In celebration of #InternationalBeaverDay, we're highlighting LTPBR - a restoration practice that often seeks to mimic or partner with beavers. 😎 Low-tech, process-based restoration (LTPBR) is the practice of implementing simple, cost-effective techniques (like building beaver mimicry structures) to restore natural stream processes that have been lost or degraded over time. LTPBR depends on the power of collaboration. 🤝 This month, we hosted a retreat in southeast Utah for the TNC-BLM Riverscapes team, a team of project managers working across 7 western states to scale up LTPBR on 150+ miles of streams in the western U.S. over the next ~4 years. 💧 Throughout the week, we visited local restoration sites, practiced our monitoring methods to track project outcomes (stream flow monitoring pictured!), and paid a visit to several local TNC preserves. The opportunity to collaborate with our partners in the field, share knowledge, and build relationships makes our work that much more impactful. 🌎 Local applications of LTPBR advance many of our broader conservation priorities across the west, including our work in the Colorado River Basin.

Decades of fire suppression have caused wildfires to become more severe, but prescribed fire turns a fire of “chance” into a fire of “choice.” Through partnership and collaboration, The Nature Conservancy is bringing back fire to restore forest health and protect communities.

Congratulations to our partners at the Jicarilla Apache Nation for being selected as a finalist for the 2025 “Honoring Nations” awards from the Harvard Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. Indigenous Peoples have been stewarding the lands and waters of the Colorado River Basin for millennia. Today, 30 Tribal Nations hold senior water rights (about 20–25% of the water in the Basin), bringing important leadership and unique perspectives in finding lasting solutions to the pressing water scarcity challenges. In 2023, a first-of-its-kind agreement was reached between the Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (ISC), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC), allowing the ISC to lease up to 20,000 acre-feet of water/year from the Nation to benefit both nature and people. We are so proud to be a part of the historic project which is now recognized by the Harvard Project on Indigenous Governance and Development.

Hope springs from water. Our planet’s lakes, rivers, wetlands and groundwaters support biodiversity, shape cultures and economies, deliver water for drinking, to grow our food, and so much more. On this #worldwaterday, I encourage you to consider the ways in which water touches your life and our future too, and what more we can do together. While I often point out that these systems need our attention because they are in trouble and continually undervalued, experiencing greater declines in health and biodiversity than any other biome, they are also places of wonder and movement, offering us opportunities for reflection, resilience, and hope. I am proud of our work at The Nature Conservancy, as we push at unprecedented scales to protect and restore the freshwater systems that support all life on Earth. The variety of systems we touch is astounding - from springs high in the Rocky Mountains, to the chalk chalk streams of Norfolk (England), and the indomitable Amazon River (my location today) to name a few. The magic comes though when we work together for impact. This is hope. Check out the embedded video for a spark of hope.

Why should you care about World Water Day today? Here's one reason - meet the razorback sucker. 🐟 This fish has thrived in the Colorado River for millions of years – until recent decades. Just a few years ago, only six razorback sucker fish larvae were recorded at The Nature Conservancy’s Scott and Norma Matheson Preserve in Moab, Utah. In 2023, over 50 larvae were discovered on the property’s fish nursery. Discover how TNC’s fish nursery is providing endangered juvenile fish the protection to grow and mature into their next phase of life, without predation from non-native fish: https://lnkd.in/e2HrNjJc
