One thing I learnt is that Biodiversity keeps the ecosystems stable, is a source of clean air and water. We need not just to protect our rich biodiversity from extinction but to safeguard it. #BioverseNG @BioverseNG

Today, 27 of the world’s largest nature conservation organizations, institutes, business and finance coalitions have come together to launch a new initiative to drive alignment and synergies across a multitude of actors who will advocate, support and implement actions towards a nature-positive outcome of halting and reversing nature loss by 2030. 'Nature positive by 2030’ refers to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 from a 2020 baseline, through measurable gains in the health, abundance, diversity and resilience of species, ecosystems, and natural processes. #naturepositive https://lnkd.in/gfZkja2e

On International Day of Forests, let's remember the vital role forests play in sustaining life on Earth. Protecting these green havens is crucial for biodiversity. #IntlForestDay #SaveOurForests #ForestDay

#CMSCOP14 | Wetlands are central to human survival and home to 40% of the world’s biodiversity, yet about 87% of wetlands have been lost globally in the last 300 years and 54% since 1900. This transformation is undermining the ecological functions of the remaining habitat by preventing free movement of species and promoting biodiversity loss. As they continue to be degraded the essential ecosystem services they provide to people and species diminish. ➡ https://lnkd.in/ePDwYPnt #WetlandConservation #WetlandsMatter

"𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮 𝗞𝗣𝗜 (Key Performance Indicator)" is the motto of Treemore CEO Maarten Van den Berg. "It is the quality and quantity of ecosystems that form the core of a resilient planet. Yet, species extinction and habitat loss remain the greatest challenges of our time. Currently, 46 percent of the world's land surface, which was once covered with forests and natural grasslands, has been transformed into intensive agriculture and monoculture.” Read the full article here (in Dutch) and join us in making greener choices! https://lnkd.in/eNEU43Rv #biodiversity #ecosystemresilience #trees #ecoystemrestoration

Biodiversity is the delicate web of life on Earth, encompassing all living things and their ecosystems. Unfortunately, human actions often disrupt this balance, leading to devastating consequences. For instance, a bird sat devotedly on her eggs, incubating the next generation, only to be tragically killed in a fire sparked by human activity, such as a wheat field burning out of control. This heart-wrenching example illustrates the far-reaching impact of human actions on the natural world, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable practices and conservation efforts to protect our planet's precious biodiversity. #savethenature #savethebiodiversity #savethelife #savetheecosystem

Biodiversity credits have been gaining interest globally in recent years amid a surge of efforts to scale financing for nature 💰🌳 #BiodiversityCredits allow private companies to finance activities, such as forest conservation or restoration, that deliver net positive biodiversity gains. A critical tool if the world expects to shrink the $700 billion annual hashtag#biodiversity spending gap. See what the current landscape of this budding sector looks like ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3wRodS9

Working Group 2 of the UN FAO’s International Network on Soil Biodiversity (NETSOB). We’ve created a survey to assess current work and research on soil management practices that improve or preserve soil biodiversity. Are you involved in an applied soil management research project or study evaluating soil biodiversity? Your insights are invaluable to us. Could you kindly share your information with us? Please take this survey. https://lnkd.in/gkzGrFAs Do you know of anyone or any organization evaluating soil biodiversity's response to soil management practices? Please share the link.

Food security depends on the protection of soil biodiversity! Our soils are a living resource and Home to more than 25% of the planet's biodiversity.

### Benefits of Healthy Soils 🌱 1. **Healthy Food Production:** Soils are the foundation for growing nutritious food. 2. **Biodiversity:** They host a quarter of the planet's biodiversity. 3. **Climate Change:** Soils help in combating and adapting to climate change. 4. **Food Security:** Essential for ensuring food security. 5. **Water Management:** Soils store and filter water, vital for ecosystems. #HealthySoils #SustainableAgriculture #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity #WaterManagement 🌍🌾💧
