Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay!

The @IUCNRedList is a barometer of life – the world’s most comprehensive source of information on the global extinction risk of animals, fungi and plants.

It includes over 172,600 species, of which more than 48,600 are threatened with extinction.

The sun will not set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the next 79 days 😮

The annual “midnight sun” season began on 10 May, when the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 a.m. @NWSFairbanks captured the last sunset and sunrise in the northernmost city in the USA until 2 August. https://t.co/Qxil18hmnh

RT @marcosathias: A just transition can help create new green jobs & build public support for climate action, but the path there isn't always straightforward.

What are the obstacles to achieving a just transition, & how can we overcome them?

80% of new national climate plans (NDCs) explicitly reference loss and damage.

Countries are increasingly recognizing climate impacts that cannot be avoided through mitigation or adaptation alone.

RT @LewisPughFDN: Ocean systems shape life on land.

Parts of the Pacific Ocean reached record surface temperatures in April, and scientists are now warning about the possible development of a major El Niño later this year.

This matters globally.

When oceans warm, the consequences do not stay at sea. More extreme rainfall. More severe drought. Greater wildfire risk. Pressure on food systems, fisheries, coral reefs, and ecosystems worldwide.

We understand the science. Increasingly, we are going to feel the consequences first-hand.

🌄 Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is the process of regaining ecological functionality and enhancing human wellbeing across deforested or degraded landscapes. It restores whole landscapes rather than isolated sites and balances ecological, social, and economic needs.

FLR is rooted in several key principles:
🟢Focus on landscapes, considering mosaics of land uses and governance systems.
🟢Maintain and enhance natural ecosystems, never converting intact or high-integrity ecosystems.
🟢Restore functionality, ensuring robust ecosystem services.
🟢Allow for multiple benefits, considering social, ecological, and economic dimensions.
🟢Tailor to local conditions, designing interventions that fit local contexts.
Involve stakeholders, embracing diverse voices and participatory processes.
🟢Manage for long-term resilience through adaptive management.

🌀In regions like the Western Balkans, communities are facing increasingly severe climate change impacts, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, floods, droughts, and forest fires. These climate challenges not only threaten biodiversity but also jeopardize the livelihoods, health, and wellbeing of local communities. FLR is a critical tool for confronting and overcoming these challenges, in the Western Balkans and beyond.

🌿 To learn more, explore the infographic below, developed through “ADAPT 2.0: Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in the Western Balkans” (https://t.co/5GYzHMspuj) funded by Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (@Sida) and implemented by @IUCN.
