitat, helping Hazel Dormice and other hedgerow and woodland species thrive right here in Surrey.

It's said that a landscape without wildlife is just scenery. The reality is that across much of the UK, that's what we have - just scenery. It's true that we need to restore natural habitats at scale and with urgency, but it's also true that those habitats need to be populated with more life than currently exists - more insects, more fish, more reptiles, more birds and mammals. There are some brilliant organisations out there doing brilliant work in returning missing species, and I'd like to think I work for one of them. SCOTLAND: The Big Picture is currently running a Wildlife Comeback appeal with every donation being tripled! So, for every £25 you donate, £75 goes to restoring species such as beavers, cranes and even lynx. That's a pretty good deal wouldn't you say? If you donate, thank you. If you simply repost, thank you. More here: https://lnkd.in/e3Mqef8T #WildlifeComeback #rewilding #naturerecovery #generationrestoration #naturebasedsolutions #scotland
