How long do we have before the camera traps find nothing? Around the world, biodiversity is under serious threat. Climate catastrophe, habitat destruction, unsustainable practices and more are bringing species to the point of collapse. Now's the time to act. 📽️ © Fauna & Flora

Captured on camera trap: a group of wild boar crossing through the forest in Cambodia. Did you know? Wild pigs can raise litters of up to 12 piglets - their foraging helps keep forests healthy by aerating soil and dispersing seeds 🌱🐗

Armoured anteaters, rolled up razor blades, or real-life Pokémon. Whatever you call them, pangolins are precious. These extraordinary creatures play a vital role in their ecosystem, but sadly, their numbers are shrinking.

“It doesn’t come in an envelope or hit your bank account immediately. But I guarantee you’re paying for it in some form.” Nature loss drives up costs. Protecting it isn’t just about wildlife; it’s a smart economic choice. Read our CEO, Kristian Teleki's full article: www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

Is there a hidden tax to nature’s destruction?
Nature and biodiversity often lose to economic growth projects but besides planetary consequences, destruction could cost individuals and society more.

For centuries, wolves have been cast as the villain. In truth, the delicate balance of entire ecosystems relies upon their presence. That's pretty heroic in our books! 🐺 📖 Find out if you share the grey wolf's main character energy: www.fauna-flora.org/extraordinar...

Once lost to the ocean, plastic pellets are almost impossible to contain. Sea creatures often mistake them for food, filling their stomachs and leading to starvation. This tragic impact highlights how vulnerable marine life is to even the smallest pollutants. 2/4
