New Island
In 2020 Falklands Conservation merged with the New Island Conservation Trust, who had been careful custodians of New Island for many years. New Island is a site of excellence for nature conservation and research, and the running of this incredible island is now overseen by Falklands Conservation (incorporating the New Island Conservation Trust).

On Saturday, Watch Group members joined Peaty Pals in teaching members of the community how to make tussac plant seed bombs. During the morning, 434 seed bombs were made. These will be transported to Dyke Island where they will be used for ongoing tussac plant restoration. #restoration #conservation #wildlife #landrestoration #tussac

The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is an international certification that recognises farming practices that ensure responsible animal husbandry, good land management and equitable social welfare. Approximately half of Falkland farms have registered with the scheme over the last two years and this confers a responsibility to monitor the condition and sustainability of native pastures. 🌱
Over the last couple of weeks Falklands Conservation along with the Department of Agriculture have run training workshops to assist farmers in gaining the plant and habitat monitoring skills to meet the requirements of the scheme. This utilises two new simple pasture and habitat scoring sheets that have been jointly developed for the Falkland Islands.🇫🇰
Falklands Conservation is grateful to everyone that has attended and to The Darwin Local Initiative for providing funding.

This morning, members of the Watch Group were invited aboard the Oosterschelde to find out more about the Darwin 200 Project - a global initiative seeking to inspire the next generation of conservationists. 🌱 The children had a tour of the ship and took part in 'The World's Most Exciting Classroom' event, where they got to interact with children from around the world via a live link. 🌎Many thanks to the @darwin200_ team for hosting us! 🚢
