Which types of forests are most critical to #biodiversity conservation? Which types of wetlands are at greatest risk of collapse? Which types of reefs are most critical to ecosystem services? IUCN’s Global Typology of Ecosystems can guide you. ➡️ global-ecosystems.org

80% of the planet’s #biodiversity is found on traditional indigenous territories. Preserving #biodiversity is essential for food security & nutrition. #ClimateAction #COP28 Via @FAOclimate

Healthy people and 🌎 depend on healthy wetlands. 40% of the world’s species live or breed in wetlands, yet they are disappearing 3x faster than forests. Here are 5️⃣ reasons why we must take action to #RestoreWetlands Via @UNDP @theGEF

Nature is a #ClimateCrisis solution. WCS science shows prioritizing the restoration of degraded forest, not just cleared lands, could help meet climate and biodiversity goals more rapidly. Via @MongabayOrg. news.mongabay.com/2023/10/restor…

Great news! Our legacy landscape @OdzalaKokoua has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
