On the front lines with the Island Conservation Team.
Our friends over at Island Conservation are on the front lines working with local communities governments and NGOs to holistically restore island ecosystems. They do amazing stuff all over the world and we would like to help celebrate Earth Month by getting the word out on what they do and to show you where you can go to donate to their cause now. We need to preserve those remote and out-of-the-way islands so why not do it in the month when we celebrate our planet?
Many of the places Island Conservation helps are not on our travel radar which makes it even more vital that we spread the word and get the funds to the places needed. Island Conservation has therefore focused its efforts on islands with species categorized as Critically Endangered and Endangered on the IUCN's Red List.
Here's some more skinny...
Island Conservation's mission is to restore islands for nature and people worldwide. Islands are special places that provide outsized returns on our conservation investments. It’s really a message of hope for the future.
Island Conservation removes a primary threat to healthy island ecosystems--invasive species--and then they accelerate the return of native plants and animals using innovative methods. The results are dramatic! They've restored hundreds of island ecosystems using this nature-based solution across the globe and seen incredible benefits – enhanced coral health, thriving biodiversity, increased climate change resilience, growing forests, sustainable communities and more. Their small, but mighty team of island restoration specialists are dedicated to fixing a solvable problem.
Want to learn more? Their newsletter goes out twice a month with educational content as well as the latest and greatest environmental news on their website at www.islandconservation.org.
Island Conservation is headquartered in Santa Cruz, CA with field offices in Chile, Ecuador, Hawaii, New Zealand, Palau, and Puerto Rico. Since their founding in 1994, Island Conservation and their partners have successfully restored 65+ islands worldwide, benefiting 1218 populations of 504+ species and subspecies!
Islands To Highlands would like to give a BIG Mahalo to the Island Conservation Team for all their efforts worldwide in protecting our environment. We love what they do and approach to getting things done---from the people in the field to the ones behind the scenes getting the word out and presenting this story.
Island Conservation is dedicating their efforts to saving these wonderful islands and they love getting their hands dirty for the cause. It may look like a dream job to work in such wonderful settings, but when you have to roll your sleeves up and do the daily grind of conservation, it can be very tough work. The adverse conditions and long-term dedication to seeing projects through to completion goes mainly unseen by most of us. That's it---to keep things going unseen except by those doing it! So...let's get out and give them the support they need so they can get it done!
