Today is #WorldMangroveDay and the Global Mangrove Alliance has released its 2024 State of the World Mangroves report. While the report finds that half of the world's mangrove provinces are threatened, there have been tremendous advances in safeguarding these vital ecosystems. The report spotlights several ways Rare is engaging and enabling local communities to protect the mangroves: 🇧🇷 In Brazil, our grassroots Green July campaign uses Local Ecological Knowledge 🇮🇩 🇧🇷 In Indonesia & Brazil, our community-led conservation approach that combines protection and sustainable management of the Community Seas 🇵🇭 In the Philippines, we are designing a parametric insurance product to build resilience in communities and better equip them to protect mangroves. Rare's Lisa Schindler Murray, Hari Kushardanto, Maura Sousa, Diane Faith Figueroa, Jacob Ashton, Tanmatra Bhanti and Emily Goodwin all contributed to the report.

What we see on TV shapes our understanding of the world around us and influences the choices we make. That's why Rare partnered with Reality of Change to assemble Hollywood studios and production companies in an advisory committee to address the climate crisis. Led by Reality of Change founder Cyle Zezo and Rare Entertainment Lab senior director Ellis Watamanuk, this partnership supports the people working on unscripted television — like reality and cooking shows — to address climate change and sustainability on screen and behind-the-scenes. In The Hollywood Reporter's special Sustainability Issue, we got to share the 30 production companies that make up our advisory committee, helping to chart the collective path forward for the industry. Our participants include 44 Blue Productions, Alfred Street Industries, APG Pictures, Back Roads Entertainment, Blind Nil, Boardwalk Pictures, Chicken Run Productions, Common Ground Studios, Critical Content, DAT's Entertainment, Intuitive Content, Lighthearted Entertainment, Inc., Magic Lemonade, Margot Station, MFP Inc, MGM Alternative, Evolution Media (an Amazon MGM Studios Company), Mission Control Media, Inc., MorningStar Entertainment, OBB Media, Scout Productions Inc., Sony Pictures Television's The Intellectual Property Corporation, Unger Media, Velvet Hammer Media (VHM), Village Roadshow Entertainment Group, Wrigley Media Group, and key executives formerly of Participant.
