Research result @KainjiLakeNational Park has shown that the illegal activities in the Park is as a result of indequate participations of local people surrounding the park. From @funomp1#DefendNature#DefendWildLife today and not tomorrow.
🦏 Today’s Challenge 🦏
Show your love for BARAKA — the incredible blind black rhino living at Ol Pejeta Conservancy 💚
If you’ve ever visited and captured a photo of him, share it today and help celebrate his strength, resilience, and the beauty of protecting wildlife.
Without biodiversity, there would be no food.
Biodiversity depends on how we manage our agrifood systems and take care of nature.
Our future depends on biodiversity!

Somaliland is home to incredible species richness. Located in the Horn of Africa Biodiversity Hotspot, the country is home to more than 725 types of birds and over 175 different mammal species – some of which are among the planet’s most #endangered.
Over the last century, #wildlife populations in the region have been declining, impacted by habitat loss and degradation, human-wildlife conflict, and the illegal wildlife trade. Across the Horn of Africa, climate change continues to intensify these challenges. The conservation status of many species remains unknown.
In Somaliland, rescue and rehabilitation of trafficked cheetahs is just one part of Cheetah Conservation Fund’s (CCF) effort to protect cheetahs and other wildlife in the region. Our work is also focused on supporting and empowering the communities living alongside #cheetahs, to better protect biodiversity in the region. Connecting wildlife #conservation, protection of natural resources and livelihoods, CCF is collaborating with local communities, government partners, and civil organizations to advance community conservation in Somaliland.
In East Africa and southern Africa, community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) and the creation of communal #conservancies have supported conservation - while benefiting local communities and building resilience to climate change. Aiming to build on the success of this approach, CCF is working with partners in Somaliland to recreate this model of community conservation. Somaliland’s first two conservancies - Awdal and Geed-Deeble - were established in 2024. Future Farmers of Africa (FFA) classes have also been adapted for the region, with the new Education Complex at the Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre (CRCC) providing a permanent structure for education and training.
In the year ahead, CCF will continue to advance community-based conservation in Somaliland, collaborating with regional partners to address the biggest threats to wild cheetahs in the region, while driving sustainable solutions that support local communities and protect #biodiversity.

Nature is our strongest ally, and protecting it is essential for our shared future. 🌍🌿
Across its #WorldHeritage sites, #BiosphereReserves and #GlobalGeoparks, UNESCO works with communities, scientists, Indigenous Peoples and partners to protect #biodiversity, restore ecosystems and strengthen the resilience of nature and people.
This #BiodiversityDay is a call to act: rethink our relationship with nature and help restore balance for a more sustainable world.

You did it. Our match challenge has been met.
Your support unlocked thousands of added days of protection for elephants like One Ton — and helps sustain the rangers, communities, and partnerships that make conservation across Greater Amboseli possible.

Biodiversity underpins healthy ecosystems. Each species performs a unique role. All are needed to keep the system strong and resilient. At WCS, we help conserve habitat for more than 40% of the world’s biodiversity by focusing on areas with high ecological integrity. #BiodiversityDay
🦏 It’s Rhino Friday, and today all our rhino love goes to BARAKA — the incredible blind black rhino living at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya 🇰🇪
Baraka reminds us every day that strength, resilience, and spirit go far beyond sight.
#RhinoFriday 🦏
Every rhino alive today is surviving a war created by humans. Poachers don’t just kill animals — they erase generations & orphan calves.
And still the rhinos endure.
Ancient. Powerful. Unbroken.
If we lose #rhinos, we lose part of #Africa’s soul forever. 🌍💚
Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay, it is however time to change the narratives. We must as individuals and as global community learn to Protect and Preserve #Wildlife and it's habitat.
We must be deliberate in our actions to protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_@Sdg13Un@ECOWARRIORSS
Congrats to the Black Rhino on today's World Endangered Species Day: Africa's most significant endangered animal recovery success story. In the 1990s, the population was fewer than 2,500. Intense conservation (enforcement of anti-poaching laws, reintroduction to new areas) has nearly tripled numbers to 6,400. Without conservation in 2026 there would be an estimated 300 Black Rhino alive, on brink of extinction.
Congo’s forests are shaped by the presence of elephants—and would be threatened by their absence.
On #EndangeredSpeciesDay, your gift to help them and other wildlife gets multiplied 4X. https://t.co/HenF3gMOfr
