Our biggest thanks to the participants of Climate Classic, the Klimaat Marathon and other supporters of Cycling 4 Climate! 😍 With your help, we raised over  €120,000 for #wetlands. Doneer Effectief

"For the past few years, the Pantanal has suffered prolonged drought with river levels well below average. In 2020, fires consumed over 27% of the wetland, provoking severe biodiversity loss and affecting the health, lives, and economies of thousands of people. The 2024 Pantanal fires are surpassing the figures from 2020 and the dry season has only started. Communities in and around the Pantanal have mobilized efforts with scientists, decision-makers, governments, NGOs, and landowners, to design and incorporate more efficient fire prevention and firefighting practices. Through the Corridor Azul Program, Wetlands International is working to improve management and monitoring tools, enhance indigenous communities' capacities to fight fires in remote areas, and advocate for sustainable practices and improved management. But climate change knows no boundaries and the Pantanal fires reiterate the need for immediate action, from world leaders to scale up efforts in fire fighting and prevention, especially by safeguarding and restoring our wetlands." - Rafaela Danielli Nicola, Director, Wetlands International Brasil Fudación Humedales / Wetlands International LAC https://lnkd.in/e4BRTu8K

🎉 We raised €121,218 with the #ClimateClassic and the Klimaat Marathon with Cycling 4 Climate and with support from Doneer Effectief!! 😍 We thank everyone who has donated towards our purpose to safeguard and restore wetlands for people and nature. 🌱 We also thank the participants of #ClimateClassic and Klimaat Marathon who made this day a huge success. With a rapidly changing climate, it is now more important than ever to sustain our (often overlooked) wetland ecosystems that are central to #ClimateAction and to limiting #BiodiversityLoss. #Wetlands such as #mangroves, #tidalflats #seagrass beds, #coral #reefs, #peatlands, #river #deltas, and #swamps store vast amounts of carbon, support more than a third of the world's #biodiversity, provide access to clean #water and ensure global #food security. 🌎 #ClimateClassic #klimaatverandering #wetlands #klimaatmarathon #WeNeedWetlands #ForNature #GenerationRestoration

Last Friday, 2500 people participated in Cycling 4 Climate and Running 4 Climate to raise awareness and money for the conservation and restoration of #wetlands as a critical ecosystem to combat #climatechange. With help from Doneer Effectief, over EUR 120,000 was raised! We are still overwhelmed by the success of this event, and so incredibly moved by those who cycled (some up to 375km!), ran, walked, and in other ways supported this day. Bedankt iedereen!
