The Land and Water Conservation Fund, Explained
In this video, I'll give a brief overview of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, how it works, how money is placed into the fund, and why it is so important for conservation projects across the United States.
The Great American Outdoors Act is transformational for our National Parks, Forests, Wildlife Refuges, and other protected areas. A key component of this transformation is fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a staple of funding for conservation projects since 1965.
If you want to learn more about the LWCF, you can find more information in this report from the Congressional Research Service: https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL33531.html
Do you have a story or know of a project that the LWCF helped to fund? I'd love to hear about it! Leave it in the comments...

The Conservation Fund: A Story of Progress

The Conservation Fund is working to change that story.
The Conservation Fund is a national nonprofit organization operating across all 50 states, chartered for both conservation and economic development. Their vision is to accelerate conservation in a smart way, creating solutions that make environmental and economic sense.

How Do Veterinarians Support Species Conservation
Habitat loss, poaching, and climate change are among the leading drivers of global biodiversity decline – and also some of the primary threats currently facing cheetahs in the wild. In the face of these threats, veterinary professionals are uniquely positioned to help address the multifaceted threats facing cheetahs, and other wildlife. With their background knowledge and professional skills, CCF’s veterinarians assist with wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and rewildling initiatives. Veterinarians in Namibia and Somaliland also contribute to the global body of knowledge on cheetahs, collecting samples during veterinary exams and procedures that help to provide a better understanding of the biology, behavior, and ecological needs of cheetahs.
However, these medical professionals can also...

Habitat loss, poaching, and climate change are among the leading drivers of global biodiversity decline – and also some of the primary threats currently facing cheetahs in the wild. In the face of these threats, veterinary professionals are uniquely positioned to help address the multifaceted threats facing cheetahs, and other wildlife. With their background knowledge and professional skills, CCF’s veterinarians assist with wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and rewildling initiatives. Veterinarians in Namibia and Somaliland also contribute to the global body of knowledge on cheetahs, collecting samples during veterinary exams and procedures that help to provide a better understanding of the biology, behavior, and ecological needs of cheetahs.
However, these medical professionals can also use their knowledge and expertise to provide valuable training and educational outreach. Last month in Somaliland, Dr. Zuhur Mohamoud Abdullahi, a veterinarian from the Ministry of Livestock and Rural Development teamed up with CCF as a Future Farmers of Africa (FFA) trainer/educator under the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) – funded by the Legal Intelligence/Cheetah Illicit Trade (LICIT) second phase project. Offered in Somaliland’s pastoral Adwal Region, where animal health is critical to the livelihood of local communities, the training covered a range of topics pertaining to livestock health, such as nutrition, medications, disease identification, and housing. Focused on the livelihoods of local communities, Dr. Zuhur’s training showcased livestock management techniques designed to promote enhanced economic stability and coexistence with wildlife, in support of broader conservation efforts in the region.
