Protecting nature is increasingly a matter of national security.
@conservationorg UK’s Jonathan Hall calls on the UK to build on recent commitments by directing a third of its climate aid to nature and forests.

What if the money governments are already spending could work better? Reforming incentives can support people and economies without working against climate and biodiversity goals. #ClimateWeekNYC #COP17 #COP31

Along Colombia’s Caribbean coast, @CIColombia's work shows that local action can deliver for mangroves that store carbon, support biodiversity, and protect communities. As #ClimateWeekNYC continues, #COP17 & #COP31 must help scale solutions.

Indigenous, local, and Afro-descendant peoples protect biodiversity, yet only 0.5% of multilateral climate finance supports their tenure rights and forest management. Time to support their leadership. #ClimateWeekNYC #COP17 #COP31

Biodiversity and climate go hand in hand. At #ClimateWeekNYC and as we look ahead to #COP17 and #COP31, we’re highlighting why protecting biodiversity must be part of climate action and why these two crises must be tackled together.

How much does mangrove restoration really cost?
Restoring one million hectares could prevent one billion tons of carbon emissions — and return five times the investment through benefits like disaster protection and healthier fisheries.

Biodiversity science is about more than species & ecosystems, it’s also about people.
@ConservationOrg biodiversity scienctist Kathleen Flower spends her career at that intersection & now she’s working to address some of conservation’s biggest challenges: conservation.org/news/to-pro…

Overcoming data gaps is critical to effective conservation as nations increase efforts to stem species extinctions amid a global biodiversity crisis.
"Camera traps” could be the missing link to gathering valuable biodiversity data, new study finds.
