World Giraffe Day World Giraffe Day is celebrated on June 21 every year.This day was initiated by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation in 2014 to celebrate the world's tallest animal on the longest day or night (depending on which hemisphere you live in) of the year. Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals. Most giraffes live in grasslands and open woodlands in East Africa. In addition, many populations are declining, with giraffes now considered 'vulnerable' to extinction. The global population of giraffes is estimated to be approximately 111,000 individuals, a figure that represents a decrease of nearly 30% since the 1980s. World Giraffe Day is celebrated to raise awareness about the conservation and protection of giraffes, as well as to highlight the challenges they face in the wild. Giraffes are facing a decline in their population due to habitat loss and other threats. By celebrating World Giraffe Day, organisations and individuals aim to educate people about the importance of giraffes in the ecosystem and the need to protect these majestic animals for future generations.

🇧🇷 Did you know that Rewild Carbon helps wild giant anteaters in Brazil? 🇧🇷 🌱 Rewild Carbon is Durrell's wild, colourful and impactful carbon balancing programme. We reduce carbon in the atmosphere by working with local partners and communities to rewild threatened ecosystems. 📡 Thanks to Rewild Carbon, we’re funding radio collars for giant anteaters. This allows our conservation partners Icas - Wild Animal Conservation Institute to monitor their behaviour and movement through the landscape. 🌿 Understanding habitat preferences will help us to establish wildlife corridors to protect giant anteaters and other species. 👇 Learn more about Rewild Carbon this #WorldAnteaterDay https://lnkd.in/g2s4DZf7 📷 Alessandra Bertassoni / ICAS

On this World Wildlife Day, let's reflect on the impact of our actions on the fate of the world's wildlife. It's imperative that each of us takes steps to protect and preserve the rich biodiversity of our planet. Together, let's work towards wildlife conservation and safeguarding endangered species. Happy World Wildlife Day! 🌍🦁🐼 #WorldWildlifeDay #WildlifeConservation #ProtectWildlife #WildlifeDay #SaveOurSpecies #ConservationEfforts #WildlifeProtection #Biodiversity #NatureConservation #WildlifeAwareness #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifePreservation #ProtectOurPlanet #ConservationAwareness #WildlifeCampaign #AnimalConservation #SustainableLiving #WildlifeEducation #GlobalConservation #WildlifeHabitat #NaturePreservation #SpeciesProtection #ConservationAction #WildlifeAdvocacy #EnvironmentalProtection

Why does this matter? Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) came into force in 1985 and has now been joined by 133 countries, known as Parties to the Convention. Of particular interest to the Born Free foundation were the 14 species that were added to the Appendices of the Convention, including the Eurasian Lynx, Pallas’s Cat, Guanaco and Sand Tiger Shark. But as more than one delegate observed, listing a species is hardly a matter to be celebrated (even if it is the result of years of hard work) because a listing is an admission of failure to protect that species from the threats it faces. Not only does a population decline mean the species is in danger, it also means that whatever role that species plays in its ecosystem is decreasing proportionately – and this affects the services provided by that ecosystem, whether the oxygen we breathe, the water we drink or the food we eat. To say nothing of the increased sequestration and storage of carbon attributable to elephants in forests and whales in the oceans, who are our allies in the fight against dangerous climate change. So, this is why migratory species matters to all of us, you, me, people and animals, birds and marine life of the world. #AllLifeMatters

A week on from the end of #CMSCoP14, here's my take on why this CoP series as just as important as the climate CoPs - many #migratoryspecies are #keystonespecies in the ecosystems that sustain us all.

This National Wildlife Week, SBI Foundation would like to highlight our conservation efforts under SBIF CONSERW, focusing on coexistence between humans and wildlife. The Foundation is actively working in over 22 protected areas to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, while promoting habitat-level and community-led conservation models. The initiatives include the protection of endangered species like tigers, elephants, vultures, and red pandas, sustainable wildlife tourism, and rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Through research, advocacy, and capacity building, we aim to preserve biodiversity and support the future of our natural ecosystems.

IUCN should publish the names of the plant species which provide the most favourite food to each of the listed animal species. This information will help development of rating and ranking of plant species of the world, on the basis of their capacity to provide food to the maximum number of animal biodiversity. This rating will help common people to develop food forest for conservation their own native wildlife biodiversity.

Today is World Endangered Species Day and a day to raise awareness about wildlife conservation, our beloved koalas and work and also celebrate the wins. In our recent blog we talk about the human contradictions of loving our planet, people and animals and destroying it at the same time. There is 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 however, you're here reading this and most Australian's (𝟗𝟕%) want more action to protect nature, most people do care what happens to our beautiful animals and that's what we have to work with - the hope. What positive things have happened since koalas were officially listed as endangered in 2022? The NSW Koala Strategy, The rollout of the Koala Chlamydia Vaccine and an End to Forest Logging in Victoria - they're small wins but we will take them and work with them and keep on working until we have saved the species! What can you do? Please support our work in any way you can - we urgently require financial support to continue to provide lifesaving treatment, research and advocacy for koalas. #EndangeredSpeciesDay #koalaconservation https://ow.ly/knPQ50RC3SY

Conservation International should publish a rating and ranking of the mangrove plant species of the world, on the basis of their capacity to provide various ecosystem services and on the basis of their capacity to provide food to the animal biodiversity, throughout the year. Because, all mangrove plant species are not equals and the most important species are the most vulnerable to extinction.
