Honey bees, nature's hardest workers, can tell us a lot about the health of our planet 🐝 🌏 🦗 When we see more invasive bugs and diseases in insects like honey bees, it's a sign our environment is struggling. 👩💻 But by using technology to monitor honey bee populations, we can detect early warning signs of environmental decline and take swift action to safeguard biodiversity. 👉 Want to learn more about how bees and technology can help you protect nature?

So many #Species #Endangered, many due to #poaching, many due to #humans #environmental degrading effects, we must do better to #conserve and #preserve many of this species before they become #history in #pictures.

🐳😭🌍 did you know it's so ALARMING ?! Scientists estimate there are around 8.7 million species living on Earth today! 🌎 From the tiniest insects to the largest mammals, the diversity of life is astounding! But there's a pressing issue we need to address: Every year, we lose an alarming number of species forever. 🕰️🚫 Studies reveal that approximately 10,000 species go extinct each year! 😔 I find that's a staggering number when we really think about it. Research shows the rate of extinction is accelerating. 📊 According to a study published in the journal "Science", the current rate of species extinction is 100 to 1,000 times higher than the natural background rate! 😲 This means we're losing species much faster than in the past. Why is this happening? 🧐 Several factors contribute, including habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation. 🌪️🚜💧 These human-driven changes are pushing many species to the limits.. We must act now to protect our incredible Animal Kingdom. 🌱🦋 By conserving habitats, reducing pollution, and promoting sustainable practices, we can help preserve the rich diversity of life on Earth. Together, we can make a difference! 🌏💪 What do you think ?🌞 #Biodiversity #Conservation #Sustainability #WildlifeProtection #SaveOurSpecies 🐅🐢🐬

There are so many reasons why protecting nature and the climate is morally and ethically the right thing to do, and one of those is the preservation of all animal life, including but not exclusively sustaining ours

🌱 Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! Soil is a vast reservoir of biodiversity, capable of hosting hundreds of diverse living organisms. Just one tablespoon of soil contains more living organisms than there are people on Earth! Here are 4 key functions of soil biodiversity to keep our planet in balance: 🔄Nutrient Cycling: Soil organisms break down organic matter, releasing nutrients for plants to grow. 🦗Pest Control: Beneficial microbes and organisms help control pests and diseases naturally, reducing the need for pesticides. 🪨Soil Formation: Biodiversity contributes to soil structure, preventing erosion and improving water retention. 🌡️ Climate Regulation: Soil organisms play a role in carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change. Protecting soil biodiversity is crucial for sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health! 🌍 UN Biodiversity   #SoilHealth #BENCHMARKS #Biodiversity  #BiodiversityDay #PartOfThePlan #ForNature

Happy #BiodiversityDay: Today, on International Day for Biological Diversity, enjoy and appreciate this video showcasing the diversity of colors, sizes, and shapes of 25 different kinds of apples and their wild relatives. Both in-situ and ex-situ conservation of #Biodiversity are crucial for a sustainable future. Diversity of many species is threatened in their native habitats by climate change, urbanization, deforestation, genetic erosion, wildfires, and new pests/diseases.

Human health is intricately connected to the services provided by our natural ecosystems—clean water, air, shelter, food, and fuel for heating. A 2019 report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reveals alarming trends in biodiversity loss, with approximately one million species of plants and animals now threatened with extinction. As the Chair of IPBES stated, “The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever.” This decline in biodiversity poses significant health risks. Our food systems, for example, rely on stable ecosystems, with 75% of food crops depending on animal pollination. Additionally, many of our pharmaceuticals derive from natural materials—over 70% of cancer drugs are either natural products or synthesized to mimic them. The loss of biodiversity threatens our access to these vital medical resources. We must take action to protect our natural world, ensuring a healthier future for ourselves and generations to come. #Biodiversity #PublicHealth #EcosystemServices #Greenmined

We’re excited to kick-off the fifth edition of our 𝗩𝗣 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 today! This year, our event focuses on a theme that is not only vital for the planet but also a cornerstone of our impact-first approach: 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆🌍🐝 Why biodiversity? Since 1970, populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have plummeted by a staggering 69%, according to the WWF Living Planet Report 2022. This alarming decline is driven by habitat loss, climate change, pollution and overexploitation. Biodiversity is essential for our food supply, water purification and climate regulation, making it invaluable for both humanity and the economy.   That’s why we’re dedicating today to delving into this crucial topic together and exploring how businesses can play a pivotal role in protecting and enhancing biodiversity. We’re looking forward to being inspired at the Phood Farm and PHOOD Kitchen by several leading speakers in the field who will share their vision of an economy that exists in harmony with nature.   We look forward to sharing more about the day’s highlights with you soon. Stay tuned! #sustainabilityday #biodiversity #ecology #vpcapital #drivenbyimpact

🌱 Biodiversity starts in the soil 🌱 When discussing biodiversity, we often consider the visible - trees, plants, and animals. But what if we looked a little deeper into the foundation of life itself? Healthy, biodiverse soils are the bedrock of resilient ecosystems, supporting everything from plants and insects to larger animals and humans. At Generation Soil CIC, we’re passionate about a “soil-up” approach to biodiversity. Here’s why it matters: 🌿 Soil Microbes & Nutrient Cycling: Healthy soils are alive, teeming with microbes that cycle nutrients, breaking down organic material to create fertile ground for plants to thrive. 🌱 Erosion & Climate Change: Biodiverse soils have better structure, preventing erosion and capturing atmospheric carbon. Healthy soils act as a crucial buffer against climate change. 🌾 Food Security: Fertile, biologically active soils support more resilient crops, reducing dependency on chemical inputs and creating healthier food systems. 🐛 Life Web from Below: From earthworms to fungi, a vast network of organisms calls the soil home. Protecting this habitat ensures life above ground flourishes, too. By addressing biodiversity from the soil up, we’re fostering ecosystems that support agriculture, combat climate change, and sustain communities. Let’s dig deep and grow the future from the ground up! 🌎 #SoilHealth #Biodiversity #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilRegeneration #GenerationSoilCIC #EcosystemRestoration
