Incredible human effort and determination bring success in the arena.  It shows what's possible when people commit. Leaders must take action and tackle the climate crisis and nature loss – to protect people and the planet. Together, we can #ChangeClimateChange.

By combining their local culture and ancestral knowledge with formal protection, local communities in Kavewa, Fiji, are working together to build climate and community resilience to protect their Cakaulevu. 🤝 Cakaulevu, also known as Fiji’s Great Sea Reef, is the third-longest continuous barrier reef system in the world. 🌊 Its health is directly linked to the #IndigenousPeoples across Fiji who rely on its resources for their livelihood, well-being and culture. It also contributes to global climate resilience and food supply chains across the world. 🌏 Their inspiring efforts to protect this irreplaceable seascape are already reaping benefits… Find out more 👇 https://lnkd.in/evjTCBNP

🐨🍃 Meet Australia’s most famous koala - Claude! Dubbed the ‘leaf thief’, he was caught munching on $6,000 worth of eucalyptus seedlings last year at a local nursery, intended to be planted for native wildlife in the area. All fun aside, this uncommon behaviour shows that food sources are scarce, as koalas are not regular guests at the nursery. Thanks to the generous donations of WWF supporters, WWF-Australia was recently able to get his munched seedlings planted in the ground to support other koalas and wildlife in the area.

These are the records we don’t want to break. Do you agree we need greater action to #ChangeClimateChange?

Teamwork for people and planet: That's why we work together with WWF 🌎 Creating more impact together: With this goal in mind, we at Lidl are now working together as part of a strategic international partnership with WWF. Building on from existing local partnerships, for example in Switzerland and Austria, the new international partnership will involve 31 countries. The global ecological and social challenges of our time can only be managed if we work together. That is why it is time to join forces. 💪 As one of Europe's largest food retailer and one of the world's most experienced conservation organisations, the long-term cooperation with WWF will focus on working along Lidl’s value chain, thereby helping to address the global ecological challenges of our time, and ensuring that more households have access to more sustainable choices. 💚 Christoph Pohl, Chief Purchasing Officer at Lidl International, explains the reasons for the partnership: “In our role as one of the largest food retailers, we are aware of our responsibility and our influence. We take responsibility with the aim of doing business within planetary boundaries. For Lidl, sustainable management is not only a question of attitude, but also the basis for the future viability of our business model. With the support and expertise of WWF, we will now take our commitment to sustainability to the next level. We can only overcome major global challenges such as climate change and nature loss by working together. That's why we believe in strong partnerships to work together to provide more sustainable choices.” This long-term partnership is another cornerstone of our commitment to driving sustainability as part of our international CSR strategy. Together, we are committed to responsible sourcing of raw materials, combating food waste and protecting the climate and biodiversity. Comprehensive, ambitious sustainability targets across the entire retail value chain form the core of the collaboration with the aim of providing customers with more sustainable choices. 🛒 Join us as we achieve great goals together!

Thailand has become the FIRST country in Southeast Asia to increase its wild tiger population! 🐯👏 Wild tiger populations have increased from 148-189, to between 179-223 in 2024. We hope this success inspires greater action for tiger recovery. When we protect tigers, we protect so much more
