Science, planning & human-informed conservation in peopled landscapes. Diversity & complexity = resilience. @NCC_CNC team, but tweets are mine. he/him

During this Earth Week, @NCC_CNC is excited about conservation opportunities in many provinces. In Manitoba, we are raising funds to conserve a beautiful site near Roblin. @caryhamel spoke with CFRY Golden West Radio in Portage La Prairie.

158 Canadian Forces members (and seven civilians) died in Afghanistan avenging the 9/11 attacks on the US. I don’t find jokes about the “Governor of Canada”/51st state amusing. Curious to see when this kind of stupidity gets an appropriate response from our government.

Great blog post by Jeremy Hogan @NCC_CNC

We are in a race against time to save the remaining 20% of Canada's prairie grasslands - and the cultural connections and food production that depend on them.

Grasslands are threatened, but with partners like Association of Manitoba Community Pastures, we're making a difference! Congrats to AMCP for winning @ManitobaBeef's Environmental Stewardship Award & marking 10 years of caring for 140,000+ hectares of Manitoba’s vital habitats.

Christine Chilton @NCC_CNC chatted this morning with @RachelLagacectv @CTVMorningWPG about this weekends ‘Bioblitz’ - a fun way to contribute to our collective knowledge of our natural world & help inform conservation decision-making. #NCCBioBlitz https://t.co/rQrK72mGPy

Grateful for @Wawanesa investment in climate resiliency & the careers of our @NCC_CNC Next Generation Conservation Leaders. In a short time span supported interns have worked hard, had fun, and have had a major and positive impact on people and the planet!

This Candidate KBA is the world’s largest concentration of snakes!

Tens of thousands of Red-sided Garter Snakes emerge each spring at Narcisse Snake Dens for mating. Several hundred males will surround a single female, creating a tangled serpent ball 🐍 #30DaysofKBAs

And this this is how species get saved from extinction:
Passionate & creative people with long term commitment to sites & species.
Concurrent recovery actions & research.
Ecosystem actions where you can, species actions where you must.

Prescribed fire & grazing benefit critically endangered Poweshiek Skipperling butterflies. Proud to be on team of dozens who worked to collect and analyze 10 years of conservation land management & species data.

Happy Earth Day. Grasslands and human history and wellness are deeply intertwined. It is an honour to be part of a community working to conserve prairie grasslands. Thank you to all grasslands supporters!

[NatureConservancy.ca | Conservationdelanature.ca @NCC_CNC]

Join us in celebrating a historic achievement for Prairie grasslands! Thanks to you, McIntyre Ranch is now conserved forever. But our mission doesn't end here. Let's continue the momentum and safeguard Canada's remaining Prairie grasslands. ➡️ https://t.co/1MyCJAlePJ #EarthDay

.@NCC_CNC is taking on another piece of property in Manitoba in its efforts to preserve wetlands. Earlier this month, it acquired a 78-hectare piece of land just east of Ste. Rita, Man. Untouched wetland increasingly under threat in Canada: @DeadAir_Timmy https://t.co/27trIoui3V

[Cary Hamel @caryhamel]

Pleased to see widespread local media coverage of donation of Ste Rita Peatlands to @NCC_CNC. 30 min east of Winnipeg, supports forested & non-forested wetlands & Hazel Creek.

Humbled to have land donated to NCC care by the Rosenberg family https://t.co/L2qwE43sEB

[Andrew Holland 🇨🇦 @Andrew__Holland]

For #WorldWetlandsDay, @NCC_CNC announced this wetland donation, near Ste. Rita east of Winnipeg. The land was generously gifted by the Lewis Rosenberg family. Our natural area manager Tim Teetaert did 7 media interviews, including @ctvwinnipeg.

[NCC_CNC Media @NCC_CNCMedia]

Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth, but store more carbon than all the world’s forests combined. That's in part what makes a recent land donation from a Manitoba family so impactful. @NCC_CNC https://t.co/OKpoiQbtLr

[Cary Hamel @caryhamel]

So grateful for the donation of the Ste Rita Peatlands to the care of @NCC_CNC - great news! Happy World Wetlands Day!

[Global Winnipeg @globalwinnipeg]

"Wetlands are essentially that swiss army knife... it provides so many services. They filter water, they trap and store carbon, mitigating floods."
Nature Conservancy of Canada has a new project protecting 193 acres of peatlands and wetlands in Ste. Rita, Manitoba.

Unique internship opportunity: creative communication in support of @NCC_CNC urgent mission of addressing the joint crises of biodiversity loss & climate change. Full time and for a full year. Closes Feb 9. https://t.co/yAKCl7D8vK

[Cary Hamel @caryhamel]

Communities, donors and farmers combined forces with @NCC_CNC to conserve over 2,419 ha (almost 6,000 ac) of key natural areas in Manitoba in 2023. That’s nearly the size of Grand Beach Provincial Park!
