Taking action for a sustainable future. Our mission to encourage great leadership with great people also includes taking responsibility to protect our planet as best as possible for future generations. We believe in not only raising awareness about environmental issues but also actively contributing to positive change. That is why we have become a proud tree partner of the Trees for All foundation: https://lnkd.in/gv8Ekhb8. Without trees there is no life. That is why the Trees for All foundation plants new forests worldwide, restores degraded forests and makes people aware of the importance of trees. In partnership with Trees for All, we’ve donated and planted 200 trees worldwide in two projects in the Netherlands and Mexico. We have entered this collaboration for the next three years and it fits perfectly with our mission in encouraging great leadership. Let’s celebrate the beauty of our planet and our commitment to protecting it. #meaningfulimpact

Did you spot us at Keble College, Oxford during the Conservation Optimism summit? 👀 Our COO, Dr. C Elizabeth (Lizzie) Webber, attended the summit together with over 200 conservationists and enthusiasts from all over the world! The summit, now on its third iteration, brings together experts to share information and skills to participants. The organization aims to build a community that thrives on unity, drawing strength, resilience, and purpose from the commitment to conservation. 🌱 "One of the key takeaways that really resonated with me was hearing the Welsh phrase "Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd," meaning "do the little things in life." It’s a powerful reminder that each of us can make a difference by focusing on our part in the bigger picture—find your thing and do it well. Whether it’s facilitating human-wildlife coexistence and supporting community stewardship, providing evidence for conservation actions, empowering our actions by embracing our emotions or improving biodiversity and sustainable sourcing in business —ask yourself, what am I responsible for?" - Dr. Lizzie Webber #TrunksandLeaves #COSummit24 #HopeForTheFuture #NatureConservation #AsianElephant #Elephant #Nonprofit #WildlifeNonProfit #GlobalConservation

✨ Join us for an upcoming webinar! ✨ Register now: https://lnkd.in/dzH_sVn6 Philanthropy has faced its fair share of critiques, with important questions being raised about philanthropic wealth and how decision-making structures are far removed from the communities it supports. Despite their direct role and impact in biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation, less than 2.9% of philanthropic funding reaches Indigenous and local communities directly. Unlike previous efforts to ‘shift power’ by including Indigenous Peoples in decision-making, Indigenous-led funds represent an even deeper example of shifting decision-making directly into the hands of social movements. What are the challenges and opportunities to this method of shifting power?

🌿At Biota Nexus, we understand that reliance on traditional philanthropy isn't enough. Watch this clip from Orlando Vargas Ramírez at the Organization for Tropical Studies, discussing the crucial role of NGO partnerships like the one with FUNDECOR in advancing our environmental goals. 🤝 In alliance with FUNDECOR, we transcend the conventional and rewrite the narrative to extend beyond traditional donations. FUNDECOR's deep understanding of the region’s ecosystems and communities enables us to create tailored solutions that address the unique needs of local landowners – designing a #sustainable and #responsible blueprint that creates positive social, economic, and #environmental impact. It's about building a resilient future through sustainable partnerships with #transparent, #traceable, and #credible initiatives. 🌍 Together, we're not just nurturing #biodiversity but cultivating a legacy of environmental resilience. #BiodiversityPartnership #SustainableFuture #FUNDECOR #naturebasedsolutions #nature #costarica Mario A Piedra

💡It's about creating sustainable funding. While dedicated land stewards work tirelessly to preserve our natural heritage, their efforts hang in the balance, heavily reliant on the unpredictable stream of philanthropic donations. This uncertainty poses a significant threat to ongoing conservation projects, making the role of initiatives like BIOTA NEXUS and FUNDECOR in securing consistent funding not just beneficial, but essential for the future of our planet. #conservation #biodiversity #nature #naturebasedsolutions #philanthropy #enviornment #CostaRica #biodiversitycredits Organization for Tropical Studies

Conserving and protecting our natural environment is a very important area of community need. The environment is a network of living things, and it is fundamental for sustaining life in our community. According to the City of Guelph’s 2023 Environmental Sustainability Report, 22% of Guelph’s total land area is made up of natural heritage systems and urban forests. These systems include a variety of environmental features: 31% streams and valleys; 30% linkages, landform, wildlife habitat and restoration areas; and 39% woodlands and wetlands. All these environmental systems come together to support life and biodiversity in our community. For example, these environmental features help reduce pollutants in the air and water, support wildlife and plant lifecycles, promote health and wellness, and act as natural cooling systems. Throughout Guelph and surrounding areas, there are many charities and non-profit organizations working to protect and conserve the environment. If the environment is an area of community need that you are interested in supporting philanthropically, consider working with the Guelph Community Foundation to contribute to a related fund – or start your own environmental conservation-oriented fund. We offer several types of funds that will allow you to be as specific or broad as you would like in what you would like to support in environmental protection! #GuelphCommunityFoundation #GCF #Environment #Conservation #Guelph #Philanthropy

Transforming Our Future with ESG 🌱 Today at Spencer Ogden, as we acknowledge Global Turtle Day 🐢, we're reminded of the delicate balance within our ecosystems and how our actions reverberate through the environment. #GlobalTurtleDay isn't just about these ancient mariners; it's a call to step up our ESG objectives. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aren't just buzzwords—they're the pillars guiding us towards a sustainable future. As we embark on this journey, we've committed to three core objectives: 1. Minimise our Carbon Footprint 🌍 - We're reducing energy usage and waste in every office, reminding us that small changes aggregate into significant impacts. 2. Empower Communities 🤝 - Through local partnerships and volunteering, we're not just fostering change; we're part of it. 3. Uphold Transparency ✨ - We believe in the power of openness, providing clear ESG metrics and progress reports to all stakeholders. This Global Turtle Day, let's channel the steadfast perseverance of turtles as we strive to create a greener, more equitable world. Every step we take echoes through our global community and across our shared home. I personally support the Sayulita Turtle Camp in Mexico. A local charity supporting the preservation of Olive Ridley Turtles. I have included their donation link if you want to join me in supporting them. What are your ideas for driving ESG initiatives forward? Drop a comment below! 🌟 #ESG #Sustainability #FutureIsNow

We’ve partnered with @onetreeplanted to plant trees!
