Happy #WorldWetlandsDay!

Wetlands play a crucial role in the sustenance of our wildlife and environment and are key to disaster risk reduction and mitigating climate change.

And #SouthSudan is home to one of Africa’s largest wetlands – the SUDD

"Just as biodiversity is undervalued by many, so are we as women. We the women in conservation embrace, celebrate, & protect the diversity of life. Also the diversity of women—the faces of conservation."

Elevated levels in joblessness in #Zimbabwe due to the #COVID19 pandemic have caused a significant increase in snaring by local people for #bushmeat. Because of this a worrying 14 #lions were killed in snares in the Hwange / Vic Falls area over the last year.

It was an honor to join President @IvanDuque for the CBD PreCOP in Leticia yesterday, and to see so many leaders calling for greater ambition to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises to build a #nature-positive and carbon-neutral future.

Researchers estimate India was home to 40 million vultures in the 1980s. That number dropped by more than 97% in the 1990s. Now, a successful breeding scheme is giving them a boost. https://t.co/VJ8RP1dSzN

#WorldHumanitarianDay honours humanitarians who lost their lives in service. Today & always, we remember them.

Humanitarians on the frontlines must be better protected. #NotATarget

South Sudan’s wildlife areas have been decimated by civil war, but there is now an opportunity to re-establish effective management. The LRF is happy to support Fauna & Flora International in working with the South Sudanese authorities to do exactly that. 👏

"Hong Kong passed a new law on Wednesday that classifies wildlife trafficking as an organised crime issue, a move welcomed by conservationists because it will give law enforcement wider powers to combat the trade." via @FRANCE24 https://t.co/EECmkWScg2

Women & children affected by floods in Rubkono County, #SouthSudan.

The most vulnerable people have contributed least to the global climate emergency but are hit the hardest.

For #WorldHumanitarianDay, let’s race to place their needs front and centre. Join #TheHumanRace.

This past month, we commend the arrest of 8 elephant poachers+traffickers and the success of our K9 unit in stopping a shipment of ivory from leaving the country via Juba airport.
