I’ve dedicated my career to conservation & more often than not witnessed 1st hand how our work brings us at the nexus of many fields, not least that of environmental peacebuilding. Truly inspired. Thank you #EnPax #EnvironmentalPeacebuilding

Xtraordinary Zambia trip, witnessing 1st hand conservation impact. Humbling 2 c how low Zambezi & how disastrous crops r, when dry season is only Sept-Oct. State of emergency declared, I only hope we realise how Nature is part of solution, cross-sectoral cornerstone 2 our HumaniT

🚨BREAKING!🚨 @vonderleyen sacrifices conservation success of the #wolf 🐺for her own political gain!

This flies in the face of science and public opinion.

We're calling on Member States to reject the proposal!

The freshwater fish assessment follows a reassessment of the world’s #sturgeons. Of the 27 described species of sturgeon, 26 are now at risk of extinction (threatened or Extinct in the Wild) & the 27th (Chinese paddlefish) was declared extinct. https://t.co/RP7qtKCXxo 12/

💙 Proud of our @WWF_Ukraine colleagues who organized restocking of the Danube River with 2,500 sturgeon juveniles last month. The fish were released into the Solomoniv channel of the river in the Danube Biosphere Reserve. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/LNYmFsJndV

At least 1,000 birds died from colliding with one Chicago building in one day: despite the simple solution being to turn off the lights at night… https://t.co/xjC00NqDvy

#Switzerland to undertake mass killing (60%) of #wolves

Purely a political decision, ignoring scientists’ guidance, int. conventions, the majority of Swiss people and solely responding to populist calls from the most regressive farmers voices

A disgrace https://t.co/RGejcnLvEW

HUGE: Bhutan reports increase in #SnowLeopard numbers! 👏

Found in twelve countries across Asia’s high mountains, they face many threats. Because of this, these spectacular animals are seeing population decline globally.

This news, though, brings hope ✨ @WWFLeadWildlife

Delighted & privileged to b joining @Bill_Sutherland @MuddyThornton again today for #HorizonScanning

[WWF EU @WWFEU]

It's important to collect data as a basis for policy decisions - BUT let's not pre-empt the outcome!

CLAIM: wolves pose a danger for livestock and "potentially for humans", as suggested by @EU_Commission

FACT: no human fatalities linked to wolves in this century in Europe - and risks of attacks are extremely low!

Also: Solutions exist under current legislation.

Fossil fuel subsidies rose to a record $7 trillion last year. With world temperatures rising to unprecedented levels, subsidies should be scaled back to help slow climate change. https://t.co/VE965QdR0G

❤️🌍Ecuador achieves a historic victory for our planet!

In a crucial referendum, its citizens championed the rights of #nature, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities. @WWFEcuador celebrates this win for conservation, preserving territory, and tackling #ClimateChange.

Keeping oil underground in Yasuní Park & halting mining in the Andean Chocó region are the outcomes of the democratic decision of Ecuador, and set a global example for the world.
