The Nature Conservancy in Idaho is working to advance responsible clean energy development that avoids impacts to the most important natural and working lands, and benefits communities. In February 2024, we conducted a poll of 500 likely voters across the State to better understand how Idaho voters view clean energy—and found that 64% of Idahoans agree that we can increase the production of clean energy while preserving natural areas, wildlife habitat and the character of our communities.

Right now, Congress is considering the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act, federal legislation which would boost conservation worldwide and be a win-win for nature, wildlife and communities. Here’s why: 🐘 Scientists estimate we could lose half of all species by 2050 unless we act now. By conserving and restoring the habitats that species call home, this legislation would protect threatened plants and animals. 🤝 $100 million every year would go towards supporting local communities and Indigenous Peoples around the world who manage protected and conserved areas helping to bridge a longstanding gap in international conservation funding. 🏛️ This bill would stretch government dollars even further by incentivizing millions in private and philanthropic funding, because solving the habitat and species loss crises will require everyone. 🌎 Evidence shows that political stability depends on the stability of the natural world. By safeguarding lands and waters worldwide, the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act would promote U.S. and global security and stability. Learn how you can support and more about this important bill: https://lnkd.in/exGMykxV

We love seeing everyone's nature summer adventures—but there are some things to keep in mind if we want use social media without harming nature. 🚶♂️Stay on the Trail: It might mean you can’t get your ideal shot, but it keeps delicate plants safe. 📸Stop Geotagging & Scrub GPS Data: A good practice is to choose a generic geographic marker (Grand Teton National Park) instead of the specific place (Delta Lake). 🐻Give Wildlife A Wide Berth: Be smart around wildlife. Read local warning signs, take their instructions seriously, and don’t underestimate familiar species. Don’t use a bright flash or play sounds to attract an animal to you. And never touch or feed wildlife, even if they beg. 🌑Don't Move Rocks: Stacks can disrupt fish passage, destroy stream macroinvertebrate habitat, or exposes soil and facilitates erosion. Random rock towers can also confuse hikers, who can easily mistake them for genuine trail markers and get lost. 🤳 More than 250 people died while taking a selfie from 2011 to 2017. Be hyper vigilant in high places or around geothermal areas. Keep in mind that wet rock can be slippery, and not all cliff faces are stable. 🔗Read the full article on TNC's Cool Green Science Blog: https://nature.ly/4evDDwM
