#GiveADuck for healthy wetlands this #GivingTuesday. 💚🦆 Wetlands aren't just beautiful—they are one of the most valuable ecosystems on earth. They protect us from flooding, drought and climate change. They protect wildlife by providing hundreds of species with safe places to eat, sleep and raise young. They give us natural places to play, learn and explore. They also clean the water we enjoy at beaches, lakes and rivers. But in developed areas of Canada, up to 70% of our wetlands have been destroyed or degraded. As they continue to disappear, so too do the many benefits they provide. We need your support to conserve and restore our wetlands! For a donation of just $20, you can help provide one duck with the habitat it needs to thrive. Donate now: https://loom.ly/BjNQAKI Together, we can conserve and restore some of the most valuable and threatened landscapes on the planet. 🌎 #WetlandConservation #HabitatRestoration #Biodiversity #Nature

Looking out at all the Rain? You’d think our rivers and the species that call them home, would welcome the downpour. If the River Derwent was a healthy, nature-rich river catchment it would, but in its current state, the heavy rain we are having right now, will be flashing down bare uplands, bringing soil and polluted run-off straight into the waters. Species will suffer, and so will we, with the potential for floods and sewage ‘overflow’. So if you want future rain to be welcomed by our rivers, and be less of a threat to us, donate now to our Derwent Survival Plan. https://lnkd.in/ehfk8sTe

There’s just 24 HOURS LEFT of our Big Give campaign – help us meet our goal of £200,000!   For just 24 hours, all donations made to Rainforest Foundation UK via our Big Give page will be DOUBLED at no extra cost to you! This means you have the chance to DOUBLE your impact upon the Amazon Rainforest and its Indigenous guardians!   Our campaign couldn’t have come at a more pressing time. Destructive logging and mining industries threaten to tear apart the climate-critical rainforests of the Peruvian Amazon. Meanwhile, Indigenous communities such as the Asháninka suffer due to high levels of poverty, marginalisation and are vulnerable to natural disasters such as flooding. Just this year, unprecedented flooding destroyed homes, crops and displaced hundreds of Asháninka communities.   Rainforest Foundation UK’s ForestLink technology empowers Asháninka communities to challenge destructive industries by reporting illegal deforestation on their lands. We also work with inspirational Indigenous cooperative Kemito Ene to aid communities in building forest-friendly livelihoods which enable them to escape poverty, in addition to helping families impacted by recent devastating floods to recover. Despite this, threats of deforestation remain; risking the ability of the Peruvian Amazon to combat the climate crisis and prevent future natural disasters, which in turn risks the safety of countless Indigenous communities.   We need your help to fight for the Amazon. Until MIDDAY TOMORROW, all donations made to RFUK will be instantly DOUBLED by our generous match funders at no extra cost to you. DONATE NOW to give DOUBLE for the Amazon Rainforest and its Indigenous communities! https://lnkd.in/ejhkDdFg #biggivegreenmatchfund #greenmatchfund #fundraising #rainforestprotection #climateaction #indigenouspeople

Support a WILDER future for rivers in Radnorshire. We know that protecting wildlife within our nature reserves isn’t enough. We must also safeguard the lifeblood of these habitats: the rivers that connect us all. 🌿💧We envision a wilder future for our rivers, by taking a catchment approach, where every part of the river system—from the Lugg to the Marteg and Ithon—supports the long term health of our cherished #RiverWye. A future where riparian corridors are climate-resilient, and upland ecosystems and farmlands coexist with our rivers. Can you help us to realise this future and put nature into recovery?

Less than 48 hours to go in our #ChristmasChallenge! 🤞 Today, let’s take a closer look at why the rainforests of North Sumatra are so vital. 🐯 Sumatra's rainforests are a treasure trove of biodiversity! From majestic orangutans to elusive tigers, these forests are home to some of the most amazing creatures on the planet (many of which are found nowhere else). 🏘️ North Sumatra’s rainforests are also vital to the many millions of people who live here - they act as watersheds, absorbing huge amounts of rainfall, reducing the risks of floods, landslides, and soil erosion. 🌍The rainforests are also critical carbon sinks helping to combat the effects of climate change. These are just a few things that make Sumatra’s rainforests so special. We are so grateful to everyone who has donated so far. Please help us reach our target! 💚 Please donate now! ➡️ https://ow.ly/pWwC50UgxB1

Devastating Floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: A Call for Solidarity and Support It's with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news about the catastrophic floods currently ravaging Rio Grande do Sul, the state where I was born and where ISCA's Latam Headquarters is located. This disaster has taken the lives of almost 150 people and forced nearly 620,000 from their homes, marking the highest displacement number for a single tragedy on record for Brazil. Last week's hopes for relief with lowering river levels were dashed by new rains over the weekend, exacerbating the devastation and bringing further losses to the region. Entire cities are submerged, lives have been lost, and our agriculture, the lifeblood of our economy, is in ruins. In these trying times, our thoughts and prayers are with all affected. As we witness the resilience and courage of our community, let's come together to support those in need. Every bit of help counts, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness. Please join us in standing with Rio Grande do Sul during this critical time. It is great to see the entire country of Brazil mobilizing and coming together to help, volunteer, and donate. You too: There are numerous reliable organizations out there, please donate. Together, we can make a difference. #RioGrandeDoSul #FloodRelief #Solidarity #Support

As a Brazilian, I am deeply saddened by the condition of my brothers and sisters in Rio Grande do Sul, who are facing devastating flooding due to heavy rains.😭 This is not just a local issue, but a global warming crisis that demands urgent attention. Unfortunately, it has also exposed the lack of investment in basic sanitation and infrastructure by politicians. However, let's not dwell on personal opinions right now. This post is about the people who are suffering. At least 80 lives have been lost, and over 115,000 individuals have been displaced. The situation is dreadful, with nearly two-thirds of the state's cities affected, including Porto Alegre, where the flooding has surpassed historic levels. In times like these, it's crucial to come together and support those in need. If you'd like to contribute, donations can be made via the links below: GBP Donations: https://lnkd.in/edyH9u-e EUR Donations: https://lnkd.in/ebkRQnR7 I am confident that the Gauchos, a resilient and proud people will overcome this adversity as they're not alone. Until then, keep them in your thoughts and prayers - any help is welcomed.💔🙏 #RioGrandeDoSul #Flooding #DonateandSupport #NotAlone #Brazil

Flash floods devastated the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai, a place I visited with my daughter just 10 months ago. Two elephants tragically lost their lives, and around 100 others had to be evacuated, along with tourists. My heart breaks for the people and animals affected by this tragedy. This sanctuary holds such a special place in my heart, and seeing this news is a reminder of how fragile life can be. A sanctuary is a safe haven, a place where animals—like elephants—are rescued and given a second chance at life. These elephants are often saved from brutal conditions, such as forced labor, illegal logging, or the tourism industry, where they are made to carry heavy loads or perform unnatural tricks. Many of them come from a life of chains, pain, and neglect. In sanctuaries, they find freedom from their trauma. They're provided with proper care, space to roam, and the opportunity to heal physically and emotionally. Sanctuaries are a symbol of hope, showing that animals can be saved from exploitation and treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. Please keep them in your thoughts and consider supporting rescue efforts if you can. We need your help to protect the 5,000+ animals living in sanctuary. Please donate now to help support ENP’s rescue and repair efforts! ALL DONATIONS WILL BE MATCHED UP TO $100,000! https://bit.ly/408qzZN 🫶🏼 #Thailand #ChiangMai #ClimateChange
