Regenerative agriculture combats climate change and restores the soil, biodiversity, and water systems our food system depends on – all while centering the farmers who steward that change. Explore how Rare is helping shape regenerative agriculture into a new social norm. 👉https://bit.ly/4mrLm2n

A quote card from the Vice President of Rare Colombia, Monica Varela, which says, "Regenerative agriculture holds global potential, not only to restore degraded lands and capture carbon, but to transform food systems, empower rural communities, and build resilience in the face of climate change."

DYK 40% of the global fish catch is by small-scale fishers - fishers like Ta Alo in North Buton, Indonesia. And virtually all of it goes to feeding people. Healthy fisheries = healthy communities. Read stories of how our people-centered solutions boost food security. bit.ly/4kJIYTa #RareFood

#Coastal500 leaders urge the international community to invest in local efforts to protect and restore #mangrove forests. Get the full story from @globalmangroves.bsky.social here: bit.ly/4jVUxad

A quote from Coastal 500 member Mayor Hamilton Brito of Curuçá, Pará, Brazil says "Brazil has the largest continuous belt of mangroves in the world — and they sustain our lives, our economy and our culture. We increasingly need partnerships and alternative financing to protect the mangroves and ensure the future of our communities.”

A quote from Coastal 500 member Mayor Alfredo Coro II of Del Carmen, Philippines says: "When super typhoon Odette and the pandemic struck our municipality in 2021, our efforts for a decade of rehabilitating and preserving our mangrove ecosystems allowed us to prepare for a four-hour super storm, provided a stable food source, and the inspiration to be resilient.”

A quote from Coastal 500 Member Mayor Juan Ramon Manaiza says "Coastal 500 brings local leaders together to learn from and inspire one another. What we’ve learned from leaders in the Philippines triggered a movement for coastal protection in Honduras...This network has demonstrated the impact of collective action in safeguarding our future.”

Santa Rosa de Aguán is the nation's fourth marine protected area co-managed by local communities. Small-scale fishers will have exclusive access to their coastal waters, 0-12 nm from shore. It completes a network of protected areas and is a milestone achievement for community co-management!

A photo of a woman walking on the beach has these words overlaid in a blue box: "Managed access areas safeguard the natural wealth that coastal communities depend on — securing their food, livelihoods, and future.”
Diana Vasquez

A photo of a man outside with tropical trees behind him has the following words overlaid in a blue box: "[Santa Rosa de Aguán] is more than a milestone — it’s a testament to the power of local leadership. When communities lead, conservation becomes real, sustainable, and rooted in pride. This is how we build lasting change.”
