Our new report on national biodiversity strategies confirms what we already suspected: most governments are excluding Indigenous people and communities from conservation efforts.

This needs to change if they are serious about meeting the 2030 global biodiversity targets.

[WRI Equity @WRIEquity]

NEW SPECIAL REPORT on National Biodiversity Strategies & Action Plans finds that countries have a long way to go in incorporating Indigenous and local community rights in the development and implementation of these plans. #NBSAPs

GAZA UPDATE: 4,237 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza.

Israeli forces have killed twice as many Palestinian children in Gaza over the past month than the total number of Palestinian children killed in the West Bank and Gaza combined since 1967. https://t.co/NM8eTqoe8h

I was delighted to discuss the latest @Forest_Assess findings on progress (or lack thereof) toward meeting global #forest goals and protecting #IndigenousPeoples rights with @UCBNewsTeam last week. 🌳

Have a listen here 🔊

Since coming back to work, it has been harder to find time to spend time on my blog. But Dad's 60th birthday gave me a kick to churn this one out: a tribute to my old man and our lifetime of bonding over gigs, guitars, and guys' nights out.

Voluntary donations from ultra rich people can be a powerful tool in addressing the #climate and #biodiversity crises.

But the main responsibility to act rests with governments, and for that we need public revenue.

Tax the ultra rich! Even they agree.

An Englishman and an Irishman walk into a remote Kurdish mountain resort during the biggest Muslim holiday of the year, looking for booze...

Sounds like the start of a bad joke but, for better or worse, it's not. Read this story in my latest blog post.

Thanks @illuminemNews for picking up my recent blog post on the joys of travelling in Iraqi Kurdistan!

In my new blog post, I describe a changing beach paradise and discuss why it is that travellers so often struggle to find meaning.

Please feel free to share and, if you like this, follow me on Medium for more stories and reflections from my trip!

Istanbul has always been the place where East meets West. In my new blog post, I share our experiences there and discuss whether, in becoming more Westernized, it has lost its charm or become even more alluring. https://t.co/8ZLhCYT0xZ

[Darragh Conway @Climate_Darragh]

I just started a new travel blog, where I reflect on the places we visit, why we travel, and how we get meaning from it. Enjoy (and feel free to share)!

"Higher carbon prices are good news for green investment as well as the climate," writes @Climate_Darragh in a recent op-ed for @BusinessGreen.

Darragh discusses doubling down on carbon pricing in order to keep net zero alive.

⚠️URGENT: Maasai people are at risk of being violently evicted from their lands to make way for trophy hunting and elite tourism - this cannot be allowed to happen

President @SuluhuSamia: The world is watching. End the violence and stop all evictions now! #StopMaasaiEviction

[Darragh Conway @Climate_Darragh]

After spending many months immersed in carbon pricing goings on, I gathered some thoughts on the unique opportunity we now have to integrate our responses to the #EnergyCrisis and the #ClimateCrisis.

Time and time again govts/companies pretend Indigenous comms that have managed land for centuries do not exist. We need to keep reminding them that they are not fooling anyone. @PanAmericanSlvr @guatemalagob @ArgentinaMFA https://t.co/11qisWSlkT

🚨It’s crunch time for the #DSA

The EU is wrapping up negotiations in a groundbreaking effort to rein in Big Tech; but a key, outstanding issue is if platforms have to open their algorithmic black box to civil society, to identify harms, like disinformation, before it's too late

[Darragh Conway @Climate_Darragh]

Really impressed with the recent work of Ecuador's constitutional court👩‍⚖️

In January, it upheld the right of #IndigenousPeoples to withhold consent for development projects on their land🌳

And last month, it became the first court to recognize animals' constitutional rights.���

[Forest Declaration Assessment @Forest_Assess]

The relevance of Indigenous and local community managed lands in our global system cannot be overstated.

Indigenous lands in Brazil, Peru, Colombia & Mexico absorb twice as carbon as other lands. We cannot meet #ParisAgreement targets without them.
