Habitat connectivity for landscape resilience
from Big Shift For Small Farms - Australian Agriculture and Regenerative Farming · host NSW Local Land Services
Wildlife corridors are essential for the survival of animals. They also provide additional benefits for both the environment and agricultural productivity.Unfortunately, habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation create immense challenges for animals as they struggle to reach food, water and shelter. But there are many things that landholders can do to improve habitat connectivity and increase wildlife conservation efforts. By planting more trees and creating corridors for animals, landholders contribute to landscape resilience and benefit in many ways by preventing soil erosion, improving crop pollination and providing shelter for stock.Join us in this episode as we journey through three different landscapes and learn about initiatives protecting and restoring our landscapes and natural systems, improving habitat connectivity and benefiting landholders.Thank you to our guests featured in this episode: Angie Fricker - Senior Land Services Officer with Greater Sydney LLS Garry Watterson - Landholder Gary Howling - Chief Executive Officer of the Great Eastern Ranges Paul Madden - Project Officer with Community Environment NetworkFor more information or to get involved: Hawkesbury-Nepean Landcare NetworkThe Great Eastern RangesCommunity Environment Network (CEN)Hosted by Edgars Greste and Katie MeyerProduced by Grow Love Project and hosted by NSW Local Land Services
