☃️While the rest of the world was watching the inauguration last Monday, I took a #snowday off with another @reservaylt.bsky.social board member and actually managed to just have fun out in #nature. Here's your reminder to step outside with friends if you get stuck in a news spiral. ♥️

Today sees the launch of the IPBES #NexusAssessment, a landmark global assessment of the interlinked crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, health, food and water. But what does it mean? Read on to hear from @carolinehowe.bsky.social (our new Vice President) & @sebdunnett.bsky.social 🌍🧪

We are in a crisis and we need to act urgently. The IPBES Nexus Assessment is an assessment provides a blueprint for how we can identify shared problems and shared values to achieve just and sustainable futures for people and nature.

An airstrip was already built to bring in luxury jets. The development will impact sea turtles and #gianttortoises on Assomption, but most critically, it will threaten ecological integrity of #Aldabra, likely the most pristine island left on 🌍 with no ability to enforce biosafety precautions. 3/4

Having an @ipbes.bsky.social Plenary session in Namibia is a pretty big deal! Assessments will be stronger if more science emerges from Africa, particularly with more African scientists leading the research. Anyone who has attended COPs/Plenaries knows location is more than symbolic.

@projectdrawdown.bsky.social @globalecoguy.bsky.social would love to see a new synthesized list of solutions to both biodiversity and climate crises, w/ co-benefits taken into account of climate solutions taken into account for combatting #biodiversityloss. 🦜🐠🦐🐢 Possible?

Reserva: The Youth Land Trust @reservaylt.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

When @ipbes.bsky.social listed climate change as one of the top five drivers of biodiversity loss, this is why. These are intertwined crises, and we *have* to solve them both.

Reserva: The Youth Land Trust @reservaylt.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

We all have that one friend who finds out about THE climate solution. Regen grazing, planting trees, going vegan, nuclear energy... there is no ONE solution, but there are priorities. @projectdrawdown.bsky.social is great for understanding how we should prioritize the MANY solutions we need to use.
