In less than a year, the Global Environment Facility’s Global Biodiversity Framework Fund has moved from launch to full-speed operation, approving and funding four key projects in Brazil, Gabon, and Mexico. As we approach #COP16Colombia, it’s key to understand the impact of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF) on biodiversity conservation. One notable initiative is Mexico's MEx30x30, which aims to conserve 30% of the country’s land and marine areas by 2030. With $17 million in funding, this project emphasizes inclusive management of protected areas, directly supporting Indigenous Peoples and local communities. These efforts represent a shift towards integrated and inclusive conservation strategies, showcasing how the #GBFF can facilitate meaningful investments in nature.

We are mere weeks away from the 16th United Nations Biodiversity Conference (CBD). In the face of the current global biodiversity crisis, there are big expectations for the outcomes of this year's meeting, which is being held in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet: Cali, Colombia. 📍 Governments, Indigenous leaders, business figureheads, and civil activists will gather to identify the challenges and opportunities in preserving the ecosystems on which all life depends. 🎥Four of Conservation International’s distinguished peers, Carlos Eduardo Correa Escaf, Greta Francesca Iori, Neil Vora, MD, and Monica Medina, share what they hope to see at #COP16. #COP16Colombia

AI is influencing how we allocate resources and make sustainable decisions for both people and the planet. However, the environmental impact of AI, notably it’s large energy consumption, is part of a much more complex picture. At Conservation International, we are working to ensure that AI is used in ethical, responsible, and inclusive ways—while also considering the broader implications for the environment. Featuring Ali Swanson, Conservation International Director of Technical Initiatives. #ClimateWeekNYC

🌱🌍 When we think about nature's role in climate solutions, forest protection is often top of mind—and it’s important. However, sustainable agriculture also holds immense potential to limit climate change. 🎥 Conservation International’s Patricia Zurita and Bronson Griscom share how smarter farming practices could remove billions of tons of CO2 every year while keeping food production intact. By planting trees along field boundaries, farmers can make a measurable impact and generate economic incentives without major changes to their livelihoods or income. Discover how technology is helping communities worldwide monitor the effectiveness of these sustainable efforts. #ClimateWeekNYC
