Global report stresses on role of wild animals, #rewilding in #wetland conservation

The study, released on #WorldWetlandsDay, outlines impactful evidence that reintroducing and protecting key wild animal species could be a game-changer in tackling #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss, #InvasiveSpecies control, and #WaterSecurity challenges.

Excerpt: "A case study from #India led by Dr Samir Kumar Sinha, Chief Ecologist, Wildlife Trust of India, on the potential influences of #SarusCrane recovery on the wetland ecosystem services has recorded that the '#Sarus #crane holds cultural significance and thus provides cultural services in India. Its foraging behaviour – primarily digging for tubers and roots in muddy wetlands –creates ploughed patches that enhance plant diversity and support the growth of of less dominant plant species. The crane also benefits small-scale farming, as their nesting sites provide foundations for pioneer grasses instead of the typical reed and sedge, which allow the farmers to till, plough, and sow crops earlier,' the WTI said.

"The Ganges River basin hosts diverse wetlands vital for biodiversity, including the culturally significant but vulnerable Sarus crane, which depends on both natural and man-made wetlands. Habitat destruction has forced these cranes to breed in rice paddies, despite lower breeding success.

"The Sarus crane serves as a key indicator of wetland health. Conservation efforts in eastern #UttarPradesh by the #WildlifeTrustOfIndia have protected 700+ nests, leading to an 8 per cent annual population growth from 650 (2013) to 2,600 (2024)."

Meme & Flokinho 🐈‍
A big tegu lizard, not the biggest around but already larger than Meme. This daring cat stood still watching it until a dog approached, when Meme finally started chasing the lizard, but the reptile was quicker and escaped into the bushes. These lizards appear on hotter days and, fortunately, help keep snakes away.

🇧🇷🇵🇹 Um lagartão teiú, não dos maiores, mas já maior que o Meme. O danado do gato ficou observando até que um cachorro se aproximou e aí sim Meme saiu perseguindo o lagarto, que foi mais rápido e fugiu para o mato. Esses répteis aparecem nos dias mais quentes, e felizmente ajudam a evitar cobras.

Daytime photo of a backyard scene having, left, Meme the Cat, a black-and-white tuxedo feline with one white ear and one black ear, lying with his back turned to the camera on a patch of random small plants. The garden features red soil, some greenery, and small plants bordered by recycled plastic bottles. On the other side of the photo, if observed closely, a tegu lizard can be seen, watched attentively by Meme. [pt-BR] Foto diurna de um quintal contendo, à esquerda, Meme, o gato frajolinha preto e branco com uma orelha branca e outra preta, deitado de costas para a câmera em uma área com pequenas plantinhas aleatórias em um jardim. O jardim apresenta solo vermelho, alguma vegetação e pequenas plantas cercadas por garrafas plásticas recicladas. Do outro lado da foto, se observado com atenção, é possível ver um lagarto teiú, que é atentamente observado por Meme.
