Today is the day! We’re starting a new chapter over on conservation.org

This new beginning celebrates the very core of our work around the world: People.

The people determined to ensure a healthy future, the people whose lives are impacted every day, and YOU.

An abandoned fishing net over 300 feet long threatened wildlife in Mexico's Espíritu Santo Archipelago National Park.

Thanks to a joint effort by Mexico’s environmental agencies, the Navy, COBI, and Conservation International Mexico — supported by SC Johnson — the net has been removed.

Sustainable practices benefit both people and nature, as seen in Fiji's Barotu community — planting 30 million trees by 2035.

For coastal Indigenous communities in Sumba, Indonesia, people are learning skills to ride waves — and protect what's underneath them. 🌊

When cities grow with biodiversity in mind, both people and nature thrive. “BiodiverCities” shows how restoring ecosystems and making space for wildlife brings lasting benefits to urban life.

The golden dart frog: beautiful, deadly, but under threat. 🐸

Xochimilco may be the last wild axolotl habitat, but sightings are rare. eDNA shows they survive near restored chinampa refuges—reviving a traditional farming system with UNAM & Conservation International Mexico —improving water, aiding communities & keeping hope alive.

"Protecting nature isn't about walling off resources from people; protected areas can actually enhance what nature provides for people." Alex Zvoleff, @conservationorg.bsky.social 🐟

Increasing ocean temperatures means sharks are leaving their usual haunts to seek cooler water. This is bad news for ocean and reef health, but we can encourage their return. 🦈

Conservation International Mexico, in collaboration with local partners, is working to remove the "ghost net" issue one piece of abandoned fishing gear at a time.

New conservation corridor in Ecuador — the Palora–Pastaza: 316,000+ hectares connecting forests & Indigenous lands.

A major win for biodiversity and the communities that call this place home.

Every species has an important role to play in nature, and the unlikeliest of allies are waiting just around the corner — or in the water. 🐊

Birds are picky eaters, preferring fruit that perfectly fits within their beaks.

But they are being driven from their habitats and ideal food sources due to climate change and human interference.

This may have big consequences for Earth's forests. 🌳

Afro-descendant communities have long protected the lands they live on—lands that today store carbon, shelter biodiversity, and sustain entire ecosystems.

A new study from @conservationorg.bsky.social shows just how critical their role is in confronting the climate and nature crises.
