A powerful symbol of hope hatched in Colombia’s lush Huila landscape.     There are less than 1,000 black and chestnut eagles left in the wild, but forest restoration and sustainable coffee-growing practices are helping this endangered bird of prey soar again.     The HYLEA Pact, an initiative supported by Conservación Internacional Colombia, the Government of Huila, CAM, and IDH, with additional support from Starbucks and the Walmart Foundation, strengthens local economies and help secure a healthy future for both people, wildlife and the forests they depend on. https://lnkd.in/ev7ump3U

#GivingTuesday IS HERE.   All across the globe, nature is in crisis because of climate change. The Amazon is crucial to sustaining life on Earth but it is only 10-15 years away from hitting an irreversible tipping point;   But THERE IS STILL HOPE. We can avoid climate catastrophe— and at the heart of the solution is protecting and restoring nature.   ACT TODAY, JOIN CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL’S MISSION TO PROTECT THE PLANET, and MAKE DOUBLE THE IMPACT thanks to a match from our Leadership Council, up to $50,000. 👇👇👇https://lnkd.in/enqdab9V

Beneath moss & flooded forests, within layers of roots & peat, lies a carbon vault that has been sealed for millennia.     New Conservation International research shows that while much of this carbon is slipping away, a wave of protection is beginning to slow the loss.

The UK government and Conservation International have joined hands to deliver a new chapter of conservation impact in the Eastern Himalayas, the world’s most populated biodiversity hotspot. Slated for completion in 2026, the Mountains to Mangroves Atlas is supported by the UK government’s flagship regional program, Climate Action for a Resilient Asia. From the peaks of Nepal and Bhutan to the mangrove deltas of Bangladesh and India, this first-of-its-kind, open-source digital mapping tool will provide a complete picture of where nature protection and restoration can deliver the greatest benefit for people and landscapes across the Eastern Himalayas. More than a technical milestone, the partnership “will help unlock far larger flows of public and private investment in nature-based solutions across one of the world's most climate-vulnerable regions,” said Rob Fenn, British Ambassador to Nepal. In few places on Earth does nature sustain as many people as in the Eastern Himalayas. With this support from the UK government, we are another step closer to securing the well-being of ecosystems, people, and wildlife across the region — from mountains to mangroves. https://lnkd.in/eJknTNAq British High Commission in India British High Commission in Bangladesh

In the foothills of the Andes, where mountains slope into the Amazon basin, the forests of Alto Mayo thrum with life. The Alto Mayo, named for the upper stretch of the Mayo River, protects the cloud forests where the river begins — a landscape of steep slopes, hidden valleys and unique pockets of biodiversity. But its richness has also made it vulnerable. Since the 1970s, waves of migrants have come to grow coffee and cacao, clear-cutting forests into farmland and straining the ecosystems that support the region. For 15 years, Conservation International has worked with local people to halt the deforestation of Alto Mayo, by helping them grow their crops in ways that sustain nature. Today, the success of that program has helped it reach new, far-flung corners of the greater Peruvian Amazon. Explore four stories of the forest’s people — the Awajún Indigenous communities, the coffee farmers, the patrollers, the bird watchers — who study, protect and farm the forests that sustain them. https://lnkd.in/eZDH7JB9

As #COP30 concludes in Belém, Conservation International calls on governments, companies, and communities to carry forward the Brazilian spirit of mutirão — collective action — and turn rising global momentum into real progress for climate and nature. Lina Barrera, Senior Vice President of Global Policy and Government Affairs at Conservation International, shares what you need to know about the conclusion of negotiations.

A report years in the making was released this week at #COP30 in Brazil. It could — just maybe — help settle one of the oldest disputes in conservation: that forests and farms are somehow irrevocably at odds. The report finds forests are critically beneficial to farming — and that this age-old dispute over land use is as faulty as many have been saying for years. According to Michael Wolosin, senior climate adviser at Conservation International, the politics behind the report matter almost as much as what’s in it. Wolosin, who advised on the report behind the scenes, explore what the report means for the future of forests, food and the climate. https://lnkd.in/eTMQm5ym
