Los parques nacionales son esenciales para preservar la #biodiversidad y mantener los #ecosistemas que sostienen la vida. El Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de #Manacacías, recientemente creado en Colombia, es un ejemplo de esta vital labor. Con 68.000 hectáreas, protege un corredor crítico que conecta la #Orinoquía y el #Amazonas, resguardando seis ecosistemas únicos y una biodiversidad incomparable, incluyendo casi una cuarta parte de todas las especies de aves de Colombia. Incluso el The New York Times celebró la creación de este parque nombrándolo "Un triunfo para la conservación" y luego le dedicó este artículo: https://lnkd.in/g9CTwYvn #Colombia, el segundo país más biodiverso del mundo, juega un papel crucial en el objetivo global de proteger el 30% de los hábitats del planeta para 2030. La creación de Manacacías es un paso significativo hacia ese compromiso, alcanzado gracias a la colaboración entre comunidades locales, instituciones nacionales y aliados internacionales como The Nature Conservancy. Este nuevo parque no solo protege especies, sino que también muestra cómo las naciones pueden cumplir con sus compromisos globales para conservar nuestro planeta. En el día internacional de los #ParquesNacionales, descubre más sobre Manacacías en este artículo de nuestra revista Nature Conservancy Magazine (en inglés) https://lnkd.in/dnK8txfp

The pollution that drives climate change is also present in the air we breathe—watch to learn how it affects our health and what we can do. With a goal of exploring important climate topics and what can be done to support each other and future generations, these Climate Shorts clips are made in collaboration between The Nature Conservancy in Washington and Stacy Nguyen.

“I always say conservation … truly, it saved my soul. It’s part of my heritage and part of my faith. I feel a big responsibility of sharing that and helping others. That’s all I have left to offer in life.” From a young boy, Grant Victor remembers the lessons his grandfather taught him about caring for the land. The flourishing vista on his farm in Oklahoma is the reward for decades of patient work using regenerative agriculture and ranching practices. When he wanted to take his land stewardship to the next level, he turned to the Farm Bill which provided funding to drill wells, install fencing for rotational grazing that helps keep grasslands healthy and convert 600 acres of erosion-prone land to pasture stocked with native grasses. Now, he’s committed to teaching other farmers and ranchers how conservation can benefit them and their land. Read more on his story here: https://nature.ly/3Xed3lm

The largest blackwater swamp in America, the Okefenokee, is a bastion of biodiversity and a milestone for early 20th century conservation. Now the swamp is under threat from a potential mineral mining project on its edges. Read the full story in the latest issue of Nature Conservancy magazine. 📸 David Walter Banks https://nature.ly/3Xf0yWM

🦈 TIP OFF A “shiver” of blacktip reef sharks laze in an Indian Ocean lagoon. Starting in the late 1900s, countries around the world began prohibiting shark “finning,” the practice of catching sharks, slicing off their fins and dumping their (often still living) bodies back in the water. The fins were dried and sold to make soup. Despite a tenfold increase in protective regulations since 2000, a global analysis of shark mortality from fishing finds that these efforts have not been enough to curb the exploitation of sharks. “The unsustainable fi shing of sharks is a global problem of staggering proportions,” says Darcy Bradley, a lead ocean scientist for The Nature Conservancy in California. She co-authored the study, published in Science, which finds shark mortality increased from 76 million to 80 million sharks per year between 2012 and 2019—with more than 30% of these catches involving species threatened with extinction. “Most regulations were designed to prevent shark finning specifically, not shark fi shing, so they failed to reduce mortality overall,” says Bradley. But there is some positive news: The study shows that in countries with shark sanctuaries, like the Bahamas and the Maldives, shark-fi shing mortality is relatively low, likely allowing shark populations to recover and thrive. 💪 📸 Thomas P.

This World Photography Day, dive into the stories of young conservationists who are using photography to shed light on critical environmental issues. Former extern Juan Francisco Suescún investigated the challenges facing Isla Fuerte’s native fisheries and the rapid decline of sea life. Through his lens, he captured the intricate relationship between the island community and the reef ecosystem they economically depend on. “I’ve always loved documentary photography, and this gave me an opportunity to apply it to an issue that I really cared about,” says Juan Francisco Suescún. Juan’s efforts have gone on to protect the food security of more than 100 families on Isla Fuerte. Explore his story and the efforts of other young conservationists below.
