It's #WorldWildlifeDay! Ensuring healthy habitat for wildlife is one of the many reasons why conserving land, protecting water and taking climate action are so important to the well-being of animals, plants and people. Explore four unique ecosystems in Idaho and discover some of the iconic—and underrated—species that call these habitats home and the conservation work that helps them ➡️ https://nature.ly/48yINUI

There's loads of great science and data that explains the current state of the environment. Working in Defra has really shone a light on this and the impacts we're having on our planet as well as how passionate people, individually and across numerous organisations are coming together to try and do something about it. It's both scary and gives hope. The report provides an insight into that, but if you only have 2 minutes there are some key points.... * The value of nature for our survival, prosperity and wellbeing – nature loss harms human health and undermines our economic security. * We need to go high nature and low carbon to tackle the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change together. * We need to work together – nature’s decline affects us all. By working together, we can better help nature recover. * It’s not too late, provided we act now – time is running out, and what happens in the next few years is critical, but nature recovery remains within our grasp."

This year, #WorldWildlifeDay highlights the importance of #DigitalInnovation for driving wildlife conservation and #ConnectingPeopleAndPlanet. In order to help protect the environment, including wildlife and those communities reliant on biodiversity-based resources to subsist, the #MinamataConvention has put forward a digital strategy that further supports Parties in their work to #MakeMercuryHistory. Learn more about the Convention's digital strategy, adopted last year at #MinamataCOP5: https://lnkd.in/db-uUvDE

Let's confer about Elephas maximus otherwise known as Asian Elephants 🐘 and why they matter according to WWF. 1. A future for Asian elephants ensures a future for other species and wild spaces. By protecting elephants, we also protect other animals that live in their habitat. 2. Asian elephants help to maintain the integrity of forest and grassland habitats. Their large size enables the creation of pathways through dense forests along which they travel, which then creates access for other wildlife. 3. Asian elephants may spend up to 19 hours a day feeding, and they can produce about 220 pounds of dung per day while wandering around an area that can cover up to 125 square miles. This helps to disperse germinating seeds. Let's save the elephants.

It’s #WorldHabitatDay! 💧🌱🌸 Freshwater wildlife needs high quality, unpolluted habitats. Together, our streams, ponds, wetlands, lakes, rivers and ditches create a network that supports wildlife – and is essential for our own wellbeing. Small waterbodies, like ponds and small streams, are often overlooked. But a growing body of evidence – including our own research – shows how vital these freshwaters are for wildlife. Find out how we’re creating, restoring and protecting high quality habitats to reverse the decline in freshwater biodiversity: https://lnkd.in/e7MWEVQD
