For nearly three years now, 🇺🇦 Ukraine`s protected areas are dealing with a new reality. Together with many partners, we have been providing emergency aid in Ukraine since the beginning of the war. The challenges have changed, but the situation in the country remains critical. Thousands of people have sought refuge in the Carpathians after fleeing from devastated parts of Ukraine. National parks and communities have taken in these people. In total, we provided support in the Carpathian region with more than 93 tonnes of urgently needed goods. Protected areas in other parts of Ukraine also offered people in need shelter in their buildings. The FZS delivered a further ten tonnes of urgently needed emergency aid to these areas. In the Carpathians we renovated and equipped buildings and ensured that the people's most basic needs were met as quickly as possible. The number of internally displaced persons stabilized now. The situation remains difficult though, we now continue to support protected areas in the Carpathians with their most basic needs such as fuel, we repair the cars of the parks or replace broken heatings. Our motivation remains to protect the Carpathian Mountains with their vast, unspoilt forest landscapes as well as the Polesian floodplain in the north of the country for people and nature and to preserve their unique beauty.

#MeetMonday: I’m Waiyapney, and I’m making conservation count. I was born in Guyana, a small South American country, that's a melting pot for cultural heritage. As the Field Logistics Officer for FZS Guyana, I work with the Kanuku Mountains Protected Area (KMPA). My conservation journey began in 2005 when I had the opportunity to live near the Iwokrama forest and collaborate closely with the organization managing that protected area. Witnessing their commitment to engaging local communities and ensuring they benefited from conservation efforts profoundly shaped my perspective on conservation. Since then, it has become my passion because I’ve come to understand that educating others about environmental sustainability is key to successfully managing conservation areas. Working with FZS further motivates me to know that I can play a role in connecting people with nature and fostering a deeper appreciation for the need to protect it. I believe that our planet's beauty and biodiversity are invaluable and must be preserved for future generations. The KMPA is my favourite, because of its uniqueness and the way the mountains beckon you to explore its untouched landscapes. My super talent is my ability to be flexible and adaptable, qualities that have helped me navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with conservation work.

🇩🇪 Bis zum Jahr 2020 sollte Deutschland auf 2 Prozent seiner Landfläche große Wildnisgebiete ausweisen – ein Kernziel der Nationalen Strategie zur biologischen Vielfalt. Aktuell sind es nur 0,62 Prozent. Die von Naturschutzorganisationen erstellte Studie zeigt aber auch, dass es genügend Möglichkeiten gäbe, das 2-Prozent-Ziel in den nächsten Jahren zu erreichen.

In the lush landscape of Delima Village, #Indonesia 🇮🇩, a dedicated group of women are changing lives through coffee farming. Led by Kustinah, Elita, Wulanjati, and Legini, these women shifted from oil palm dependence to cultivating coffee, thanks to an agroforestry initiative launched by FZS in Sumatra. Coffee, grown under the shade of diverse trees, offers a sustainable income while supporting soil health and the wildlife of the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem. Since 2022, the women’s group ‘Wanita Sejahtera Mandiri’ has managed every stage of coffee production—from harvesting ripe cherries to processing and selling high-quality beans. With over 3,000 coffee plants thriving, the group now harvests 200 kilograms of beans monthly, fueling both economic growth and ecological balance. Beyond coffee, these women also cultivate vegetables for their households and participate in microfinance training, empowering them further in their journey. The coffee they produce represents more than just income; it’s a testament to resilience, adaptation, and hope for Delima’s future—a balance between community well-being and environmental stewardship.

Knowing what is happening in the field is key to making informed decisions. One of the best tools to collect and analyze data in conservation projects is SMART. The tool helps to capture time-coded gps-markers with additional information. It also provides a strong set of analysis tools to help standardize and streamline data collection, analysis and reporting. This week we were very happy to accommodate representatives of the partner organizations for the SMART Steering Committee at our Frankfurt Headquarters. Tune in to the quick recap provided by Elsabe van der Westhuizen. She is not only a dedicated SMART advocate, but also the FZS project lead for the Marromeu National Reserve in Mozambique. More on SMART: https://lnkd.in/gwjFgaTv SMART is being developed by a conservation coalition, including WWF Wildlife Conservation Society Wildlife Protection Solutions Zoological Society of London (ZSL) North Carolina Zoo PANTHERA REWIL and us.
