🚨 #COP28 UPDATE 🌍

As the climate summit comes to a disappointing conclusion our CEO, @martinBirdLife, continues to rally for nature. 🌳🕊️

His message is clear: the fight isn't over.

We will persist in putting pressure on world leaders and supporting local communities. 🦜✊

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

16k killed (7k kids),40k injured, 1.8ml IDPs, 60% civilian infrastructure gone. No food, water, medication. Just bombs dropping.

In the face of all this, Congresspeople of the only country who can stop this, legislated that antizionism=antisemitism.

Alternative reality, it is.

😱😡What crazy world is this where someone with a *medical* background celebrates killing off a law meant to *protect public health* ⁉️

How can it be a good thing that poisons will continue to be used in "bird sanctuaries" and other natural reserves⁉️

Shame on you @EPPGroup

[BirdLife Europe & Central Asia @BirdLifeEurope]

⚠️ Breaking: the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Regulation just got rejected by the European Parliament.

Many Members of the Parliament voted to please the pockets of big agri lobbies, and put another nail in the coffin for farmers, nature's, and the health of citizens.☠️

Our reaction will follow shortly.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

UNSG @antonioguterres, many UN Special Rapporteurs, the "crown jewel of the UN system" in late UNSG #KofiAnnan's words, believe that a genocide may be unfolding in Gaza.
The situation is not just horrible. It is an Inferno on earth.

We must ACT to prevent further atrocities.

[BirdLife Europe & Central Asia @BirdLifeEurope]

Next Wednesday, the @EU_Parliament can give us a better future by voting for a meaningful pesticide regulation!

❌ Pesticides kill birds and poison our nature
✔️ We need a law that reduces the use of pesticides by 50% by 2030.

Members of the Parliament, we count on you to vote for birds, people, and nature.

[Honey Kohan #RestoreNature @honeykohan]

I hope @Teresaribera @cesarluena & @VSinkevicius give us a law we can be proud of. A law that we can show EU citizens and say:

"Look at what the EU did for you. For our planet. For our survival."

[BirdLife Europe & Central Asia @BirdLifeEurope]

While farmland birds are disappearing due to the overuse of #pesticides, the 🇪🇸 presidency @eu2023es wants to allow these harmful toxics in sensitive areas and water down reduction targets.

Agriculture and Environment Ministers, we want you to protect our farmland birds, and the soundtrack of our landscapes!

#PesticideFreeEU #SayGoodbyetoToxics

[BirdLife Europe & Central Asia @BirdLifeEurope]

⚠️ You thought the fight for the Nature Restoration Law is over? It isn’t!

The European Council, Commission, and Parliament are currently negotiating the final content of the law to #RestoreNature. On the 9th of November, they will come to a final deal!

👀 Negotiators, we are watching. https://t.co/iJvd4G5jOb

"The Israel-Hamas war has become the deadliest period for journalists covering conflict since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992. From October 7 to 31, at least 31 journalists and media workers were...killed." https://t.co/1ZjkOWgSpP

👻 Birdy Halloween! 🐦

We love all birds, but some spook us a little more than others. Today we are celebrating the #spook in the beauty.

Out of 11 birds, our followers on Instagram voted for the 7 most spooky birds across Europe & Central Asia this weekend.

The punky haircut of the Northern Bald Ibis was the winner, followed closely by the staring eyes of the European Eagle Owl and the witchy trilling of the European Nightjar.

Which one creeps you out most?

3,195 children killed in #Gaza in just three weeks has surpassed the annual number of children killed across the world's conflict zones since 2019. We are calling for an immediate ceasefire.

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

There is no safe space in Gaza.

“Helpless people are being subjected to horrific bombing. Families have nowhere to run or to hide.

Water, food, fuel, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid in Gaza need to be urgently restored." https://t.co/TIvnh3J4pN

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Gaza is under intense bombing.

Telecommunications have been cut.

We can't get through to our family who have been trapped in this war zone for almost 3 weeks.

We can only pray they survive the night.

How many more children have to die before the world says enough?

[Irene Marchi @irenemrch]

Some cranes flying back to the ponds, where they will spend a safe night 🥰
Turn up your volume to hear their call

[Irene Marchi @irenemrch]

What an amazing 3 days with @BirdLifeEurope! 27 colleagues from across 19 of our Partners met for the annual meeting of the Fundraising Working Group - the opportunity to share best practices, learn and inspire each other to improve our fundraising operations

[Irene Marchi @irenemrch]

Our Hungarian Partner MME kindly hosted us in Debrecen 🇭🇺 Besides our meetings, we visited the Hortobagyi National Park to discover Hungarian culture and reconnect with nature. And what better inspiration than the almost 200,000 cranes that can be seen in the park?

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

"Children in Gaza are developing severe trauma symptoms alongside the risk of death and injury, according to a Palestinian psychiatrist. "An average of almost 110 children a day" have died under Israeli bombardment. "Thousands more have been injured." https://t.co/Qb7sV3HMLh

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

🆘 In the📍#GazaStrip nearly 1 MILLION people have been displaced in just one week.

🆘 In the past 12 hours alone, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced.

🆘The exodus continues as people move to southern parts of the Gaza Strip.
