http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/rice_field_sumatra_c_nico_boersen_from_pixabay_1.jpg?itok=mBlnIDfW Making timber and crop production sustainable would address some of the biggest drivers of wildlife decline. This finding comes from a new tool, STAR, that allows companies, governments and civil society to accurately measure their progress in stemming global species loss.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/qjEggPl9qQQView the full article -

http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/nlc_monitoring_activity_tonle_sap_smaller_1.jpg?itok=fOE7_6qL Despite being one of the most biodiverse countries in Asia, Cambodia had no national NGOs working directly on conservation as recently as 15 years ago. BirdLife set out to change that, and in 2004 established a country programme. Fast forward to 2021 and NatureLife Cambodia is the newest Partner in the BirdLife flock.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/NbGrUpPwy6cView the full article

http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/andean_cloud_forest_c_martin_mecnarowski_insta_1_cropped.jpg?itok=clRPOUr_ A new study analysing sites across the world has found that in most cases, economic benefits are higher when habitats are conserved or restored rather than converted to human uses such as farming. These findings add important ammunition to our fight for a greener future.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/yy-CbHLa7-gView the full article

http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/us-mexico_border_wall_c_hillebrand_steve_usfws_1.jpg?itok=zYTKcBfG As global temperature rises, species will be driven across national borders to find suitable habitat. Physical barriers like the USA-Mexico wall and fences between Russia and China aren’t the only complication. BirdLife’s Chief Scientist Dr Stuart Butchart explains how countries experiencing the greatest species loss may be in the worst position to protect nature.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/IJ0TzgvEioEView the full article

Here’s why the world should redirect financial flows away from nature destruction and ensure biodiversity is mainstreamed into business.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/0G6Xe8rgB2AView the full article

We're celebrating the incredible work of the Albatross Task Force women, whose dedication helps give our wonderful albatrosses a fighting chance.

http://www.birdlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/news/red_kite_c_scott_m_ward_shutterstock_smaller_1.jpg?itok=U9GMCoGo The 2020 Red List update showed that many raptors are now in peril. In more positive news, the Red Kite was downlisted to Least Concern, thanks in part to a wildly successful reintroduction program that saw the species return to England and Scotland after a century’s absence.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/4ikoK1dsqzgView the full article

Key to this is recognising and implementing the universal right to a healthy environment, including the rights and role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and embedding these provisions in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BirdLife-news-posts-blogs/~4/rdMwxRyLHNYView the full article
