So many great speakers are joining the Indonesian government, Bloomberg, Asia Philanthropy Circle and Rare at the 'Accelerating 30x30: Inclusive Partnerships for Marine Conservation' session of the Climate Philanthropy Forum in Jakarta on Wednesday, Sept 4. Looking forward to hearing how national and local governments, private sector, NGOs and especially communities can work together to secure biodiversity and socio-economic benefits, for the ocean and for people. If you're unable to join us in Jakarta, the plenary sessions will be livestreamed at the following link on the 4th of September, from 2-6pm JKT. https://lnkd.in/gdyaaxAe Hope to see you there!

Meet the mascot that inspired our pride campaigns: Jacquot, the St. Lucia parrot. Jacquot was created by the St. Lucia forestry department and Paul Butler to inspire St Lucians to embrace the endemic bird as a national treasure. Once on the brink of extinction, the parrot's population has increased significantly since conservation efforts started in the 1970s. In 1979, Rare asked Paul to replicate the campaign strategy to mobilize other island communities to protect their birds, starting with the St. Vincent parrot. Eventually, Paul joined Rare full-time, lending his experiences in the Caribbean to creating the Pride program and writing its first blueprint for change.

It was great to partner on this case study in Fiji with International Institute for Sustainable Development and showcase how behavioral science can help to question and reframe our assumptions about people’s decision making. For climate adaptation programs to work, we need to design interventions that are grounded in an understanding of the psychological, social, and structural drivers of human actions. Read the new research by Julie Dekens, Philipe Bujold, and Kate Mannle: https://lnkd.in/gUBn6vTr
Can behavioural science help scale climate change adaptation solutions? Research shows that failure to properly engage with communities in understanding and testing the factors that influence behaviour can backfire. In Fiji, communities vulnerable to riverine erosion and flooding were given vetiver grass to plant along the riverbanks. Analysing the success of this project, our new deep dive illustrates how behavioural science can help to question and reframe our assumptions about people’s decision making.

A 2023 study published in PNAS found that soil is likely home to 59% of life on Earth—including everything from microbes to mammals—making it our singular most biodiverse habitat. More species in soil leads to healthier people: According to UN Environment Programme and FAO, the billions of organisms found in the ground help boost farm yields, improve the nutritional value of our food, and regulate our climate.

Without ever mentioning the climate crisis, Universal Pictures ‘Twisters’ acts as a powerful advocate for scientists on the front lines of extreme weather and trust in the scientific method. It also speaks to the deeply human emotional impact dangerous weather events have on our communities and repeatedly reminds us that they are becoming more common and unpredictable. Find out how this summer blockbuster is a surprise win for the climate movement from Rare’s Dr. Anirudh Tiwathia and Ellis Watamanuk: https://lnkd.in/djJeYeZj

Our latest Climate Culture Index found that American's intention to drive an electric vehicle dipped alarmingly from 36% in 2021 to under 30% in 2024. We saw an even bigger drop in the percentage of American’s considering driving an EV: from 50% in 2021 to 37% in 2024. Check out potential causes and solutions from our CEO Brett Jenks: https://lnkd.in/eaNx37Rb
