"Policies that improve animal welfare, such as the promotion of sustainable diets and enabling food environments, shifting production practices, and protecting wildlife and ecosystems, can be key tools in achieving food security, climate, and biodiversity objectives." – Jessica Smith Bridgers and Amelia Linn, Mercy For Animals for International Institute for Sustainable Development A timely commentary on the nexus between animal welfare and SDGs 2 and 13, reviewed this year by the High-Level Political Forum on #SustainableDevelopment. https://lnkd.in/ejGDkeGD

Today as we celebrate 🌍World Aquatic Animal Day💦 let’s take a moment to understand and appreciate the unfathomable diversity that falls within the scope of ‘aquatic life’. 🐠 Going far beyond fish, it includes the majestic whales 🐳, playful dolphins 🐬, turtles, vibrant corals, mollusks and crustaceans of the oceans and the freshwater megafauna like hippos 🦛, as well as crocodiles 🐊, birds 🦅 and amphibians 🐸 of our rivers and wetlands. The extent of aquatic biodiversity is virtually endless and the single biggest threat to all aquatic life is loss of habitat due to various forms of pollution. It is up to all of us to protect and conserve these invaluable ecosystems, ensuring a brighter future for all types of aquatic life as well as our own health and well-being. The solution is within our grasp. Join us as we pledge to do everything possible to safeguard these vital aquatic habitats for generations to come. 🌿💧💙 #WildTomorrow #WorldAquaticAnimalDay #ProtectOurEcosystems #ProtectRestoreRewild #AquaticConservation #Aquaticlife

Earth Day is coming up soon, a day that supports environmental protection. I thought I would remind us of this important day and cause with the red panda - one of my favourite animals. The red panda is largely endangered due to the loss of the forests that it lives in which provide shelter and food. Let's make positive change and strive for harmony. Find out what you can do and start today. #redpanda #wildlifeart #natureart #animalportrait

Healthy oceans are crucial for wetland ecosystems and biodiversity. 🌊 On #WorldOceansDay, let's commit to conserving coastal and marine wetlands, which support marine life and protect our shorelines. These efforts are essential for sustaining fisheries, mitigating climate change, and preserving the natural beauty of our planet. #WetlandConservation #WetlandsMatter

🌍🦁 Happy National Wildlife Day in the U.S.! Today, we celebrate the incredible diversity of nature and the invaluable role of wildlife in our ecosystem. 🌿 ⚠️ Did you know? Improper medical waste disposal not only pollutes the environment but also creates a dangerous breeding ground for zoonotic diseases, posing risks to both animals and humans. 💡 The solution? Safe and eco-friendly disposal methods are crucial in preventing the spread of diseases across species. By acting responsibly, we protect wildlife, our health, and our future. 🤝 Let’s work together to ensure timely and proper medical waste disposal to keep our ecosystems in harmony and protect biodiversity for generations to come. 🌱 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dxcszd9R Henan Liying Environmental Science and Technology Co., Ltd. #WildlifeProtection #EcosystemDiversity #NationalWildlifeDay #MedicalWasteDisposal #ProtectWildlife #SustainableFuture #ZoonoticDisease #EnvironmentalHealth #EcoFriendlySolutions #GreenFuture #SafeguardOurPlanet 🌍🌿

🦀 World Aquatic Animal Day 🐠 Aquatic animals play a vital role in a healthy ecosystem: they recycle nutrients, purify water, maintain a balanced food web underwater, and so much more! However, our modern lifestyle's impact on aquatic living beings can be disastrous: from plastic pollution and water contamination, to overfishing and illegal fishing, these diverse animals face plenty of threats. 🔑 So let's think about the little things we can all do to help protect our aquatic animals. From recycling to responsible pet ownership, all those positive choices add up on a local or even global scale. #sealife #aquatic #marineamimals #lakes #oceans #rivers #wildlifeconservation #protectouroceans #seaturtles #sharks #fish #msc

🌍 The Hidden Costs of Oil Spills: A Call for Collective Action 🌊 Oil is a crucial energy source driving our progress and prosperity. However, its production and transportation come with significant environmental risks. Recent major oil spills have led to devastating impacts, including the death of approximately 🐦 82,000 birds across 102 species, around 🐢 6,165 sea turtles, up to 🐬 25,900 marine mammals, 🐟 and countless fish. Beyond these tragic figures, oil and diesel spills disrupt aquatic ecosystems in profound ways. They interfere with photosynthesis in aquatic plants, hinder fish respiration, and diminish soil fertility—factors that directly affect agriculture and food security. For seven years, DISOL-ECO has been dedicated to rescuing wildlife affected by these disasters. Our mission is to protect and restore the natural world, but we need your help. We urge oil companies, animal welfare organizations, and NGOs to join forces in supporting these vulnerable creatures. Let’s work together to prevent further environmental damage and protect our planet. Watch this video: A child's smile, grateful for the rescue of a 🐶 beloved pet , is a powerful reminder of the impact we can make. Let’s unite to make a difference and offer our support to those in need. We represent eco-friendly technology that is transforming the world for the better. #Innovation #Technology #Life #GreenPeace #OilSpill #Entrepreneurship #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #EnvironmentalProtection #Collaboration #WildlifeConservation #EcoFriendly #NGOs #AnimalWelfare #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice #ProtectOurPlanet #EcoTech

🦁 Today is National Wildlife Day in the U.S., when we celebrate the diversity of nature and the value of wildlife. 👉 However, it should not be overlooked that improper disposal of medical waste not only pollutes the environment, but can also be a breeding ground for the spread of zoonotic diseases. Enhancing the safe and environmentally friendly disposal of medical waste is a crucial step in preventing the spread of diseases across species. 💪 Let's work together to dispose of medical waste in a timely and proper manner. In this way, we can protect wildlife and safeguard our common health and future. Natural harmony is everyone's responsibility. https://lnkd.in/dxcszd9R #WildlifeProtection #EcosystemDiversity #NationalWildlifeDay #MedicalWasteDisposal #ProtectWildlife #SustainableFuture #ZoonoticDisease

Florida state legislation is trying to push through a movement to eliminate state parks to construct golf courses, pickleball courts, and resorts. Florida is one of 36 global biodiversity hotspots, making it one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. Biodiversity is important for many things, it increases ecosystem health, results in increase of species as a result of speciation, makes populations and species more resilient to impacts like climate change, duet change, and disease. Many species fulfill a niche that others cannot fill, creating gaps in services that cannot be filled. There are 29 species of bee endemic to Florida that are not found elsewhere in the world, 21 of them are pollinators, the remaining 8 are parasitic. Removing these natural areas will harm the entire ecosystem, soil, water, and air qualities, reduce populations of native fish, wildlife, and invertebrates, as well as local flora. It will harm the people, and the regional and global climate. Please sign the petition below from the Florida Wildlife Federation and tell representatives to protect Florida's state parks. https://lnkd.in/eV-NTcHk!

Wetlands are vital for maintaining a healthy planet and supporting diverse ecosystems. They contribute significantly to biodiversity, provide habitats for various plant and animal species, and act as natural buffers against floods. Wetlands also play a vital role in water purification and climate regulation and support recreational activities. However, they face threats from human activities. Protecting and restoring wetlands is essential to preserve these invaluable ecosystems for current and future generations.
