Congratulations to my dear friend @LilyGladstone for making Oscars history, as the first Native American woman to be nominated for Best Actress in Killers of the Flower Moon, and the fourth Indigenous actress to ever earn a nomination in the category.
And to this powerful film’s nine other nominations – telling this story with all of you has been an honor.

#Extrapolations from writer, director, and executive producer Scott Z. Burns follows eight interwoven stories in the near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become embedded into our everyday lives. Airing Fridays on @appletvplus, Extrapolations asks whether we’re brave enough to become the solution to our own undoing before it’s too late.
A three-decades-long, grassroots campaign to protect the remote Peninsula Mitre, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, has finally come to fruition. This week, legislators of Tierra del Fuego Province have voted to permanently protect Peninsula Mitre and its coastal waters. Located at the very tip of South America, Peninsula Mitre is home to one of the continent’s largest peat reserves and intact kelp forests, two powerhouse ecosystems that are key to planetary climate stability.
For years, the local community has sought to transform Peninsula Mitre into a protected area, mobilizing local and international NGOs, including @rewild close partner @Rewilding_Argentina, the offspring of @Tompkins_Conservation. The hard-won success has a global impact on biodiversity loss and climate change at a crucial time to keep the planet’s temperature from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The newly established Peninsula Mitre Protected Area covers 1.2 million acres of land and sea, roughly the size of Grand Canyon National Park, will protect Argentina’s biggest carbon sink, and sets the path for a more robust, nature-based economy in this corner of South America.

Congratulations to the nations that came together to sign the UN High Seas Treaty, an historic agreement that took over a decade of negotiations. The treaty is critical in large part because two-thirds of the world’s oceans are currently considered international waters (the “high seas”), which means they are not subject to any rules and regulations and so are widely overexploited. The treaty will help protect the high seas by establishing protected areas, regulating fisheries, limiting deep-sea mining and directing ship traffic.
While the treaty is a major step in the right direction, it is now imperative that more countries sign on and that those that have signed on begin to implement the measures in the treaty.
Our oceans are home to an incredible diversity of wildlife (with 240,000 known species, a fraction of the total thought to exist), amazing ecosystems from hydrothermal vents to coral reefs, and absorb over 30% of society’s carbon emissions, making it a vital player in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises.

Intag Valley in Ecuador, a haven for biodiversity, is under threat – sign the open letter today at the link in bio to show your support for local communities and the rights of nature.
Hearings to determine the future of Intag Valley, where local communities are fighting a large-scale copper mining project that threatens their home, have been repeatedly postponed.
We implore that judges from the Imbabura provincial court honor their commitment to visit Intag, to hear testimony from the people who rely on the area for their freshwater and livelihoods, and to witness first hand the essence of this irreplaceable place, home to unique and threatened wildlife including the Longnose Harlequin Toad, once considered extinct until its remarkable rediscovery.
We will continue to stand with the communities of Intag until the rights of nature, as outlined in the Ecuadorian constitution, have been upheld.
El valle de Íntag en Ecuador, un paraíso para la biodiversidad, está amenazado. Firma hoy la carta abierta para mostrar tu apoyo a las comunidades locales y a los derechos de la naturaleza [enlace en bio].
Las audiencias para determinar el futuro del Valle de Intag, donde las comunidades locales están luchando contra un proyecto de minería de cobre a gran escala que amenaza su hogar, se han pospuesto en repetidas ocasiones.
Imploramos a los jueces de la Corte Provincial de Imbabura que cumplan con su compromiso de visitar Intag, que escuchen los testimonios de las personas que dependen de la zona para provision de agua dulce y mantenimiento de sus medios de subsistencia, y sean testigos de primera mano de la importancia de este lugar irremplazable, hogar de una vida silvestre única y amenazada, incluido la rana arlequín de nariz larga, considerada extinto hasta su redescubrimiento.
Seguiremos apoyando a las comunidades de Íntag hasta que se respeten los derechos de la naturaleza consagrados en la Constitución ecuatoriana.

