In the 1850s, pigs brought to Santa Cruz Island became feral

#captive breeding #ecosystem #Island #wildlife

Feral pigs were eradicated from Santa Cruz Island, facilitating a resurgence in fox populations. With bald eagles no longer in the area, golden eagles preyed on the island's foxes. In response, conservationists captured the golden eagles and reintroduced the native bald eagles. A captive breeding initiative safeguarded the remaining island foxes from predators, resulting in a successful revival of the island's native wildlife and ecosystem.

Kenya: Crocodiles pushed towards homes by rising lakes

#climate #climate change #Kenya #lake #See #wildlife

Climate change is forcing Kenya's wildlife officers to go on a crocodile hunt on the shores of Lake Baringo in a bid to curb growing human-wildlife conflict. Lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, pushing the reptiles towards human homes. Officers are tasked with trapping the animals and relocating them — an operation as tricky as it is dangerous.

It’s time for a Gardeners' World that reflects Britain’s gardens in all their messy, realistic chaos

#Don #REACH #WHO #wildlife

Claire Ratinon | I’ll miss Monty Don, and I know I’m not alone in finding the show a balm for the soul. But this is the perfect opportunity for a shake-upIt’s finally happened. National treasure Monty Don is hanging up his TV garden shears and saying goodbye to Gardeners’ World after more than 20 years as the BBC show’s lead presenter. I’ve been a grower for more than a decade myself, and Monty has been a steady and wise omnipresence throughout my journey – especially as he’s been on the right side of contemporary gardening debates over the environment and wildlife, and the use of chemicals and peat in horticulture.That is where the overlap between our worlds of growing end, though. My modest patch of a few veg beds at the end of a small, chaotic and mostly gravelled garden is a universe away from the two-acre dreamscape that is Longmeadow, Don’s garden at his home in Herefordshire. I suspect I’m one of millions who’ve looked longingly at Monty’s remarkable space and the impressive infrastructure (not to mention hired hands!) that make it so special, and cursed the fact that such an ideal garden will never be within reach of us ordinary folk. That’s not to say that it hasn’t been a glorious setting for Monty to share his abundance of plant wisdom from, but now that the search for his replacement is presumably on, perhaps this is an opportunity for a little reimagining.Claire Ratinon is an organic food grower and writer Continue reading...

In 1982, Israel released 28 wild donkeys; 44 years later, they created a desert oasis

#ecosystem #Israel #wildlife

In an effort to rejuvenate the parched landscape of Israel's Ramon Crater, wild donkeys were brought back into the ecosystem. These resilient animals played a crucial role by creating waterholes, which became essential for desert wildlife. Additionally, their droppings helped spread acacia seeds, promoting the growth of trees. Their natural movements resulted in water-retaining depressions, significantly transforming the area's ecology into a thriving environment that has caught global attention.
