When we restore nature, nature restores us. 🌍

The #LivingPlanetReport shows nature is under pressure.

But wildlife CAN recover, when given the chance.

🐅 Tiger numbers rose by over 70% between 2010 and 2025.

🦏 The black rhino population has almost tripled since the 1980s.

🦍 Mountain gorillas back from the brink, now over 1,000.

The average size of monitored global vertebrate wildlife populations has declined by 73% since 1970. 🚨 But there’s hope - nature can recover. This summer, Restoration Forth grew oyster larvae, a positive step for oyster recovery! 🦪 Action matters. Together we can make a difference.

WWF’s Living Planet Report shows that monitored vertebrate populations have declined by 73% since 1970. 🌍 But there’s more to the story that museum collections can help unravel.

We’re losing nature faster than ever before. The Living Planet Report reveals the scale of the challenge facing our natural world, from the wildlife and habitats we love to the ecosystems that provide the food, water and climate stability we all depend on.

The tale of the bluefin tuna is just one story that shows how nature can make a comback. 🐟 We just need to give it a chance. 💚

Breaking: we're losing nature faster than ever before. It’s a stark warning. But it’s not too late to change course. The solutions exist. Now we need meaningful action from leaders to turn things around.

📝 New article on Our World in Data: A 73% average decline in wildlife populations: an overview of the 2026 Living Planet Index report. The 2026 Living Planet Index report is published today. As with previous additions, it can make for a depressing read.

This makes it all the more important to call for and support action. We have the ability to make positive changes - we need to push for it to happen! 💚

We're delighted to be part of this exciting project! Saltmarshes do so much. They support wildlife - from migrating birds to natterjack toad - lock away carbon, and benefit coastal communities.🌿 Gathering new data is a key step in understanding these habitats so we can protect and champion them.

The finalists for the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been announced. 🎉 Here’s a selection of the funniest photos of wildlife to brighten your day.

Badger cub sitting and looking down, as if exhausted. The background is blurred. Three giraffes standing side by side on the open, dry savanna looking towards the camera. Right behind the middle one stood a single umbrella acacia, perfectly lined up with its head and neck, making the giraffe appear as if 'wearing' the tree, like a green hairdo or a rather fancy hat.A tiny green mantis peeks over a leaf in nighttime setting. The mantis seems to be sunbathing or striking a rather glamorous pose. But there is also a small visual trick: half of the insect is hidden behind the leaf. Its hind legs disappear from view and, suddenly, its enormous forelegs begin to look almost like a pair of human legsA squirrel in grass, with greenery in front of its face, with its paws raised up.
