RIP #JaneGoodall - one of the modern pioneers of profound interconnections between people, animals and ecosystems. Her life was lived through science, compassion and tireless advocacy for the multiple values of nature - leaving a legacy that will endure for people and planet.
*This* is leadership. And @davidobura.bsky.social is so obviously right: turning your back on facts doesn't make them go away
I am delighted to announce that Luthando Dziba has been appointed as the next Executive Secretary of @ipbes.net
A celebrated conservationist from South Africa, Luthando's work has been focused on innovative solutions to protect species & preserve the habitats that sustain them.
Welcome, Luthando!
Both climate change and biodiversity loss are intertwined crises with severe consequences for people and nature. seedling
On this #EnvironmentDay and every day, we remember the essential role of biodiversity in effective climate action.
