🌳ESPEC is the member of the #30by30 Alliance for Biodiversity to conserve and protect at least 30% of the land and ocean areas by 2030, which is a coalition of companies, non-profit organizations and the #MOE. In 2023, our Bambi-no-Sato at Kobe R&D center was certified as a “Natural Symbiosis Site” by MOE and now it is a great honor to announce that our site has been registered in the #international database of #OECM (Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures). As outlined in the 8th Mid-Term Plan on the Environment (FY 2022 to 2025), ESPEC will make a big effort to promote initiatives aimed at protecting biodiversity from any potential impact resulting from our business activities.

The world recently celebrated International Day of Forests, to raise #awareness about the importance of #forest ecosystems. With the increasing focus on #biodiversity, forests will continue to rise in prominence as gatekeepers for preserving the world's increasingly #frail biodiversity. On this week's #sustainability top-tip, let's discuss what you can do to support forest ecosystems: 1. Save #Paper! 2. Reduce #packaging and re-use cartons and boxes. 3. Plant #native trees and nurture them to maturity. 4. Support #conservation efforts through #volunteering and donations. 5. Help #educate others about the importance of #preserving forests. Help #protect the #greenlungs of our planet! Play your part in protecting and preserving #forests for #future #generations! #sustainabilitytoptips #sustainability #nature #forests #worlddayofforests #biodiversity #conservation #internationaldayofforests #Rome #ecosystems

Was great to moderate a panel on Financing Biodiversity Practice at the #WorldSpeciesCongress organized by #Reversethered. We had an interesting discussion with Jan Yoshioka from Conservation International, Kevin Tan from Tri-Sector Associates and Tom Quigley from Superorganism. The recording will eventually be available. But a point form summary: - We know what to do and where, but dont have the funding to get it done. - Traditional sources of philanthropy and governments needs to focus on leveraging and unlocking private sector funding. - Private sector funding sources can benefit from technology in deciding where to send their funds. Much more insights from the panellists, when the recording becomes available. https://lnkd.in/epqMdY96 #Reversethered #RTR #wsc #SCeNE BirdLife International

Our Director, Mark Eigenraam is attending this conference today - *From offsetting to nature positive* Key takeaways from the keynote by Graeme Samuel AC: 🌳 ‘I won’t use the word biodiversity, no one really understands it, I use the word “Nature”’ 🌳We need to catch up and have nature understood in the same way as climate, by society in general.  🌳Green washing is being misleading and deceptive. But it is not about talking about what you are doing, so don’t be afraid to speak out about the real and good work you are doing 🌳This can lead to ‘green hushing’ – some believe that it’s better you don’t talk about nature, then you cant be accused of green washing – just keep quiet On offsets: 👉 Haven’t worked in the past 👉 Led to a decline in nature 👉Restoration offsets reasonably effective, straight offsets have been nonsense 👉‘Like for like’ is needed for nature #NBOC24 #BiodiversityOffsets #NaturePositive #EnvironmentConference

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Today, we celebrate the remarkable strides made in agricultural innovation, thanks to robust systems like the EU's Community Plant Variety Rights (CPVO). 🌻🔒 🌿 The CPVO plays a critical role in promoting sustainable agriculture across Europe by ensuring that new and innovative plant varieties are protected and flourish. By fostering such biodiversity, the CPVO supports the European Green Deal, driving towards a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector. 👩🌾 European breeders, empowered by a secure system of plant variety protection, continue to bring forward varieties that can withstand changing climates and support food security for all of us. It's a testament to how targeted policies and cooperation can lead to tangible environmental benefits. 🌾 Each protected plant variety helps in building a sustainable agricultural landscape that is resilient to pests, diseases, and climate change—crucial steps toward a sustainable future for all. Every plant variety protected is a step towards a greener future! 💚 #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability #Agriculture #Biodiversity #PlantVarietyProtection #InnovationInFarming #CPVO

🌍 International Day of Biological Diversity 2024 🌿 This year's theme, "Be Part of the Plan", is a powerful call to action for everyone. Our mission is clear: we must halt and reverse biodiversity loss by supporting the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, also known as The Biodiversity Plan. Biodiversity is the cornerstone of life on Earth. It underpins our ecosystems, supports our food security, and sustains our natural resources. Yet, it's under threat as never before. Join us in making a difference: - Support sustainable practices in your community and advocate for policies that protect our natural habitats. - Get involved in local conservation efforts, whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness. - Educate yourself and others about the critical importance of biodiversity and how we can protect it. Together, we can ensure a thriving planet for future generations. Let's make a commitment to Be Part of the Plan. 🌱 #BiodiversityDay #BePartOfThePlan #Biodiversity2024 #Conservation #SustainableFuture #KunmingMontrealFramework

As more industries developed, we started realizing that they have some drawbacks too. For instance, they can cause pollution, lead to deforestation, and excessive consumption of resources. Gifford's vision was centered around the idea of "the greatest good for the greatest number over the long term," a philosophy that has resonated through the decades and continues to influence contemporary sustainability practices. VUPICO shares the same vision in its commitment to obtaining accurate data for innovation and environmental conservation.

The start of mandatory “biodiversity net gain” for new developments in England this week is an important step towards protecting and restoring nature. As an environmental charity based in Oxfordshire that pioneered the UK’s first biodiversity offset in 2013, transforming degraded chalk grassland, we welcome these new requirements on developers. They're a step in the right direction, but will the mandatory 10% constitute a genuine “net gain”? Read more about the promise, and limits, of biodiversity net gain and how its success depends on national and local policy choices in the months ahead 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8spbeq9
