Over 80% of the world’s population lives in areas where the night sky is brightened by excessive artificial lighting. "Sky glow", caused by human activity, disrupts nature's rhythm and leaves wildlife confused. Whether you live in a city or the countryside, you can fight light pollution by limiting your use of outdoor lighting, using blinds or curtains to contain indoor light, and employing high-efficiency light sources. Kick off every week by unlearning conservation notions and environment myths with WWF-India's #MythbustingMondays Picture Courtesy BrendanGully/shutterstock.com #lightpollution #skyglow #stargazing #conservation #pollution #WWFIndia #WWF

Trees🌳are the lungs🫁of our planet🌏, filtering our air🍃, providing us with oxygen, and absorbing harmful⚠️ carbon dioxide. They also play a critical role in soil conservation, water💧cycle regulation, and providing habitat for countless species. Let's commit to planting🌿and protecting trees for a healthier planet🌏! #savetrees #environmentalconservation #sustainability #climatechange #earthday

In light of the challenges posed by climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, it is imperative that we acknowledge the potential impact of even the most modest actions when aggregated. However, it is important to acknowledge that even small efforts can have a significant impact when combined. From reducing our carbon footprint and promoting cleaner energy source💡, to supporting wildlife conservation and adopting sustainable practices in our workplaces and daily lives, every action we undertake has a far-reaching impact🌍. #climatchange #agriculture #earth

The good news: people and organizations are fighting back against climate change. We are moving in the right direction, but we need to make more changes. Reducing the use of fossil fuels and using renewable energy can be done on a personal and industrial level. Climate-smart conservation is a solution that many organizations are using to help animals adapt to their changing environment. Even backyard gardening can help create a space for wildlife and reduce your carbon footprint. You can find ways to go “green” with your garden, and always remember to plant native flora. #savetheplanet #conservation #SAFEworldwide #reduceemissions #nativeplants #globalwarming #protectanimals #fightback #renewableenergy

Today is World Nature Conservation Day 🌎! Protecting natural resources 🌲 and wildlife 🐘 from extinction can mitigate the impact of climate change, which can cause #extremeweather ⛈. Nature conservation helps reduce emissions and slows rises in temperature. It also helps people and wildlife adapt to current effects of #climatechange 🌐. Here are a few ways to get involved: 🚶🚲🚇️ Walk, ride a bike, or take public transportation. ♻🍽 Use reusable cups, containers, straws, or cutlery. 🚫 Eliminate the use of plastic. 🌱🌳 Plant a tree, pollen or a garden. 📖🤝 Educate yourself and spread awareness. #WorldNatureConservationDay #climatechange #extremeweather #wildlifeconservation #naturalresources #mitigation

Tree Planting Should Become the New Big Thing Because they produce oxygen, filter air and water, and stop soil erosion, trees are essential to the ecosystem. Beyond these critical roles, trees also provide habitat for wildlife, help combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, and enhance the beauty of our surroundings. By making tree planting a popular and trendy activity, we can inspire individuals and communities to take tangible steps toward environmental conservation. Imagine neighborhoods and cities united in the effort to plant more trees, creating greener and healthier spaces for everyone. Let's spread the word and make tree planting a movement. Together, we can grow a better future for our planet. Grow Trees, Grow Hope 🌳🌳🌳 #trees #environment #sustainability #greenfuture #Sunday4SecuredFuture #WeRiseTogether
