🌿 Who benefits when SDGs are achieved? Our findings show that local people are often recognised as beneficiaries of biodiversity, but ecosystems, species, and nature itself are less often seen this way. Transformative change asks us to rethink that. 📄 f.mtr.cool/g1yxz8mqik

🌿 Wetland restoration is about more than bringing water back. It also asks how we make better decisions for nature, climate & communities. @wethorizons.eu final video shows how degraded wetlands across Europe can become living ecosystems again. 🎬 Watch:

📊 The SDGs are relevant to biodiversity work, but not always part of local conversations. Our findings show that global goals need translation into practical, relatable tools for communities working on biodiversity. Listen locally, connect globally. 📄 f.mtr.cool/qoviahvmxh

🌍 How do the #SDGs unfold in real biodiversity contexts? Across BIOTraCes’ 9 case studies, the goals take on different meanings depending on local realities — from rivers and grasslands to cities and food systems. Global goals need local grounding. 🌿 📄 More: f.mtr.cool/ycxrutairp

Different knowledge communities offer credible methodologies that can be applied across diverse business contexts, each contributing distinct approaches for addressing impacts and dependencies. As Prof. Rueda, Co-Chair of IPBES #BizBiodiversity Assessment, notes, they are all valuable.

“Living as nature” is what we explored at the Cooplink Day with Koen de Kruif (GEN-NL), Ad Vlems (Ecodorp Boekel) & Zoë van Eldik (BIOTraCes). From ecovillages as nature areas to a new idea: the zooperation — where humans & more-than-humans share power. 📸 Koen & Ad getting into character!
