@WWF where did the 77.8 Million Dollars for the Recharge Pakistan Program from the Green Climate Fund, @UsAiDPaid @CocaCola go? @WWFPak Who have industrialists on their Board? Did Charters work in Pakistan?
WWF-Pakistan@WWFPak

Climate change, deforestation, poor planning, and obstructed waterways have left us more vulnerable to disasters. Which is why it’s critical for all of us as policymakers, businesses, and governments to adopt actionable measures that build climate resilience for generations to come. Hear from our expert,@MakhdoomMasood, on where we went wrong and how the Climate Crises Charter (2022) offers solutions for a climate-resilient future.

The @MoEFCC has patted itself on the back for #India’s modest (& false) #forest cover increase as per the 2023 @ForestSurvey report #ISFR2023, a sham which #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & myself unravel here: x.com/prernabindra/s…. There are more shockers in #ISFR2023 #India’s #GreenCoverScam. Read an analysis by #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika & myself : 1/n 🧵👇 shorturl.at/wutF1
prerna singh bindra 🐘🐅🐾@prernabindra

What’s more, the #ISFR2023 highlights & propagates the Green Credit program, which provides ‘land banks’ for compensatory #afforestation compliance & facilitates diversion of forest lands for non-forestry purposes. Far from being a robust, transparent scientific exercise it covers up the scale of #India’s #forest loss & presents inflated data to facilitate user agencies & the ease of doing business.

16 years ago, I created a Facebook group 'Birds Bangladesh' just for fun and to exchange birdwatching info, which gradually evolved into nation's largest citizen-science-driven online database for biodiversity. Several papers were published using that dataset; here is how:

Ever wondered how to harvest species locality data from #Facebook and use it in #biodiversity/#conservation assessments? See our new method paper, published in @ConBiology. @UQ_CBCS @UQ_News @idiv @UniJena @UFZ_de doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

Given the date and surname, I assume that the pro-Empire Mr Bandaranaike is S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike, at the time an aspiring @OxfordUnion hack studying at House, and later on Prime Minister of an independent Sri Lanka

#OnThisDay in 1869, Charles Darwin wrote to Alfred Russel Wallace "I hope you have not murdered too completely your own & my child." He was referring to their joint theory of evolution, after learning that Wallace didn't believe the theory extended to humans.

I'm quite sceptical of these kinds of approaches, esp the 'de-extinction' approach from Colossal. Rather than high-tech, costly restorations, wouldn't it be much better to focus those ££ on maintaining wild habitat & existing #biodiversity?
Re:wild@rewild

(1/3)❓What if bringing the Thylacine back from extinction could pull living species back from the brink of extinction? #rewild #itiscolossal #rewilding #conservation #bioscience

Rather saddening that a photo of a pheasant was a category winner in the British Wildlife Photo Awards. Perhaps next year I should enter a photo of a stray housecat?

There was once a donkey rush in Pakistan because of Chinese market demand. Remember even our provincial government established a donkey farm
WildCRU, Oxford@WildCRU_Ox

Research by WildCRU & @OxfordSBS highlights how the #donkey #skin #trade, is linked to unsustainable wildlife & timber trades. This work has informed a new continent-wide ban by the African Union on the trade in donkey skins. See bit.ly/3Ti6V8B & bit.ly/3PkPDpV
