#Regram #RG @undp: Climate change is being felt in this heart of the Amazon in Peru, bordering Brazil. In this remote stretch of river and deep jungle, the temperaturecan drop to 16°C. The chill is a surprise for visitors expecting tropical heat. For the local people, these changes are worrying and more frequent these days. It's not just the mercury dropping. Food and wildlife are disappearing. To save what remains of nature, 24 indigenous communities teamed up and proposed a conservation area in Peru. Today, they live next to a national park, an indigenous reserve and this latest conservation concession, Yurúa Breu. By protecting the #LungsofEarth, they will also protect some of the world's last isolated people deep in the rainforests between Peru and Brazil. ??Tap the link in our bio for a photo story about how we are supporting their conservation efforts. : Mónica Suárez Galindo/ @pnud_peru #unitednations #undp #environment #sustainable #climate #climateaction #globalgoals #southamerica #peru #brazil #indigenous #amazon #rainforest #Ucayali #Yurúa #Asheninka #rainforestdefenders

#Regram #RG @nature_org: A tower of reticulated giraffe in Loisaba Wildlife conservancy in Northern Kenya. Since the 1990s, reticulated giraffe populations have decreased by 70%. Once almost taken for granted as an abundant animal, now giraffes may be slipping away without public notice. In December 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature moved giraffes two categories down the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species from "Least Concern" to "Vulnerable." To address this, scientists are researching giraffes on two large areas of protected land, Loisaba Conservancy, which TNC helped protect and establish for the Loisaba Community Trust, and Namunyak Community Conservancy, one of 27 conservancies supported by TNC partner Northern Rangelands Trust. In 2017, the partners also affixed solar-powered satellite GPS tracking devices to 11 giraffes to understand their movements. Unfortunately, two of those animals were poached, but the remaining giraffes’ movements will provide valuable data that will help TNC and others develop informed conservation strategies. – Photo by @amivitale #giraffes #africa #conservation #kenya #reticulatedgiraffe #wildlife

#Regram #RG @sealegacy: Photograph by @PaulNicklen // Overfishing, climate change, pollution, and acidification have pushed our oceans to the brink of collapse. But we have the collective ability to make 2019 the most successful year for our oceans yet! For the next 19 days, we are sharing 19 things you can do to save our oceans. Tip #1 is to advocate for fossil-free, renewable energy. Seek out and invest in wind and solar energy options to end our dependency on oil, gas and coal.

#Regram #RG @everydayclimatechange: Photo by @mettelampcov A winter snow storm is approaching the Sierra Nevada mountains near Mammoth mountain. According to a new study from Scripps Institution of Oceanography: winter will still be coming to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, but winters will be becoming shorter, and disappearing earlier in the year, which could have implications for state water management and wildfire activity. This is particularly important for California, the most agriculturally-diverse state in the country and which experienced the worst wildfires on record in 2017 and 2018. #climatechange #sierranevada #mountains #snow #landscapephotography #california #water #snowstorm #watertodustphotoproject

#Regram #RG @amazonfrontlines: Protecting the Amazon is much more than saving trees and fighting off extractive industries. If the forest is still standing today, it's largely thanks to indigenous peoples' vast encyclopedic knowledge of the forest, transmitted from generation to generation across millennia. Today, pressures from colonization and industrialization are pushing Amazonian cultures and knowledge to the brink of disappearance. But elders and youth from communities in the Western Amazon are fighting back, and working to recover, document and preserve their traditional knowledge, such as ancient medicinal plant knowledge. ??

#Regram #RG @nrdc_org: Entomologists around the world have identified signs of an arthropocalypse, a precipitous decline in the population of beneficial insects like butterflies and bees. The most worrisome part is that there appears to be no single cause. Everything from habitat loss to agricultural practices to climate change contributes to the decline. We need to find a way to get back to symbiosis with the natural world. We can start with these insects. Take action via the link in our profile!

#Regram #RG @oceana: The federal government has authorized companies to harm marine mammals like #dolphins and #whales with seismic airgun blasting activities in the Atlantic Ocean. These dangerous and extremely loud surveys are used by private companies to identify potential oil and gas deposits deep below the seafloor. Moreover, exploratory drilling like BP Deepwater Horizon, which exploded in the Gulf eight years ago and caused the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, would be the next step they take to confirm the presence of subsea oil and gas.

#Regram #RG @unenvironment: #Didyouknow : Some of the best protected forests are those occupied by indigenous peoples! People who have lived in forests for generations recognize the high value of the ecosystem on which they depend for food , shelter, and water . Studies have also found that tree cover is better maintained in areas where communities have legal rights to forest lands #forests #nature

#Regram #RG @greenmatters: Milan is the latest city to embrace “going green” in a major way. According to the ‘Associated Press,’ the Italian city revealed plans to plant 3 million trees by the year 2030. Some of their plans to make the metropolis more green include turning a no-longer-operating freight railway network into a series of park, planting trees in more than 2,000 schoolyards, and introducing greenery to 10 million square meters of flat rooftop. If successful, the plans could prove to have major benefits to the city and its citizens: Milan official estimate that increasing the number of trees by 30 percent will absorb an additional 5 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, and could potentially reduce temperatures in the city by 2 degrees Celsius.

#Regram #RG @cnn: This Swedish teenager stood up to a crowd of global leaders at a United Nations summit on climate change in Poland on Wednesday. "You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to us children," 15-year-old Greta Thunberg said, scolding the crowd of negotiators at the COP24 meeting for not doing enough to fight climate change. After two weeks of negotiations, nearly 200 nations agreed on a set of rules meant to help curb global warming, but scientists and even the negotiators themselves say the moves won't be enough to stop carbon pollution from reaching critical levels.
