A whale shark viewed from above, swimming gracefully in crystal clear water over a vibrant coral reef. The shark's spotted pattern and elongated body are visible, surrounded by deep blue water, highlighting the marine environment.
🪸 According to the IPBES #GlobalAssessment , nearly a third of reef-forming corals, sharks, and their relatives are threatened. The whale shark is just one of many species at risk.
The protection of biodiversity is essential to maintaining the health and balance of ecosystems.

In 2019, IPBES #GlobalAssessment est. 1 million species of plants & animals are threatened with extinction.🥀
The figure is probably even higher, but what's important is the urgent need for #biodiversity preservation!

“Gone the way of the Dodo🦤” is more than a saying for around 1 million species, as the #GlobalAssessment warns. 🏡
But what is the perception of extinct species after they are gone? In the case of the Dodo, researchers are working to go beyond the myth 🌍

A Pinta Giant Tortoise, a large and rare species, resting on rocky terrain. Its long neck is extended upward, and its textured shell and scaly limbs are clearly visible in the sunlight.
The global species extinction rate is 10 to 100 times higher than the historical average, accelerating due to human actions, as noted in the @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment. 🏭 Since 1500, at least 680 vertebrate species, like the Pinta Giant Tortoise, have been lost.🐢
Conservation is vital #ForNature.

Figure showing two vulnerable bird species. Image (a) shows two Blue-throated Macaws perched on bare branches, displaying their distinctive green plumage with bright yellow-orange underparts and blue throat patches. Image (b) shows a Blue-headed Quail-Dove, a plump ground-dwelling bird with brown body plumage, blue-gray head markings, and reddish feet, standing on rocky ground. The caption explains these are endangered species with different responses to threat abatement measures, with photo credit to Joe Tobias. The images are labeled 'a' and 'b' and appear to be from a scientific publication about species conservation.
Mair, L. Threat explains why targeted recovery programmes are likely needed to prevent extinctions & preserve ecosystem functioning, citing the IPBES #GlobalAssessment as reference. 🐦🌱

Close-up of a Pickersgill's Reed Frog (Hyperolius pickersgilli), a small, bright green frog with smooth skin, sitting on a brown surface. The frog has large, round, dark eyes with a golden outline. Photo credit: Nick Evans.
🐸 More than 40% of amphibian species, like the Pickersgill's Reed Frog, are currently threatened, according to the IPBES #GlobalAssessment.
This highlights why global conservation efforts matter. Understanding and acting for our planet's biodiversity is more crucial than ever.
Infographic detailing seven ways to create a bird-friendly community, including planting native plants, turning off lights, avoiding pesticides, and preventing collisions.
Urban expansion can lead to habitat loss. Yet, as IPBES #GlobalAssessment shows, smart city planning + nature-based solutions can create resilient, bird-friendly cities.🌍

Social media image showing a silhouette of a person standing by a lake at dusk or dawn against a cloudy sky. Large white text reads "LET'S REVIVE OUR LAKES" with "Join #GenerationRestoration" below. Decorative elements include a yellow outlined bird, red butterflies, and green palm trees. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 logo appears at the bottom, featuring colored curved lines. Blue fish illustrations swim in the water below. The image combines a natural lake scene with graphic design elements against a dark, atmospheric background.
Today is the first #WorldLakeDay! 🏞️ Lakes are vital #ForNature, climate resilience & freshwater supply, but are degrading rapidly.🌍🧪
Urbanization is a major cause of lake losses in many countries.

An informational image comparing "Myth" versus "Reality" about biodiversity impacts. The left side labeled "Myth" states "Humans have minimal impact on global biodiversity." The right side labeled "Reality" contains a statement from the IPBES Global Assessment that reads "Human activities, such as deforestation, pollution and overexploitation, are major drivers of biodiversity loss."
❌ Myth: Human activities don’t harm biodiversity!
✅ Fact: Human actions have already driven at least 680 vertebrate species to extinction since 1500, including the Pinta Giant Tortoise in the Galapagos in 2012.

A split-screen image. The left side shows a rhinoceros mother and calf in a savanna landscape with scattered trees. The right side depicts a forest fire scene with orange flames and silhouetted trees against a dark sky. Text reads: "Biodiversity is in crisis" followed by: "1 million plant and animal species risk extinction Ecosystems are collapsing Misinformation slows progress." "Trust the science. Conserve, restore and sustainably use biodiversity."
‘Biodiversity is not declining’ is a claim you may have heard. But science says otherwise. 📉
The @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment reveals 1 million plant & animal species are at risk of extinction. Misinformation clouds the crisis.
Rely on trusted research to understand our shared challenges. 🌍🧪
An informational image about tropical biodiversity. The main text states that “The tropics are home to the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, but have also experienced the greatest loss of intact ecosystems“. The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The source is credited as "IPBES Global assessment" at the bottom.
🌴The tropics help to sustain life as we know it, but are under immense pressure. From land-use change to resource extraction, these ecosystems face a variety of challenges.

On #TropicsDay, let’s remember that conserving biodiversity-rich areas is essential.🌎🧪
An infographic about sea turtle conservation featuring three illustrated sea turtles in shades of blue, green, and yellow against a turquoise background. The image presents two key statistics: 66% of the marine environment has been significantly altered by human actions, and 86% of sea turtles are threatened by plastic. The artwork includes colorful renderings of sea turtles swimming, showing their distinctive shell patterns and features.
Did you know? Artificial lighting from coastal development confuses sea turtle hatchlings, disrupting their journey to the sea and threatening their survival. 🐢

Promotional poster for World Migratory Bird Day 2025 with the theme "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities." The illustration shows various bird species coexisting in an urban environment. In the foreground are sunflowers and native plants, with a tall gray crane and a yellow songbird. Multiple birds are shown in flight, including a peregrine falcon, stork, and other urban-adapted species. The background features a cityscape with modern buildings and white clouds against a blue sky. Organization logos appear at the bottom, including CMS, AEWA, EAAFP, and Environment for the Americas, along with a QR code. The artwork style is detailed and naturalistic, emphasizing the interaction between urban and natural elements.
🐦This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay highlighted shared spaces, creating bird-friendly cities for thriving avian diversity.
Progressive ecological urban planning shows how biodiversity conservation can be part of sustainable urban transitions.🧪🌍

Image shows an artistic digital composition with the IPBES logo featuring three women's profiles against a dark technological background illuminated by neon blue and purple lights. Abstract neural network patterns and digital elements flow around their faces. The text at the bottom reads "Building Better Futures with Women in Science”. The overall aesthetic combines futuristic technology elements with human portraiture, using a color palette of deep blues, purples, and cyan highlights. Digital grid patterns and flowing energy-like effects create a sci-fi atmosphere suggesting technological advancement and scientific progress.
Land or resource tenure insecurity, as well as declines in nature, have greater impacts on women & girls, who are most often negatively affected.
