What do you owe to the 80s? For us, it's not perms or Duran Duran but the start of our involvement in giant panda conservation in China. 💚 🐼 In 1980, we broke new ground as the first international conservation organisation invited by the Chinese Government to carry out fieldwork in China. 🐼 With WWF’s support, this early research has given us incredible insights into these iconic animals—how they live, their ecology, and their needs. This knowledge continues to guide our conservation efforts today! Roll back in time and discover the full story of giant panda conservation. 👇 https://brnw.ch/21wRmk9

How are our UK supporters helping save China’s snow leopards? 🐆 With support from the UK, WWF-China has been working on snow leopard conservation for nearly 10 years.🐾 China is home to 60% of the world’s snow leopards, but their vast, high-altitude habitats make research challenging. Only 3% of global snow leopard habitats have been scientifically surveyed, making it difficult to establish targeted conservation measures. By backing these efforts, UK supporters are helping gather crucial data to safeguard these endangered big cats. 🏔️

Following the fires of 2024, WWF Bolivia supported renewed jaguar monitoring to answer important questions on the fate of the felines in Chiquitanía.

🚨 Our latest statement on the collision between an oil tanker and cargo vessel off the East Yorkshire coast. 🚨 Our thoughts are with everyone immediately involved in the accident and the emergency response operation. Along with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, we are deeply concerned about the potential impact that resulting pollution could have on internationally important seabird colonies such as, grey seals and the wealth of other marine life such as harbour porpoise, fish and minke whale that live beneath the waves. 🔗 Find out more https://lnkd.in/eVQtXezD

A whale of a win for Wales! 🌊🌱 Thanks to Seagrass Network Cymru, Wales now has its first-ever National Seagrass Action Plan - an ambitious programme to protect and restore seagrass in Wales. “Seagrass meadows are vital for supporting biodiversity, communities, and food security all while mitigating the growing impacts of climate change. We look forward to working with Welsh Government to implement the National Seagrass Action Plan over the next 5 years which is crucial to achieve a vision where seagrass meadows are recovering and thriving.” - Penny Nelson, Ocean Recovery Advocacy and Policy Lead at WWF Cymru.

Big news: The UN Biodiversity conference (COP16.2) just wrapped up, and countries have agreed on a plan to fund nature restoration through 2030 and beyond. This is a big step forward to conserve nature, restore ecosystems, and ensure funding reaches those who need it most. But the hard work starts now. We still need developed countries to follow through on their promise to provide $20B by 2025 to support global biodiversity efforts. Now is the time to turn promises into action. #COP16
