Generation restore is collecting seeds to heal the land
Indigenous young people are restoring environment ravaged for generations.
"Generations of land clearing since colonisation has put an ancient ecosystem in southern New South Wales in danger. The ultimate goal is to create an environment suitable for native pines that have been over-harvested. Native trees such as the cypress pine were once prolific in the woodland, but were historically used for homesteads and fencing, which resulted in generations of clearing."

by #NoellePhillips in The #DenverPost:
"A veteran employee of the Bureau of Land Management in the San Luis Valley filed a whistleblower complaint Monday, saying her bosses are failing to enforce livestock grazing rules on public lands and are jeopardizing the ecosystem along the Rio Grande River...
"The Bureau has the power to impound livestock or levy fines, but managers are timid because they fear another armed standoff similar to the ones led by the Bundy family in Oregon and Nevada, Shawcroft said. In 2014 in Nevada, Cliven Bundy, his family and an armed militia organized a standoff with federal agents who had come to round up the rancher’s cows that were illegally grazing on federal land."

I checked, and even sheep know it’s a climate crisis. Only some rightout stupid humans doesn’t get it. Yet.

In Kent, wild bison who have been roaming 50 hectares of woodland will get access to 200 hectares via a series of bridges that will also allow the public to see the incredible creatures busily managing the land.

Bison can help fight climate change by grazing. Their munching stimulates plant growth and increases carbon storage in the soil. Bringing back these majestic animals could benefit both nature and people.

For the last year, four wild Exmoor ponies have been managing land near Hebden bridge, grazing the land and trampling down invasive species.

The toxicity of Giant Hogweed is no joke. But apparently sheep are immune and so can be used to manage sites where the invasive species is growing.

Cows are grazing right now in front of the German Parliament!
Smallholder farmers and environmental groups are pressing the government to promote grazing instead of factory farming. Currently, only 31% of the cows in Germany are pastured.
Let ALL the cows pasture!

Dozens of woodland bird species are threatened
Pardalotes, thornbills, treecreepers, gerygones and nightjars. Forty woodland bird species are listed as threatened and several others are declining. Avoiding damage and loss of habitat in the first place is the most important thing we can do.

In this story, the rancher describes the scenario thusly:
".... two dummies like he and I go into debt ranching the first year and they’re trying to jerk our leases out of there.”
Said dummies bought the ranch in the middle of the process to determine whether ranching would continue on the #SanPedroRiparianNCA, a place that was never legally authorized for #grazing in the first place.
Hard to dispute his assessment.

"We cannot simply put our threatened mammals behind fences and consider the job done.
Consider the iconic bilby, whose range has shrunk by more than 80% in the last 150 years. It’s now found in the wild only in a small part of Queensland and in remote parts of Northern Territory and Western Australia."
