‘We made everything bear-proof’: the Italian village that learned to love its bears.
By learning to live with its ursine neighbours, mountainous Pettorano sul Gizio has drawn tourists and new residents, bucking a trend of rural decline.
In Italy, a village so wise,
Learned to coexist with surprise,
Bears roaming around,
No fear to be found,
Living peacefully 'neath clear skies.

A little Nevada #rewilding #timelineCleanse
TL;DR by changing how cattle are grazed, a creek in Nevada (Dixie Creek, yes, the name is terrible) has bloomed into a meandering oasis over 30+ years.

The video in the link shows the area transforming dramatically from a rocky narrow stream surrounded by bare ground to a broader, slower wetland surrounded by a band of green in the desert.
"There are now at least 173 underpasses and overpasses that are dedicated for #wildlife to get safely across roads.
"There’s three more that are under construction right now and there are 47 that have been committed to by various governments.
"So, we’re getting to this place where consideration of wildlife getting across roads is just a normal part of what we do. That’s super exciting."

"A genius way to protect the ocean" [11:14 min]

Quote by PW:
"Nov 15, 2024
The Mediterranean Sea is in crisis. Once a thriving spot for biodiversity, it is now the most overfished sea in the world and, according to the WWF, is "on the verge of burnout."
Why? Bottom trawling—a destructive fishing method where nets are dragged along the seabed, catching or destroying everything in their path.
For our 21st Planet Wild mission, we're supporting a beautiful and effective method to stop bottom trawling and protect marine life: an underwater sculpture museum.
Many thanks to the five selected artists who donated their work to the museum: Nikolas Maniatakos, Maria Grazia Collini, Abdulkadir Hocaoglu, Stefano Corti, and Giacomo Bernardi.
A special thanks to Greenpeace, Camilla Salghetti, Barbara Farnetani and Santiago Burin Des Roziers for providing us with additional footage."

"Why we're releasing more Red Kites in 2025 | VLOG" [6:25 min]

Quote by MEFN:
"Mar 27, 2025
In this vlog, Flora talks about the work being done to tackle illegal poisonings and boost the survival chances of released Red kites, with the goal of creating a stable population in the Iberian peninsula."
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
The red kite (Milvus milvus), an iconic, graceful raptor has had a turbulent relationship with people over the centuries, from once being praised to almost going extinct in the UK. Translocated Spanish red kites saved UK populations last century but now their Spanish cousins are in severe trouble. This project is reinforcing the southernmost populations through reintroducing 120-130 red kites from the UK to Extremadura in Spain, over a 4-year period.

In the hills of Italy, wolves returned from the brink.
But alas, poisonings made them shrink.
Such a cruel, heartless act,
To harm creatures in their pact,
Let's protect them before they sink!

In the hills of Italy, wolves returned from the brink.
Thriving in their land, a victory to drink.
But poisonings began,
An act so cruel and inhuman,
Their future now hangs on the brink.

While Andrew Millison makes great content, after a while, to me, it seems more of the same. I won't be sharing this for a while, and that's a shame.

Short : "Oct 31, 2024
How do you turn one of the world's hottest, driest deserts into a green, thriving landscape? 
In the Thar Desert of Northwest India, 25 million people have mastered the art of survival by creating sustainable agriculture with minimal rain. Watch as Andrew shows you 3 powerful techniques they've used to build water resilience, food security, and climate stability—even in some of Earth’s most extreme conditions. These development projects are spearheaded by Gramin Vikas Vigyan Samiti (GRAVIS)."
Longer: "Oct 25, 2024
Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison travels to the Thar Desert in Rajasthan India to see the 40 year water harvesting and community development projects spearheaded by Gramin Vikas Vigyan Samiti (GRAVIS). We spent several days touring the Thar Desert projects of GRAVIS, and found incredible inspiration in the deep resilience of that harsh and dry region.
DISCLAIMER: The wet season footage was filmed closer to Jaipur, which is a slightly wetter region of Rajasthan. So for those of you who are very familiar with the Thar Desert ecosystem, you may notice the trees are a little bit bigger and more dense on the land then you find West of the Arvari Hills."
