In 2020, @ConservationOrg launched the Mantalingahan Landscape Conservation Project, a five-year effort to restore and protect the Mount Mantalingahan landscape, which is located on the Philippine island of Palawan. conservation.org/corporate-enga…
Palawan has the most mangrove cover in the Philippines, spanning nearly 60,000 hectares. These mangroves buffering coastal communities from storm surges, are nurseries for marine species, support local food security, & absorb & store enormous amounts of climate-warming carbon. Image
Only an estimated 430-750 Philippine cockatoos are believed to remain in the wild. The Mantalingahan Landscape supports healthy mangroves that are essential for this large parrot, as well as many other species, making it one of the most important bird habitats in the Philippines. Image

Today is #BiodiversityDay at #COP27.

So what do birds, butterflies, and badgers have to do with climate change?

So here's a 🧵 ↓ full of🦉 🦋 🦡 🌳
Around 18% of global emissions come from agriculture, forestry, and land use.

The majority of deforestation is driven by farming, meaning we can't separate nature from farming ourworldindata.org/deforestation

To continue celebrating #BiodiversityDay, we would like to introduce one of the institutions that work together with UNU-BIOLAC to train researchers in the region: "Red de Genética para la Conservación" – @ReGeneC

#UNUBIOLAC2022 #Biotechnology #Biotech Image
Since 2004, @ReGeneC has worked alongside different experts in genetics to help form researchers from Latin America and The Caribbean. They contribute with an integral vision of the conservation process, considering diverse aspects of the context where it will be applied.🧬 Image
@ReGeneC supports the conservation of the region's biodiversity by preparing different professionals in specialized courses to apply genetics to their respective research. 👩‍🔬

Up to this moment, ReGeneC has fourteen courses and two conferences under its belt. Image

Did you know that this week marks #EndangeredSpeciesDay and #BiodiversityDay?

We honor these days by highlighting the need to change our eating habits and fashion choices to protect animals from going extinct.👇1/10
Animals play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy #environment. For example:

- beaver dams prevent fires
- squirrels help trees take root
- #fish feces can lock carbon away for 600 years
- elephants create water sources for other species

Our current food system is a key driver of #BiodiversityLoss, a 2021 report by @ChathamHouse found.

The expansion of #AnimalAgriculture, in particular, destroys ecosystems by turning them into pasture or farmland to grow feed. @CaroChristen reports. 3/10

Komend week staat in het teken van #biodiversiteit en #natuurbescherming

21 mei is het #Natura2000 dag

en 22 mei #BiodiversityDay

Om dat te vieren verzorg ik namens @MooiWageningen een excursie langs drie natuurgebieden, met als thema 30 jaar #Natura2000 ImageImageImageImage
Tijdens de excursie fietsen we langs de natuurgebieden en zal ik van alles vertellen over het natuurbeleid en de biodiversiteit in deze omgeving.

Aanmelden kan via excursie@mooiwageningen.nl

We starten 13:30 uur in het Binnenveld

mooiwageningen.nl/natura-2000-fi…
Wie meer wil weten over biodiversiteit en het beschermen ervan kan ik het boek Bescherming van Biodiversiteit een weerbarstige uitdaging van harte aanbevelen

Last month, Nova Scotia passed the #Biodiversity Act – “An Act to Provide for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in Nova Scotia”. This important act largely flew under the radar, so we need to give this some attention on #BiodiversityDay 2021. A thread. 1/16
It's a good news-bad news story.
Congratulations to @ecelaw and @EcologyAction, who did critical research and government outreach that facilitated the passage of Canada’s first dedicated Biodiversity Act. 2/16
Why is this law important? This is the first statute in Canada devoted to the protection of biodiversity in the full meaning of the word. 3/16 cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Let us Swiftly address the biodiversity crisis and to reverse the declines in biodiversity. We need to start now, in a big way. No more tokenism. #BiodiversityDay @IPBES @GretaThunberg @HollyWildChild @GreeneIndy @GreenFGeorge @BBCSpringwatch @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin

This #BiodiversityDay, we are facing 3 global crises: #climatechange, #biodiversity loss, and a #pandemic crisis.

At the core, all 3 are about our destructive relationship with nature. Hope for solving them is the same, too: we must halt environmental degradation. (1/8) Image
Today, a new @TheWCS report shows the more we modify nature, the more likely we are to cause zoonotic spillovers.

Activities like land conversion & wildlife trade & consumption in areas of high biodiversity increase contact rates w/wildlife & raise risk. bit.ly/2ZAniCS Image
In fact, preserving intact forests is one of most powerful & cost-effective solutions we have to combat all 3 threats. (3/8)

It's #WorldBiodiversityDay today! The complexity of life is amazing, but also begs one question: what did the first life form on Earth actually look like?

Let's find out... #FridayMotivation Image
Now there's no universally agreed definition of life: even Erwin Schrödinger was uncertain what it was. But an ability to resist entropy, to reproduce, to mutate, to have a metabolism and to self-organise feature in most definitions.
And whatever life is we reliably assume it's all interlinked in some way. We still use the medieval idea of a 'tree of life' to map the connections and currently scientists believe this tree has either two or three fundamental branches. Image

It's International Day for Biodiversity! Reply with your favourite animal or plant. Like this tweet and I'll share one endemic species from the Philippines 💚 #IDB2020 #BiodiversityDay
My fave bird is the endangered Visayan tarictic hornbill 🥰 In the wild, this species can now only be found in Negros and Panay islands. Follow Talarak Foundation on IG for news on their captive breeding program for these. #IBD2020 #BiodiversityDay Image
Staying with island endemics theme, here's a Visayan spotted deer. They're endangered. Endemic to West Visayan region but presently only known from forest patches in Negros & Panay. @silliman_u CENTROP has a captive breeding program for this species. #IBD2020 #BiodiversityDay Image
