If you see a swift like this. Pick it up, hold it up, and let it fly off. They can't take off from the ground or flat surfaces. RT this. It could save a swift.

We urgently need to develop nature based climate solutions to protect our natural world and fight climate change. The #corecarbonprinciples will help define high quality credits. And hopefully the market will bring in the needed investment!
.@kavpm shares why it is critical that the voluntary carbon market helps fund #NatureBasedSolutions. Find out more about how our #CoreCarbonPrinciples can support the protection and restoration of nature by helping to create a high-integrity #VCM: icvcm.org/assessment-framewo…

The ocean can pay its way by providing food, tourism, climate functions and safe, stable coasts. But we must take action now to restore #ocean health while the solutions are still within our grasp. #WorldOceansDay #ProtectOurHome medium.com/@WWF/dont-waste-a…

Our editor Phil Jacobson is an American being held in an Indonesian prison for a routine visa violation: he ought to be deported as is usually done in such cases, but instead he is facing up to 5 yrs in prison. #freephil #freephiljacobson Here's his message to Mongabay readers:

Nature is too big to fail. Great report of @PwC_Switzerland and @WWF_Schweiz that tell us what have we learned on climate debate and to put biodiversity conservation and restoration as top priority to keep global warming below 1.5 wwf.ch/sites/default/files/d… – at Miraflores, Peru

The 2010s were strong on promises to halt #deforestation & conversion, yet the decade ended with deforestation on the rise. We can't afford more inaction. It's time to deliver bit.ly/30RGyuj @kavpm @tfa_Global #WEF20 #NewDealForNature #connect2forests

They say it's #TimeForAction but @UN #Climate talks have made little progress at #COP25⏰🌏 We're in the midst of a #ClimateEmergency yet we don't see urgent action for #nature & people. RT & remind leaders you want #ClimateAction now! #TimeForAction We NEED #1o5ToThrive.

It is just so much that can done from #CentralBanks for #Nature & #Climate. @WWFLeadFinance @kavpm – at Madrid, Spain
Central Bankers for #Nature? Yes. @FEldersonDNB_NL highlights beyond climate opportunity, calls on other @NGFS_ members to join a discussion on climate and nature. @climateWWF @despresmorgan #COP25

There should be #NoPlasticInNature
It is not only marine life suffering the devastating effects of #PlasticPollution. Today a deer in Thailand was found dead with 7KG of rubbish in its stomach, including plastic bags, underwear, noodle packaging and towels.

This is how change will come. Commitments from the top of the asset allocation food chain with a clear message: we need to #decarbonize. Bring on the #netzerofinance mandates. #climateaction @climateWWF
4 more large investors are taking #climateaction! @AXA @avivaplc @CNP_Assurances & Fonds de Réserve pour les Retraites today join the Net-zero #AssetOwner Alliance. And commit to slash emissions from their portfolios to net-zero by 2050. #netzerofinance unepfi.org/net-zero-alliance

We depend on nature much more than nature depends on us. We need a #NewDealForNature & People to set our 🌍on a path to recovery. We're hosting a leaders event at #UNGA today to discuss #natureloss and the #ClimateCrisis

.@WWF_DG addresses amazon summit at #UNGA - corruption is the elephant in the room when it comes to tackling deforestation around the world... It is more than an environmental issue but a social and economic one
