Very coincidental that I delivered a presentation on Jaguars this week and it is #InternationalJaguarDay today! #2023EBE #protectjaguars #nature

[CITES @CITES]

Jaguar ranges are home to some of the highest terrestrial biodiversity on the planet 🐆🌎

Check out the key recommendations on #jaguar conservation and monitoring from the recent #CITESSC77 meeting ➡️ https://t.co/ao3S0LL9hF

Mangrove forests offer resources and shelter to many species, as well as stabilizing soil and reducing erosion - they are incredible🌊🌳🦞

[IUCN @IUCN]

🌊🌱Coastal marine ecosystems are essential #NaturebasedSolutions delivering vital benefits #ForNature, people and climate.

Beautiful illustration showcasing important information on seagrass meadows🌊🐠🪼

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Seagrass meadows are among the most productive and important ecosystems in the world.

They are marine flowering plants that support thousands of key species and essential ecosystem functions.

Watch as 70 elephants use the Oldonyiro Corridor to move from Laikipia to Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. This vital pathway fosters ecosystem connectivity, allowing wildlife and livestock to roam freely.

Selfie no.3 in the current topic seminar series. Today it was by Jan Van Deventer about the beautiful fire island. So interesting to hear about the unique challenges faced by conservation efforts in such a remote, pristine location! #2023EBE #conservation #ecosystem

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Witness the consequences unfold before us.

Species vanishing.

Nature's realms shrinking.

Pollution tainting soil and water ecosystems crumbling.

This stark reality is our legacy.

But it's not too late to change course.

Let's salvage our precious #biodiversity.

Interesting take on the role of herbivores in ecological restoration and the other factors e.g. climate conditions, that influence their impact on the environment. #2023EBE #herbivores #conservation #rewilding

This exhibiton was such a pleasure to attend! Seeing the work being done to help achieve sustainability to a crazy time was so interesting and helped shed some positivity on what is sometimes a scary topic! #2023EBE

450!😮🪲🐜

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

Many would consider this sally (willow)-dominated scrub, self-formed on wet ground over the last decade, a waste of land.

But they'd be very wrong. A rich ground flora is moving in, and the whole place rings with bird song: willow supports **450** insect species.

This is shocking

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

You've seen the world-famous climate stripes – and today WWF is adding another stark image to the collection. The forest species stripes show a shocking 79% average decline in species that rely on forests. It’s time to turn the tide and start taking action to bring our forests back to life. @wwf_uk #ForOurWorld #ShowYourStripes @UniofReading @DerbyUni @OfficialZSL

[Sophie Garrett @sophgarrett3]

Declining insect biodiversity is a major issue, therefore understanding the importance of microhabitats e.g. temporary waterbodies & dead wood, to insects, in forest environments is vital for their conservation.

The population of golden eagles in southern Scotland has reached record numbers, with around 46 of the indigenous birds now living (and breeding) in the area.

Uplifting camera trap clip from the Maya Biosphere Reserve! A jaguar and its cubs walking through the forest. With partners, WCS Guatemala monitors the big cats with cameras like this one. Great to see a trio like this thriving.

This is amazing news for this beautiful species! They are unfortunately critically endangered, therefore the conservation of Sumatran rhinos is vital🦏 #rhinoceros #conservation #protectrhinos #2023EBE

[Save the Rhino International @savetherhino]

📣 Great news! A new female Sumatran rhino has been born in Indonesia!🦏 💛

Really fascinating to read how different factors within a habitat e.g. tree height, etc. impact intraguild predation (IGP) between Jaguars and Ocelots. I never knew that this was quite common.🌳🐆
