Infographic on beige background with IPBES logo, featuring a statistic "35% of the world's mammals live in the Americas." The image is dominated by an illustrated brown grizzly bear in a sitting position, rendered in a detailed artistic style. The bear's fur is depicted in various shades of brown, with distinct facial features and paws visible. Citation from IPBES 2018 regional assessment appears at bottom. The design combines statistical information with wildlife illustration to represent American biodiversity.

Astonishing biodiversity! 🐻

The Americas host 35% of the world's mammals, plus a significant share of birds, amphibians, and reptiles. Conserving these ecosystems is key to maintaining nature's balance.

Implementation focus: tax-classification multipliers, regional assessment districts and reporting deadlines under Act 73 Staff and Legislative Council described the new non-homestead residential tax classification, statutory multipliers, regional assessment districts (county-based reassessment districts) phased in to 2029, and required reports (including a Jan. 15 tax-department/JFO implementation report).

Vermont's new Act 73 introduces a groundbreaking tax classification for second homes and short-term rentals, paving the way for regional assessment districts by 2029—are you ready for the changes ahead?

The image shows a lush tropical forest with a large red circle overlay. In the foreground, there are large palm leaves and vibrant tropical plants. The background features a dense green canopy extending over hills. The red circle contains the main text: "Tropical forests cover 10% of all land area and represent about half of global species richness." Below, the source in smaller text: "Regional Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Americas" The "ipbes" logo is visible in the top left corner.

#DYK More than 50% of the tropical forest area is represented by moist tropical forests, characterized by high tree-species diversity and high biomass density? 🌳🌴🌏🧪
