PRO-Coast Project

Exciting News from Slovenia!
@Pro_Coast partner University of Primorska, has made significant strides in presenting the PRO-Coast project. Their focus on the case study "Strunjan Landscape Park has garnered recognition, as it has been selected as one of the few projects to be showcased at a prestigious Open Science Festival in Ljubljana. #Biodiversity #biodiversityconservation

Amazing platform! I will spend quite some time wandering through your country :)

Just one suggestion: mark the national borders with a line, but don't cut the ecoregions. First of all, because nature knows no borders and ecosystems need to be considered as a whole for conservation and sustainable use. But by this you can make also a subtile statement against nationalism and hate.
(all this, of course only if the data is easily available...)

Anyway, thank you for your work! I forwarded the link already to several contacts in the region!

#Flooding is a challenge affecting everything from economic security, to drinking water & the pursuit of truth & reconciliation. #Canada must adapt to the urgent risks posed by worsening floods. Luckily, numerous pathways exist for individual #Canadians to engage in #CollectiveActions to protect ourselves & our communities.

#ClimateChange is shifting how water moves through landscapes both in our #communities & around the globe. #Information & #awareness is key in this world of changing conditions. However, a 2022 #audit of #FloodRisk preparedness in #Ontario reported that public awareness of personal flood risk & #liability is poor across the province.

Many Canadians are just one bad storm away from an unmitigated watery #disaster. Floods are the most expensive & most frequent type of #NaturalHazard in Canada. An analysis of #insurance solutions for flood risk found that current residential flood risk in Canada is estimated at $2.9 billion per year.

#NatureBased #CommunityDriven #solutions have huge potential to address gaps in #infrastructure, promote resilience & build #ecological knowledge—often at a much reduced cost than traditional hard solutions like seawalls or embankments.

#GreenInfrastructure can also be highly effective along #watercourses where, once established, vegetation helps to filter surface #pollutants, stabilize #erosion & prevent surges of water from spilling over.

From 2023: #OneidaNation's #environmental restoration project to receive funding in proposed [#Wisconsin] state budget

#Wildrice, or manoomin in #Ojibwe, is central to Ojibwe identity and is part of the culture’s migration story.

ONEIDA – "Part of Gov. #TonyEvers’ proposed budget includes $875,000 to help fund the Oneida Nation’s environmental restoration project on the reservation.

"Over the past year, the tribe has restored about 3,000 acres of #wetlands, #grasslands, #prairies and #forests on the reservation.

"The governor’s budget includes an annual investment of $175,000 for five years for continuing the Oneida Nation’s #HabitatRestoration work and bird monitoring project just west of #GreenBay.

"'We know that #nature can provide for itself if allowed to. A years-long restoration of Oneida’s lands in Northeastern Wisconsin has led to improvements in water quality and the return of #wildlife,' said Oneida Chairman Tehassi Hill in a statement. 'We appreciate Governor Evers for supporting our work to restore and protect Wisconsin’s natural spaces.'

"The Oneida Nation also started a bird monitoring project on its restoration sites in coordination with the Northeastern Wisconsin #Audubon Society and UW-Green Bay’s Cofrin Center for Biodiversity to research how birds are responding to the tribe’s conservation efforts.

"'We’ve witnessed firsthand as state-threatened bird species, like the #HenslowsSparrow, have returned to restored Oneida Nation lands, an incredible testament to the importance of this restoration work,' said Erin Giese, president of the Northeastern Wisconsin Audubon Society, in a statement.

[...]

"Evers’ budget proposal also includes a $200,000 investment in restoring and protecting natural wild rice areas in Wisconsin.

"Experts say wild rice is an essential food source for many of the #MigratorBirds in the area, including many species of #ducks, #pheasants, #owls, #cranes, #geese and #songbirds.

"The plants also help to improve the #environment.

"'Emergent plants, including wild rice, help promote #water quality through the filtering and storage of nutrients and slow down wave action in the #CoastalWetlands of Green Bay,' said Dr. Amy Carrozzino-Lyon, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay restoration project manager in the natural and applied sciences department. 'A diversity of native wetland plants helps the community function at its best.'"

On #Oneida #Wetlands, Bird Surveys Affirm Tribal Conservation Success
A recent collaboration between #Wisconsin birders and the #OneidaNation demonstrates how the tribe's decades-long habitat restoration paid off.

"Twenty years ago, Tony Kuchma took charge of restoring the Oneida Nation's wetlands in northeastern Wisconsin. The land was marked by old mills and farm operations. The water was #polluted. The fields were overrun with non-native plants.

"Since then, Kuchma and his team have rehabilitated about 3,000 acres of the reservation. 'Large-scale #restoration is an accumulation of years of effort,' he says. 'We’re looking at the land: Some wants to be prairie, some trees, some wetland. The land tells you what it wants to be again.'

"Now streams flow where ditches stood, and there's a renewed #wildlife presence. 'We’ve had eagles come back,' says Randy Cornelius, a cultural representative of the tribe. 'I’ve seen ospreys, cormorants, ducks I’ve never seen before.'"

States Are Eyeing Bird-Friendly #Wetlands to Help Rid the #GreatLakes of #ToxicAlgae

"The #OneidaNation has restored wetlands that help to improve water quality in Wisconsin’s Green Bay while creating valuable habitat that attracts many birds."

Published June 17, 2024

"In the ongoing effort to bring the problem under control, the region’s leaders are increasingly reaching for a primitive but proven tool for capturing and cleaning water before it enters the lake: wetlands. No one believes that #swamps and marshes alone can starve the algae blooms, but experts say they are an important part of the solution. 'Wetlands are wonderful filtration systems,' says Richard Stumpf, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration who monitors #algae outbreaks. And because wetlands around the Great Lakes offer vital habitat where birds can rest during migration or raise their young, restoring them not only improves water quality but also brightens the outlook for vulnerable avian species.

“'There’s momentum building behind #NatureBasedSolutions,' says Kyle Rorah, regional director of public policy for Ducks Unlimited. 'There’s a huge opportunity to get serious about taking a chunk out of the problem.'"
