Nine sihek (Guam kingfisher) chicks are living in the wild for the first time since the 1980s at TNC's Palmyra Atoll Preserve and Research Station. Palmyra is one of the healthiest land and ocean ecosystems on the planet, thanks to decades of protection and restoration by TNC and our partners. This predator-free atoll, with its abundant forest canopy and prey, offers these once extinct-in-the-wild birds a perfect home. Our nearly 25-year investment in developing a living laboratory at Palmyra is benefiting both species like the sihek and biodiversity as a whole. This project would not be possible without the hard work of the many partners of the Sihek Recovery Project including the Guam Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, many from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums especially Sedgwick County Zoo, Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, The Nature Conservancy in Hawai'i and Palmyra, The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy in California, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Zoological Society of London (ZSL).

These birds are almost extinct. A radical idea could save them. washingtonpost.com - Esta semana se desarrolla la Semana del Clima de Nueva York #NYCW, donde The Nature Conservancy ha organizado una interesante agenda de eventos con temas de interés global. Nuestra directora ejecutiva para América Latina, Paula Caballero, fue parte del panel "Construyendo juntos una economía equitativa para los guardianes de la naturaleza de comunidades locales y pueblos indígenas", donde autoridades y organizaciones brasileñas destacaron el importante rol de comunidades locales y pueblos indígenas en la preservación de los bosques amazónicos y sus servicios ecosistémicos, que contrasta con un mínimo financiamiento. Profundizando en las posibles alternativas, El Pais publica "Cómo lograr una economía equitativa para los guardianes de la naturaleza", donde Paula Caballero y Rony Brodsky, directora de finanzas para pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales de TNC, abordan opciones tales como las inversiones basadas en derechos de tenencia, y avances en regulación como la ley de importación libre de deforestación de la European Union, además de citar algunos ejemplos exitosos. Los invitamos a revisar la columna en este link https://lnkd.in/da-GEQmg
- As we continue our advocacy from #ClimateWeekNYC to #COP29, TNC is pushing for bold, tangible action to address climate change. Our COP29 Scorecard is built around three core priorities: 1️⃣ Phase Out Fossil Fuels: We must accelerate the equitable phase-out of fossil fuels to achieve net zero by 2050 or sooner and transition to renewable energy. 2️⃣ Build Climate-Resilient Societies: We must empower groups who steward nature to secure their homes, livelihoods and futures. 3️⃣ Invest in Nature-Positive Financial Flows: We must inspire commitments and investments in nature- positive projects, policies and practices. And as you can read below, we are coming with ten specific policy requests we want to see implemented at the global level. COP29 is our chance to turn promises into progress. Let’s push for the action we need. 💚 #EveryActionMatters
- As world leaders gather in New York this week, the energy transition is high on the agenda. We’ve joined forces with Global Renewables Alliance and 100 other organisations who are urging countries to commit to ambitious, specific, and actionable targets to accelerate progress. We need to go smart to go fast—deploying renewable energy in ways that support goals for climate, conservation, and communities.

They won't remember: - your salary - how "busy" you were - how many hours you worked What they will remember: - how you overcame barriers to the challenges our planet faces by taking small actions every day towards a sustainable future, creating a ripple effect of hope that reached more people than you could've realized - how often you go birding - that you never forget bug spray - Potato, Po-tah-to 🥔 In the potato-growing hub of Idaho, Ladd Wahlen is raising his crop differently. Traditionally, farmers till their potato fields multiple times, then use fungicides, insecticides and synthetic fertilizers. Wahlen tills just once and plants companion crops—grown simultaneously with his potatoes—to build up soil biology that naturally protects them from disease. His practices are paying off: He spends less on fuel and chemicals and saves time in the field. “I think the biggest benefit is that it’s more profitable,” Wahlen says. “If we’re able to grow more natural systems, with less need for synthetic applications and less tillage, and maintain yield and quality, that benefits the bottom line.” Wahlen sells some of his tubers and uses the rest to make potato chips for his company, Roots. He’s teamed up with The Nature Conservancy on a 45-acre demonstration farm where he shares his techniques. “This is a better way,” says Brad Johnson, regenerative agriculture senior advisor for The Nature Conservancy. “We’re not using nearly as many fossil fuels, fewer synthetic fertilizers, and we’re allowing the soil to sequester carbon. And from a nutrient density standpoint, we can get a higher-quality food.” That means healthier soil, less erosion and more nutrient-dense potatoes. “And really good potato chips,” Johnson adds. 📸: Stocksy
