Only two days left for #COP16Colombia, and tomorrow is the closing plenary! Our team is still on the ground, working to ensure animals and their welfare are at the heart of the decisions – making every moment count! 🐾💚 #Animals4Biodiversity #PeaceWithNature

The 69th IWC meeting was pivotal for #whales. We supported the EU resolution to uphold the ban on commercial whaling, and we showed government delegates the shocking brutality of whaling operations. Curious about what really went on? @edgoodall gives you the inside scoop here: tinyurl.com/ynyyefyk 📷Sean Steininger

@whalesorg Wish you were here @ErichHoyt!

Day 3 of #IWC69 in #Lima! Everything still at stake for whales here in #Peru but grateful to see a strong and united message on #welfare from governments and NGOs alike! Big issues will all be voted on tomorrow. Will #whales win or lose? Stay tuned! @whalesorg

Here we go for #IWC69 in #Peru! @whalesorg are here with many whale conservation heroes and unfortunately a few others who want to kill whales, chop them up and sell them. Mad huh? There's a lot at stake this week, including the #moratorium on commercial whaling... Let's go!

Last week, together with @whalesorg & @ifawglobal we hosted a @UNFCCC panel discussion on the crucial link between #Wildlife and #ClimateChange, exploring how animals contribute to thriving ecosystems. 🎥 Catch the recording here: youtube.com/watch?v=wnUauE…

At @UNFCCC #SB60, we had an inspiring conversation on how improving #AnimalWelfare can help us: 1. Mitigate #ClimateChange 2. Halt & reverse #Biodiversity loss 3. Making #FoodSystems sustainable A must watch for those who want to see our planet thrive: bit.ly/45iQWwq

Proud to be continuing our work with incredible #animal partners to put our #animal allies squarely in the middle of progressive #UN policy for #climate, #biodiversity and #sustainabledevelopment at @UNFCCC #SB60 next month. #SaveTheWhaleSaveTheWorld

Protecting animal health and welfare helps to build healthier communities, sustainable food systems, preserve biodiversity, and advance progress towards the @GlobalGoalsUN. On the other hand, neglecting animal health and welfare, including through illegal wildlife trade, puts us all at risk of epidemics and pandemics from zoonotic spillovers. I thank the @WrldFed4Animals for thier continued commitment to protecting the health and welfare of animals – and by extension, the health of people. #OneHealth

@thegsyscientist The pair have been seen recently though, so perhaps there is a fighting chance this poor little one might make it through! Fingers crossed as we need every single one!

Heartbreaking images of an innocent calf born into a world it can never adapt to. We must do so much better to make our shared world a more compassionate and safer home for everyone we share it with.
