Tomorrow, Wednesday 31 August, I will participate as a panelist on behalf of Fundación Pro-hábitat in the "National Meeting of BiodiverCiudades" in the city of Sucre, organised by CAF -banco de desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe- with the support of the Autonomous Municipal Government of Sucre. It will be an excellent opportunity to share the experience of the Waycha Mayu Urban Biological Corridor and exchange on the need and urgency to take concrete measures and actions against the effects of climate change and the loss of biodiversity in urban areas in Bolivia. #biologicalcorridor #urbanbilogicalcorridor #Sucre #Sacaba #Bolivia #waychamayu #governance #environmentalgovernance #participatorydesign #sustainabledesign #environmentalrestoration #publicspace #urbanparks #greenareas #biodiversity #biodiverciudades #sustainablemobility

🌊 On June 7-8, the Fonds français pour l'environnement mondial (FFEM) will join global ocean experts at the #Immersed in Change conference, organized by Costa Rica ahead of the Third UN Ocean Conference (#UNOC2025), co-hosted by Costa Rica and France in Nice, June 2025. This High-Level Event serves as a platform to exchange best practices and successful initiatives related to #ocean governance and health. It aims to highlight key issues on the global ocean agenda and drive impactful actions to combat severe environmental challenges. More info here ▷ https://urlz.fr/qTII

Recovery of European freshwater diversity, which was evident in the 1990's after decades of ecosystem deterioration, has apparently come to a halt. More efforts are needed if the previous improvements if we don't want the previous improvements to be reversed. https://rdcu.be/djfIS La recuperación de la biodiversidad fluvial en Europa, que fue evidente en los años 90 del siglo XX tras décadas de deterioro ecosistémico, aparentemente se ha detenido. Se necesitan más esfuerzos, si queremos que las mejoras previas no se reviertan. https://rdcu.be/djfIS

#InternationalDayofForests   Did you know that we preserve 5,744 hectares of #nativeforest? We preserve 0.75 hectares of native forest per productive hectare. The Yungas forests in Tucumán are areas of high environmental value due to their ecological biodiversity and importance. In comparison with other Yungas forests, the capacity of carbon storage in Citrusvil’s forests is 60 % higher.   Since 2016, we have been part of the Protected Productive Landscape Program of Fundación ProYungas. We strike a balance between production and biodiversity conservation. We are production and future.

🌊 The state of Queretaro and Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda I.A.P. are making waves at this year’s #ClimateWeekNYC and for good reason. 🎯 Amid all the recent controversies surrounding forest #carbonoffsetting projects, Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda I.A.P. Biodiversity Carbon Protocol provides proof this can be done with #integrity, and with a solid #social and #biodiversity agenda. https://lnkd.in/eT5E52kF 🌱 The protocol was co-developed bottom-up, together with local communities and organizations, including the State of Queretaro. Unlike carbon credits, #carbonoffsetting units are retired immediately after purchase and cannot be traded. 🌱 Unlike your usual #carboncertification schemes and related transactions, more than 90% of the proceeds go to local communities and operations on the ground. No costly and cumbersome consulting services needed. ❗With the protocol, the State of Queretaro has also made history❗Twice. 1️⃣ As the first Mexican state to operate a local carbon mechanism through its Secretariat of Sustainable Development of Querétaro, México (SEDESU - Secretaría De Desarrollo Sustentable Querétaro). This includes the Queretaro Low Emissions Label (Sello Querétaro de Bajas Emisiones). 2️⃣ As 1 of the 9 subnational government organizations of global importance in the fight against climate change invited to this year’s Climate Ambition Summit.   🌳 Grupo Ecológico has been protecting and restoring the Sierra Gorda area for more than three decades, resulting in the lowest deforestation rate in the region and thriving flora and fauna such as the yellow monarch butterfly and the puma. ✅ The protocol allows any landowner in the area and the broader State of Queretaro to participate and get compensated for the provision of #ecosystemservices. The whole explorer.land team is proud to collaborate on implementing the registry for this revolutionary #carbon protocol! #generationrestoration #transparency #climateaction #monitoring Laura P.

Game-changer for nature finance and biodiversity funding? Colombia's government aims at raising a $1 billion Fund for Life and Biodiversity, to help protect its marvelous natural ecosystems. Funding is expected to come from five sources: 80% of the collection of Colombia’s National Carbon Tax, the General Budget of the Nation, national and international development cooperation, donations and contributions in any capacity from public and private entities. As protecting and conserving #Colombia’s mega-diverse #biodiversity hotspots are vital to curbing the effects of #climate change and #nature degradation, this initiative deserves global attention and widespread support. 🙏🏾🌎🌳

On 22 May, the Portuguese partners of the NaturaConnect project, together with several stakeholders, gathered at the Tapada de Mafra for the 2nd Think Tank of the project to discuss the possibilities of public and private funding for biodiversity conservation in the context of climate change. Besides Miguel B. Araújo, who led this initiative, MED - Instituto Mediterrâneo para a Agricultura, Ambiente e Desenvolvimento was also represented by Carla Janeiro, who presented her research project on Biodiversity Credits as a solution to mobilize private financing for biodiversity conservation.   Find out more about the project at https://naturaconnect.eu/

💲 Wetlands provide us with key ecosystem services 💧 "However, the essential structure of these ecosystems has been largely destroyed. Europe has lost up to 87% of its original wetland area in the last 300 years, meaning that these valuable services have been lost and water and climate change problems are worsening before our eyes. This situation presents us with ambitious challenges - scaling up the restoration of degraded wetlands towards restoring past wetland landscapes", says Shane Mc Guinness, Ph.D. Co-Coordinator of WaterLANDS for WODNE SPRAWY. #WaterLANDS #mokradła #CentrumOchronyMokradel #PolskaNagrodaInteligentnegoRozwoju #projektPrzyszlości #H2020 #GreenDeal #WetlandsRestoration #Biodiversity
