Grasslands, shrublands, and savannahs cover nearly half of our land and are rich in life and history.
Now under threat, they need restoration, including preserving native plants, local knowledge, and sustainable practices.

Traditional knowledge, passed down through generations, teaches us how to care for wetlands with respect, balance, and reciprocity. Protecting wetlands also means protecting culture, identity and future generations.

“Conservation is strongest when science and traditional knowledge work hand in hand.”
Next week is #WorldWetlandsDay, watch IUCN Director General, Dr Grethel Aguilar's message for this important day.👇#WWD2026@RamsarConv
On #WorldWetlandsDay, we pause to reflect on the critical role that healthy wetlands play in sustaining life.
@WWF's Living Planet report shows that the greatest losses to biodiversity occur in the freshwater biome. That means our collective work on wetlands is absolutely essential to protecting wildlife, biodiversity and the services wetlands provide.
Kirsten Schuijt, Director General of @WWF .

Huge demand for the 🇨🇦 PM Carney speech. For good reasons. Here the video version. Compare it with the rambling and incoherent Trump 🇺🇸 performance today. https://t.co/MomyFxS4J1

🌊 A historic moment for the ocean.
The #HighSeasTreaty has officially entered into force, marking a new era in the protection of our shared ocean.
Learn how you can take action for the High Seas: https://t.co/JHWNN0ZBYG
🌊The UN High Seas Treaty is now law—bringing the first real protections to the roughly half of our planet that lies beyond national borders.
It enables marine protected areas, environmental impact checks, and fair sharing of ocean benefits.

There is a persistent myth that peace is naïve.
That the only ‘real’ politics is the politics of self-interest & force.
But the founders of the @UN were not untouched by reality.
They had seen war & they knew:
Peace, justice & equality are the most courageous, the most practical, the most necessary pursuits of all.
Today marks a major step for global ocean governance. The High Seas Treaty enters into force, creating the first legal framework to conserve and sustainably manage marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ).
The high seas aren’t empty — they’re alive. 🌊
As the High Seas Treaty enters into force today, remote habitats of whales, sharks, sea turtles, & more gain a long-overdue chance at protection.
Now comes the real work: turning this promise into real protection.
An international agreement to protect and sustainably use marine life in international waters comes into force this weekend.
Learn more about why the agreement is a major step forward in efforts to #SaveOurOcean.

🚨 BREAKING: The High Seas Treaty enters into force today – without the UK 🌊
81 countries have ratified. The UK still hasn’t.
This treaty could create the largest network of ocean sanctuaries in history – but delays risk locking the UK out of the first Ocean COP ⏳
No more excuses. Ratify the #HighSeasTreaty now. 🌍✊
🌊17 January 2026 marks the entry into force of the #BBNJ Agreement, an important milestone in global ocean governance.
@ISBAHQ stands ready to support its implementation.

The energy we use shapes our future.
Renewables cut emissions and create jobs.
With a just transition, we can ensure we leave no one behind.
On World Energy Transition Day, here's how we are working to power a greener, fairer world for all: https://t.co/TFxZFlcvur
Out of the 8.1 million plant and animal species on Earth, 1 million are at risk of extinction and may disappear in the coming years.
