Check out @vladyrusso's #COP27 interview @mongabay on why peat in Angola can be a climate change solution: “There is a pristine ecosystem that can be a potential solution for carbon sequestration in the area, and has not been studied enough, and has not been understood enough."
Mongabay@mongabay

As negotiations over slowing climate change unfold at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, a group of scientists and conservationists is pushing for recognition of the Angolan Highlands as a vital carbon sink. news.mongabay.com/2022/11/protec…

Protecting the Okavango Basin represents one of the most critical conservation opportunities in Africa this decade. "We have an opportunity to make history here. This is an ecosystem that benefits three countries," said @intotheOkavango’s @vladyRusso at #COP27. 📷@Nature4Climate

Thank you for the opportunity to share why protecting the Okavango Basin is so important for the planet, for nature, and for people! 🇦🇴🇳🇦🇧🇼 #COP27 #NGOWP

"To know is to protect" 🌿➕ While the #Okavango Delta is protected, 95% of water comes from areas which are not 💧 Protecting the entire Basin is one of the biggest conservation opportunities in Africa. Ian Miller @BogoloKenewendo, @vladyrusso @InsideNatGeo #NaturePositive

The #NGOWP team recently documented a species of bat that's specific to the remote highlands of Angola 🇦🇴 They explain why bats are a sign of a healthy ecosystem - & why Angola's highlands deserve further study as a "hotspot" for 🦇 species doi.org/10.1093/zoolin… #BatWeek2022

According to a new study by an #NGOWP team of international scientists, Angola’s highlands are an important hotspot for bats. Historical records and recent studies suggest it may be home to at least 73 unique species of bat! Happy #BatWeek2022 🦇 📸 by Fenton Cotterill

#NatGeoExplorer Koki Mookodi grew up a bus ride away from the Okavango Delta - but never learned about it in school. That's why she's determined to improve the quality of science and conservation education in her native Botswana 📷 @Thalefang on.natgeo.org/6010MePf2
