This #WorldMentalHealthDay, let's make some space for nature.🌿

Nature is essential for physical, emotional and mental health and well-being, as more biodiverse environments, and access to them, facilitate recovery from stress, depression & other health-related conditions. ❤️‍🩹

Migratory birds need urgent action and support from all actors to address the unprecedented threats they face.

Let this #WorldMigratoryBirdDay be a call to listen to the science and redouble efforts to implement evidence-based policies to better protect people & nature.
—L. Dziba, IPBES Exec. Sec.

Quote: "The recent IPBES Business and Biodiversity Report shows that civil society plays an important role in generating data, knowledge and capacity that can ensure that businesses, state and non-state actors drive positive action for biodiversity. From simple at-home sightings to trained volunteers contributing to coordinated global efforts, such actions can help scientists detect population trends, identify emerging threats and inform conservation measures at local, national and international levels." — Luthando Dziba, Executive Secretary, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

Did you know elevated CO₂ reduces protein in flower pollen? New research reveals: 📉 Larger pollinators are less abundant in high-CO₂ areas. 🐝 Yet, large bees are among our most effective pollinators. Understanding these shifts is key to supporting vital pollinators in a warming world.

The 2026 WWF Living Planet Report has been published! 📢

The IPBES Nexus Assessment resonates with the Living Planet Report’s focus on fairness: the response options that scored highest on equity also offered greater effectiveness.

Quote: "The Living Planet Report confirms that declines in biodiversity continue across the globe, driven by energy, farming and financial systems. These drivers were highlighted in the 2024 IPBES Nexus Assessment, which found that US$7 trillion a year is invested in activities that damage nature. Yet there are reasons for optimism. The Nexus Assessment highlighted 71 response options to drive transformation and generate benefits across biodiversity, water, food, health and climate. Because many response options enable and amplify one another, combinations of these solutions can become positive tipping points that shift whole systems." — Pamela McElwee, IPBES Nexus Assessment Co-Chair.

A widespread lack of awareness regarding the scale and consequences of land degradation remains a major barrier to action. Because drivers are often distant and impacts localized, degradation is frequently overlooked as an unintended consequence of development.
