It's Wildlife Wednesday!

Check out this trail camera footage of an elk in a wallow!

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm the urgent need for ambitious climate action grounded in science and cooperation.

Across the world, people, ecosystems and species alike are already experiencing the impacts of climate change — but nature also remains one of our greatest allies in building a more resilient future.

At IUCN, we are working with our Members, partners and communities around the globe to advance solutions that protect biodiversity while supporting people and climate resilience.

#WorldEnvironmentDay invites us to listen to the 🌍 signals and act on them.

Black bears provide many ecosystem benefits, such as seed dispersal and forest regeneration.

This is important in mixed-conifer forests, coast range forests, oak woodlands, and chaparral habitats.
