"To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge."

Exploring the world through global statistics.

Hi everyone 👋
This is EcoLens; Where numbers meet stories.
We'll share global data in simple, visual ways to spark curiosity and conversation.

Every child deserves not only protection under the law, but the chance to survive and thrive. 🌍 Nearly half of all under-five deaths occur in the first 28 days of life. Protecting children’s rights must begin from birth.👶

Children are protected under international law.

Yet every day, conflicts, climate change & other crises threaten children’s rights — stealing their childhoods and putting their futures at risk.

@UNICEF stresses that protecting children’s rights is everyone’s responsibility.

Alcohol can harm children before birth, at home and during adolescence.

Three pathways. One child-health issue.

On 11 Oct, we bring them together at #WHS2026.

There are no blurred lines when it comes to consent. Yet it is still too often misunderstood, ignored or dismissed.

There is no excuse for sexual violence.

Women’s rights and choices must be protected.

@UNICEF Violence against women is not inevitable, and no woman should have to live with it as a risk of everyday life. Intimate partner violence remains a global reality that demands action.📊✊

Every girl, adolescent and woman has the right to be safe.

No matter what she wears.

No matter where she goes.

No matter if she stays alert.

Safe. Full stop.

We cannot accept a world where violence is a risk girls are expected to navigate.

It’s time to prevent violence, hold perpetrators accountable and end violence against girls and women.

🐂🌍Climate change is hitting mountain agriculture hard. Between 2003 and 2013, climate hazards caused 80% of mountain crop and livestock losses; With developing countries bearing the greatest burden.🌾

Protecting people starts with protecting our animals.
Regular vaccination of dogs and other pets helps stop rabies at its source and prevents transmission within communities.

If a person is bitten or scratched by an animal that may have #rabies, immediate access to appropriate medical care and post-exposure vaccination can save their life.
Vaccinate pets. Act quickly after exposure.
Together, we can stop rabies transmission.

#WorldRabiesDay

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

#Rabies isn't a dog-only problem.
Cats, bats, foxes, jackals. Any mammal can carry the virus and pass it on through a single bite or scratch.

If it happens to you, get to a clinic fast. Once symptoms appear, it's almost always too late.

🌿⛰️90–97% of the High Andean native forests have been lost. Only 3–10% of their original extent remains. It's putting unique ecosystems, biodiversity, and the people who depend on them at risk.🌎

🌳Water depends on more than ice and snow.
Between 2001 and 2023, Madagascar lost nearly one-third of its tree cover, a 29% decline.
As forests disappear, the landscapes that help capture, store and regulate water change too.💧

🏔The Alps are heading toward a different water future.
River flow is projected to fall by more than a third by 2100 due to climate change, while ice-melt runoff could decline by almost half.💧

🌾66% of global irrigated farming relies on mountain runoff; Making these highland waters essential to food production around the world.
What begins as water in the mountains can end up on tables far beyond them.💧

💧Mountains are the source of more than half of the planet’s freshwater.
Up to 60% of freshwater starts in mountains, flowing from highlands into the rivers, ecosystems and communities below.🌍

[EcoLens @EcoLensProject]

🏔Mountains are not empty landscapes.
1 in 7 people worldwide lives in mountain regions. More than 1 billion people, 90% of them in developing countries.
The mountains provide water for humanity. But they are also home to humanity.💧

Do you know the most common types of cancer in children?

These are:
- leukemias,
- brain tumours,
- lymphomas, and
- solid tumours such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumour.

While childhood cancer is rare, it can happen.
When cancer is found early and treatment begins without delay, a child has a far better chance of surviving and growing up healthy.

Pastoralists herd about 1 billion animals worldwide.

They support food security, safeguard biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience and preserve cultural heritage.

The 1954 medicine laureates discovered how to grow the poliovirus in human tissue cultures – the breakthrough that made the polio vaccine possible. Their work set in motion the near-eradication of the virus, one of the greatest public health victories of the 20th century.
