The Caribbean is a globally renowned biodiversity hotspot. Throughout its network of Small Island Developing States, the unique biological, economic and cultural fabric of the region must be protected. It's crucial to prioritize the enhancement of marine managed areas (MMAs) to meet the science-based 30x30 target. Yet real impact requires the whole region to play its part—collaboration is key. At the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF), we’re working together throughout the region and surrounding territories unifying support with strategic partners, governments, public and private sector, and local communities to achieve 30x30 goals. #30x30 #BiodiversityConservation #CaribbeanConservation #MarineConservation #BiodiversityFramework

🌿 The Team France - @France in Fiji Agence Française de Développement - AFD - dans l'océan Pacifique Expertise France is delighted to see and support the implementation of the BIODEV2030 phase 2 project that is being implemented by IUCN Oceania in #Fiji. 🌿 The BIODEV2030 phase 2 project is on a mission to align development with biodiversity, supporting the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in Fiji. This initiative focuses on preserving biodiversity in key sectors such as kava and coastal fisheries, ensuring sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and local communities. Together, we are fostering nature-based solutions to safeguard Fiji’s rich biodiversity and support sustainable development. 🤝 #BIODEV2030 #NaturebasedSolutions #Biodiversity #Sustainability

At less than 1% of South African land cover, forests represent our smallest and most fragmented biome, yet their significance in fostering biodiversity and human well-being is disproportionate. Afrotemperate forests are our oldest forest ecosystems and vital reservoirs of unique and endemic species. As a signatory of the Convention on Biological Diversity, South Africa is committed to aligning with The Biodiversity Plan - a global action plan to halt biodiversity loss and preserve life on earth. "Be part of the Plan" is the theme for International Day of Biodiversity (IDB) in 2024, reminding us of the urgent need for collective action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. At CPP, we are proud to be a part of the plan, with our work directly contributing to Goal A, which aims to maintain, enhance, and restore the integrity, connectivity, and resilience of ecosystems; decrease extinction rates; and increase native biodiversity. 🌳🦜 📷: Zander Janzen van Rensburg

Squeezed into just 5% of their former range, Asian #elephants are key witnesses of the loss of habitat and biodiversity. 🐘 This is especially true for Asian elephants in #SoutheastAsia and #China — only 8,000 - 11,000 wild elephants remain across eight countries, and urgent action is needed to conserve them. That’s why WWF launched the #EllyAllies regional initiative in 2023, with the mission to halt these alarming regional population declines and create an environment of sustainable coexistence with humans.

🐘🌼🐞 The 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, celebrated annually on May 22nd, serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world. This year, the theme "𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻" underscores the global call to action to protect and restore biodiversity. With the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, nations have committed to concrete measures to halt and reverse the loss of nature by 2050. As we approach the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 16) in Colombia, it's imperative that governments, indigenous communities, NGOs, businesses, and individuals come together to support the implementation of the Biodiversity Plan.   SETIN has been engaged in many assignments addressing biological diversity resources, ecosystems services and biodiversity loss in Europe, Africa, South-East Asia and Pacific. Everyone has a role to play and therefore can 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻. At SETIN, we are #PartOfThePLan.

On this #InternationalDayforBiologicalDiversity, Caritas stresses the importance of biodiversity as a shared global asset that necessitates collective dedication.

Rémy Cointreau believes in the butterfly effect 🦋….that “small” actions can make a difference, in particular if we join forces with other committed stakeholders!   We are proud to share this beautiful video, produced by our partner WWF México, that explains the magic around monarch butterflies - its positive impact on the local community and its annual 4500km migration from Mexico to Canada – but also the urgent need to preserve them (they have entered the IUCN Red List in July 2022) in the face of climate change.   Concretely: - In 2023, 80,500 tree plants have been produced with the financial support of Rémy Cointreau and another 80,000 will be grown in 2024 🌱. - 75 hectares of the Michoacan forest (where monarchs are wintering) have been restored and another 80 hectares will be restored in 2024 🌳. - Finally, a dozen of pollinator gardens will be established in the Monarch Butterfly Flyway in the coming years 🐞.   #sustainableexception #butterflyregenerationprogram

Spreading the importance of biodiversity and nature-based alternatives, I had the honor of presenting the results of our project "Fomenting the Socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLs) milpa (three sisters) through in situ landrace maize seed protection", together with Bayezid Khan (Bangladesh), Alice JJ HSU (Taiwan) and Edesa Dese Yedeta (Ethiopia) all with important contributions supported by The International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) https://lnkd.in/gxKhtDD4
