Nature and people are tied together.

Over the last 60 years, more than 40% of civil wars have been linked to resource competition, and climate change is making it worse. Now, @ConservationOrg is working to help build peace into conservation.

Forests are some of the coolest places on Earth — literally. 🌲

During the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave, dense forests were up to 3°C cooler than areas without trees.

For the plants and animals that depend on them, that cooling can mean survival.

A first-of-its-kind biodiversity effort is underway in the Brazilian Amazon.

@CIBrasil is working with Indigenous Panará researchers, Iakiô, Rede Xingu+, ISA, UFPA, Unicamp and Jardim Botânico do Rio to document wildlife across their nearly 500,000-hectare territory.

Africa’s wildlife will recover when conservation creates real income for the people who live closest to nature.

In his @TED Talk, @ConservationOrg Managing Director, East Africa, Seif Hamisi argues conservation works best when it makes economic sense. https://t.co/eF41PuZFZb

📣 CAT LOVERS 📣

The fishing cat is one of Asia's most elusive small wild cats. For the 1st time, there is a confirmed sighting of the species in the restored Pursat flooded forest around Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake, marking a major milestone following 15 years of conservation.

Say cheese! 📸 Camera traps are catching a glimpse of wildlife that calls Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake home.

Over 2 years, @ConservationOrg Cambodia documented 13 mammal species in Tonle Sap’s southern floodplains, including six globally-threatened species. https://t.co/X1hMJ1SeV5

Fewer than 30% of the world’s researchers are women.

Closing that gap matters — because gender diversity strengthens science.

This week, the @UN confirmed what scientists have long warned: We’re going to overshoot 1.5°C of warming.

@conservationorg’s Lina Barrera shares why nature is a big part of how we correct course, and get back to 1.5°C.