A new national park has been established in Colombia. At more than 168,000 acres, the National Natural Park Serrania de Manacacías will safeguard six unique ecosystems and boundless wildlife, including Ocelots, South American Tapirs, South American Coatis, and a quarter of all known bird species in Colombia. This new park will also protect a critical wildlife corridor and will connect the Orinoquía—the continent’s largest tropical savanna—to the Amazon, the largest river basin and rainforest on Earth. The creation of the National Natural Park Serrania de Manacacías highlights Colombia’s commitment to the global goal of protecting 30% of the planet by 2030, to the benefit of all life on Earth.
This victory is the result of the incredible combined efforts of Colombia’s National Parks Agency (PNN), international and local environmental organizations, civil society organizations, philanthropists, artists, and government institutions. The project originated with the hard work of local partners; Jack Dangermond, founder of ESRI (@esrigram); Wyss Foundation; Haley Mellin, founder of Art into Acres; artist Carol Bove; and the David Zwirner Gallery (@davidzwirner); in addition to the financial support of Re:wild through our Amazon Forest Fund.
Critical partners on this project include The Nature Conservancy (@nature_org), the Institute of Investigation of Biological Resources Alexander von Humboldt (@instituto_humboldt), the Institute of Natural Sciences of the National University of Colombia, Wildlife Conservation Society (@thewcs), WWF (@wwf), the Corporation for the Sustainable Development of the La Macarena Special Management Area (Cormacarena), and the Alliance for the Conservation of Biodiversity, Territory and Culture.

The eastern slope of the Ecuadorian Andes has gained new protections thanks to the establishment of the Sucúa Municipal Conservation and Sustainable Use Area. Located in Ecuador’s Morona Santiago province, the new conservation area encompasses 43,840 acres of megadiverse, threatened ecosystems.
The montane forests of Sucúa are teeming with life. Species like the White-Throated Toucan and Humboldt’s Woolly Monkey play a crucial role in dispersing seeds that help grow the forests. And as apex predators, Jaguars help maintain balance in the food chain.
The long-term preservation of these Andean forests also protects water sources for over 30,000 people living in and around the conservation area.
Local Shuar Indigenous communities are deeply involved in the area’s protection and sustained management. They are working alongside the local government of Sucúa and @rewild partner Nature and Culture International to monitor threats, including deforestation, agricultural expansion, and illegal hunting.
Further support for this project was provided by the Andes Amazon Fund with generous contributions from the Wyss Foundation and Art into Acres in partnership with Re:wild.

In @RollingStone’s latest investigative report, we take a look at ReconAfrica; a Canadian oil company exploring for oil in one of the most important places for the wild: the Okavango River Basin in Namibia & Botswana. This includes the Okavango Delta, a #KeyBiodiversityArea (KBA) of global importance to the planet’s overall health and the persistence of biodiversity. It’s also a @UNESCO World Heritage site and a #Ramsar wetland site and home to one of the oldest cultures in the world.
We can avoid the worst effects of climate change and protect the wild, but we need to stop burning fossil fuels.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide related to energy production grew by 0.9 percent in 2022, reaching a new high of over 36.8 billion metric tons, according to a report by the International Energy Agency.
The growth was slower than expected and slower than last year’s global GDP growth rate of 3.2 percent as renewable energy growth offset much of the impact of greater coal, oil and natural gas use.
But climate experts stressed that global CO2 emissions must be turned around and be shrunk on a sustained basis if climate targets are to be met. The IEA said that “emissions still remain on an unsustainable growth trajectory.”

Australian conservation organization @AussieArk is celebrating the first-ever Manning River Turtle egg clutches laid by individuals in their insurance populations. Hatchlings from these clutches will safeguard this Critically Endangered species from extinction. Manning River Turtles are found only in their namesake river in New South Wales, Australia.
To safeguard these eggs, all 12 were transferred into an incubator where the temperature and humidity can be kept stable to maximize the chances that the eggs will develop and successfully hatch. The eggs should hatch in approximately two months, and the youngsters will be cared for by Aussie Ark for about a year before they are released into the wild. This is the first-ever conservation breeding program for this species, supported by @rewild and the @turtleconservancy.

The Connect to Protect Coalition recently announced that it invested $118 million to protect the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor (CMAR). The coalition works with elected leaders, local communities, and Indigenous communities to connect and protect the marine environments of the Cocos Island (Costa Rica), Cordillera de Coiba (Panama), Galápagos Islands (Ecuador), Gorgona, and Malpelo islands (Colombia), encompassing more than 600,000 square kilometers (235,000 square miles) of ocean.
The funds will support projects for the next 2-5 years and will help make the region more resilient to climate change and protect its incredible biodiversity.
CMAR harbors one of the most biodiverse areas in the ocean—home to species such as Humpback Whales, Ridley Turtles and Hammerhead Sharks, as well as many migratory seabirds.
