#grrf Special Day Update 4 December- World Wildlife Conservation Day World Wildlife Conservation Day is observed on December 4th each year. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting and conserving the world's wildlife and their habitats. The aim is to emphasize the need for global action to address the various threats that wildlife faces, including habitat loss, climate change, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Billions of people, in developed and developing nations, benefit daily from the use of wild species for food, energy, materials, medicine, recreation, inspiration and many other vital contributions to human well-being. The accelerating global biodiversity crisis, with a million species of plants and animals facing extinction, threatens these contributions to people. World Wildlife Day (WWD) is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people. At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts. Happy World Wildlife Conservation Day (WWD) ! #grrf #wildlife #conservation #people #ecology #science #resources #habitat #environment #linkedin

🦌 From the Brink of Extinction: The Remarkable Comeback of the Saiga Antelope 🔙 The Golden Steppe covers 41% of northern Kazakhstan and while it may appear vast and empty at first glance, a closer look reveals a landscape teeming with life. Roaming these plains is the Saiga Antelope, a species that was nearly lost, with only 20,000 remaining in 2013. Today, through the ambitious work of the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, their numbers have soared to over 2.8 million! How was this incredible recovery achieved? 🌍 Expansive Protected Zones: 5 million hectares of steppe secured for Saiga and other wildlife, creating one of the world’s largest conservation zones. 🤝 Powerful Partnerships: Kazakhstan’s government joined forces with international conservation groups, combining local insight with global expertise. 📡 Migration Tracking: Satellite collars help monitor saiga migration, allowing the team to identify key routes and expand protected areas. 🛡️ Anti-Poaching Patrols: Enhanced ranger patrols and stronger wildlife laws keep the Saiga safe from poaching. 🌱 Inspiring Future Generations: By involving local communities and educating young people, the project nurtures a deep-rooted culture of conservation. It’s no wonder they've just won the ‘Protect & Restore Nature’ category at The Earthshot Prize! 🙌 And that’s just the beginning as they’re now expanding protected zones, boosting ranger teams, enhancing tracking technology and reintroducing wild horses to the steppe. This is the kind of bold, ambitious, large-scale wildlife conservation we urgently need around the world to really move the dial! 🌏 (Credit: The Earthshot Prize) #Conservation #Wildlife #Biodiversity

🌿 Wildlife Conservation Day: Celebrating forests for their wildlife, nature and biodiversity 🌿 🦥 Forests are not only critical carbon sinks but also vibrant habitats that sustain #biodiversity and safeguard #wildlife populations. Home to around 80% of terrestrial species, their conservation is essential for wildlife protection. 🌍 The LEAF Coalition works to protect #TropicalForests on a global scale, channelling #ClimateFinance at the speed and scale needed to support forest governments working to reduce #TropicalDeforestation, conserve their wildlife and protect their biodiversity. 🌴 This #WildlifeConservationDay, we celebrate the incredible biodiversity of our forests and underscore the urgent need to protect these critical ecosystems. 📖 Read our nature brochure to learn more about how the LEAF Coalition is working to protect nature, biodiversity and wildlife through tropical forest protection: https://lnkd.in/dTP7zW7r #WildlifeConservationDay #LEAFCoalition #ForestProtection #ClimateAction

Today, the story of tiger conservation in many parts of Asia is one of hope, resilience, and collaboration. It is a narrative that underscores the challenges faced by these majestic creatures, but also highlights the remarkable successes achieved through concerted efforts of tiger range countries and partnerships. The journey ahead may be long, but with the continued support of the global community, the aspiration for a future filled with the roar of tigers in the wild is within reach. The conservation of tigers is not just about saving a species; it’s about preserving the biodiversity of our planet and ensuring a healthier, more balanced world for future generations. UNDP is a proud member of the Tiger Conservation Coalition 🐯 This partnership brings together leading biologists and experts in wildlife crime, human-wildlife coexistence, policy, finance, development and communications, with unprecedented alignment on achieving tiger conservation at scale.

🏆 Success Story: The Revival of the Humpback Whale 🐋 Humpback whales were once hunted to near extinction, but international conservation efforts have significantly increased their numbers. The 1986 International Whaling Commission moratorium and the establishment of marine protected areas have been crucial in their recovery. This success story shows the power of coordinated global efforts in wildlife conservation. 🌍🐳 Population Increase: Since the moratorium, the population of humpback whales has rebounded from a few thousand to over 80,000 worldwide (IWC). Marine Protected Areas: The creation of marine protected areas, like the Hawaiian Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, has provided safe habitats for breeding and feeding (NOAA). Community Involvement: Local communities have been involved in conservation efforts, such as whale watching tourism, which supports both conservation and local economies (WWF). #ClimateChange #WildlifeConservation #Sustainability #SaveOurPlanet #Biodiversity #EnvironmentalAwareness #GlobalWarming #ProtectNature #ConservationEfforts #SustainableFuture 🌍 The Future Founders Co.
