There is hope in the @IPBES report on biodiversity: it comes from the indigenous and local communities proactively protecting ecosystems and species from extinction. The #GuardiansOfTheForest have been and will always be #PartOfTheSolution

Think that #ClimateChange is the only crisis facing #Nature? The @IPBES #GlobalAssessment Report is the first to rank the relative impact of drivers of #biodiversity loss. 1. Land/Sea Use Change 2. Direct Exploitation 3. Climate Change 4. Pollution 5. Invasive Species

Since 1970 vertebrate populations fell: by 40% for land-based species by 84% for freshwater species by 35% for marine species @IPBES #GlobalAssessment Report on #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Services http://ipbes.net

Up to 1 Million Species Are Threatened With Extinction
More species are now at risk of extinction than at any other time in human history. —IPBES Global Assessment

Migrating shore birds are suffering from the effects of pollution. Local projects on the management of plastic waste, such as deposit return schemes, can bring results in a short period of time. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #CleanSeas

These five reasons are why nature is in dangerous decline according to #GlobalAssessment report via @Ipbes. Better use, management and restoration of ecosystems such as #wetlands and #forests is important for biodiversity to flourish. #KeepWetlands

The global seaweed industry generates US$6BN a year. 85% of this nutrient-dense is in food and even in skincare and biodegradable bags.

Nobody wins in a war over the earth's real estate. Conservation strategies need to focus on the key driver of the loss of healthy wildlife populations — their habitats. #IPBES7 #biodiversity My opinion in the @mailandguardian

You may have read about it, but now you can actually SEE the threat to #coralreefs . A real time map vividly shows you where warming water in #Ocean is causing coral reef bleaching. @NOAA #marine #nature

Insect pollinators are important for #ecosystems and #development, as they help maintain the crops that provide foods for human. #UK is growing a mile “ corridor” to protect these species.

The @IPBES #GlobalAssessment sounds the alarm on #biodiversity, calling for transformative change. Here are examples of governments and industries taking actions to protect our #Ocean. #nature #SustainableDevelopment

By 2050, land degradation is projected to reduce global crop yields by 10% and as much as 50% in certain regions. What will #biodiversity look like in decades to come? Find out the

@IPBES #GlobalAssessment report!

The @IPBES #GlobalAssessment Report identifies changes in land and sea use as the most significant direct driver of changes in nature. To halt and reverse #biodiversity loss and the degradation of nature, we need more sustainable #agricultural practices and food systems.


Key facts on agriculture: IPBES #GlobalAssessment
Compiled by 145 expert authors from 50 countries over the past three years, with inputs from another 310 contributing authors, the IPBES Global Assessment is the most comprehensive of its kind.

One million animal and plant species are threatened with #extinction. Negative trends in #nature will continue to 2050 and beyond in all of the policy scenarios explored in the #IPBES7 report, except those that include transformative change.

Plastic pollution is a major driver of #biodiversity loss. The #BaselConvention amendment to control #plastic waste is a major step forward. #CleanPlanetHealthyPlanet #BreakFreeFromPlastic @brsmeas

Pollution is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss.
Plastic pollution, industrial waste, and fertilizers entering the coastal ecosystems all contribute to the decline of species on land and in the ocean. — IPBES Global Assessment
