No religion is greater than loving Rwanda when you are Rwandan.

To me, Rwanda is not country only, but Rwanda is my love, my parent, and even my God.

Unfortunately, Australia’s biodiversity is in ongoing decline, threatened by development, invasive species, and more.

The new Nature Media Centre is raising awareness of this loss and building public support for conservation. https://t.co/TjMQGww5is

Did you know that 53 million people rely on high-risk tropical forests for water, food, and resilience?

Tripling investments in protecting these resources could drive growth, tackling climate change, biodiversity loss, while benefiting people whose well-being and resilience are closely tied to forest resources: https://t.co/fbiuVghgMc

Freshwater #biodiversity has declined by 80% since 1970.

IUCN is working to develop #sustainable solutions to manage water resources that benefit people and #nature.

How would you describe Rwanda’s nature in one word? 🌿����🇼

Male giant water, genus Appasus (family Belostomatidae) carry eggs on their backs to solve aquatic risks.

They aerate the eggs in low-oxygen water, protect them from predators, and reduce fungal infection through constant movement.
