🌿 Big news from the Philippines: Conservation International is launching a five-year, $36.8 million partnership with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to protect biodiversity and restore natural carbon sinks in climate-vulnerable regions. Working with local governments, Indigenous Peoples, and community orgs, this multistakeholder effort will boost resilience, inform national policy, and advance the Philippines' climate and biodiversity goals. This work is part of the broader TRANSCEND initiative - a whole-of-society push for a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.

🌍 What is biodiversity, and why does it matter? Biodiversity is the variety of life that keeps our planet thriving — from clean air and water to food and climate stability. Without it, humanity is at risk. There is hope — but we must act now. Protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030 is critical. Nature can recover if we give it the chance. 🌿🐋 #BiodiversityDay (fb)
