Winter poses unique challenges for wildlife, and climate change is making it even tougher. Scientists at TNC have spent 10 years identifying climate-resilient landscapes across the U.S. to help animals adapt. From camouflage issues to hibernation disruptions, climate change is impacting winter wildlife in surprising ways.

The Biden Administration released a new carbon emissions target for the United States: 61-66% below 2005 levels by 2035. Nature Conservancy CEO Jennifer Morris responds: "It is critical for the U.S. to signal its ambition to other countries in a year when they are all being called up to renew their 5-year climate pledges." "No matter how political winds blow and parties change, The Nature Conservancy will work with policymakers, industry partners, peer organizations and our members to protect nature and people. This includes our efforts to support the Paris Agreement and the goal of achieving a net-zero future." Read our full statement: https://nature.ly/3BGegtD

The U.S. Congress has passed the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act! 👏 Here’s why this is a big deal. It will invest up to $100 million in public funding a year to accelerate conservation efforts in some of the most wildlife-rich, yet vulnerable, parts of the world. The funding will go to Indigenous Peoples and local communities to help them better manage their conserved and protected areas. This will protect nature, as well as boost U.S. national security and promote regional stability worldwide. See how this is a big win for people and the planet! https://nature.ly/40ayqWl

One of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, the Ecuadorian Amazon plays a critical role in maintaining the world’s climate, provides valuable freshwater benefits and supports an astounding number of plants, animals and people. Today, the Republic of Ecuador, with the support of The Nature Conservancy’s Nature Bonds Program, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank and Bank of America announced a debt conversion that is expected to unlock approximately $460 million over the next 17 years for the conservation of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. The first of its kind in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this debt conversion will advance the Amazon Biocorridor Program, a management model for effectively conserving the region. With the conservation funding unlocked by the deal, the Amazon Biocorridor Program aims to: ✅ Improve the management of 4.6 million hectares of existing protected areas ✅ Protect an additional 1.8 million hectares of life-giving, climate-mitigating forests and wetlands and 18,000 kilometers of rivers ✅ Bolster climate resilience ✅ Support human well-being Through a co-designing process with Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities, the program ensures that local knowledge and scientific evidence guide the strategies to enhance ecological connectivity and resilience, and it promotes social and environmental safeguards that respect cultural diversity and support the well-being of local communities.

How do we value a standing forest? 🌳 Brazil, the country with the greatest potential to mitigate carbon through natural climate solutions and home to 60% of the Amazon Rainforest, is leading initiatives with a new economic model that transforms agricultural practices, recognizes traditional cultures, and helps achieve climate and biodiversity goals while providing jobs and fair compensation. This short documentary was produced by Nature4Climate and If Not Us Then Who?, part of the Nature in Action series. It was created in collaboration with the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) and the National Indigenous People Foundation (FUNAI). It also received support from The Nature Conservancy Brazil, the Iepé Institute, the Council of Indigenous Leaders of Oiapoque, and the Association of Indigenous Women in Mutirão.
