On World Migratory Bird Day today, we take a moment to consider the dozens of species of migratory birds from the North and the South that travel to the Amazon rainforest in search of food and shelter that isn't available during their usual habitats during the harsher parts of the year. The migration can be long and hard, and some birds can lose up to 30% of their body weight during the journey, and they need to restore and replenish once they arrive in the rainforest. This is yet another reason why preserving and restoring the rainforest is so important! #worldmigratorybirdday

Humans need at least 20% of (semi-)natural habitats in human-modified landscapes and contact with nature to survive and be happy: https://lnkd.in/eYd9xPA5

To mark World Migratory Bird Day 2024 attention is being focused on the importance of insects and their impact on migratory birds. The theme: Protect Insects, Protect Birds highlights the importance of insects for insectivorous migratory birds which rely on a variety of insects for their energy as they migrate north in winter. A reduction in insect populations threatens the survival of these species. to read more, visit: https://lnkd.in/ds-__gpE

Earth is our real home and species living here are our real family members. So why we are exploiting our home? Completely horrendous 💔 1) #EndExtinctionNow 2) #SaveOurSpecies 3) #HumanImpactOnEarth 4) #ProtectOurPlanet 5) #StopAnimalCruelty 6) #ConservationEfforts 7) #sustainableliving

As the grip of winter loosens and the first signs of spring begin to emerge, a sense of anticipation fills the air—not just among us humans eager for warmer days, but also within the avian world.💚 Read our latest blog on spring migration in the UK: https://lnkd.in/eU7wiuVb

Absolutely, restoring wetlands is indeed a crucial step towards preserving our biodiversity. Wetlands are the ultimate biodiversity hotspots, containing a greater concentration of life than anywhere else1. However, they are seriously imperiled and we’ve lost nearly 35% of the world’s wetlands between 1970 and 2015. . On this #WorldEndangeredSpeciesDay, let’s highlight a few wetland species that have defied the odds: Curlew (Numenius arquata): The largest European wading bird, recognizable by its long, down-curved bill. Although the UK is home to a quarter of the global breeding population of curlews, the numbers fell by 64% from 1970 to 2014. Water vole (Arvicola amphibious): This British mammal lives in the banks of rivers and wetlands. It has experienced the fastest decline of any native UK mammal in the 20th century. And of course, the Madagascar pochard (Aythya innotata), one of the rarest birds on the planet. Thought to be extinct in the late 1990s, specimens of the species were rediscovered at Lake Matsaborimena near Bemanevika in Madagascar in 2006. By 2017, a captive breeding program had produced a population of around 90 individuals. These species, and many others, remind us of the resilience of nature and the importance of our conservation efforts. Let’s continue to work towards a healthier ecosystem and biodiversity of species in wetlands and beyond. #EMerfalen

There are still magnificent ocean wildlife and wild places worth saving. Watching BBC Earth South Pacific, with extraordinary images, soundscape, and #storytelling of an ocean world that is our life support system. I ask Mother Ocean to give us all the strength to take action on the #climatecrisis and #biodiversityloss Be courageous. Be brave. Be strong. Take action now, today, so we can save and protect ocean wildlife and wild places. https://lnkd.in/ge2N6i7g
