Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon or twice as much as all forests combined. However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture. Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Isn’t it sad that instead of reuniting the world for peace, we are arming ourselves to the teeth? Is this the future - bombing each other when we should be better communicators ? Disarming ? Instead , we prepare for conflict . Very sad world leader , very sad :( #NATOSummit

Indigenous Peoples have been among the world’s most effective environmental stewards. Yet, they receive less than one per cent of international climate funding. A new @UN report calls for reforms that will benefit these communities. Via @UN_News_Centre news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

It is against the law to disturb or destroy the nests of wild birds while it's in use or being built in the UK.  This is enshrined in the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The law aims to protect wild birds during their breeding season.

Cherry trees in Kyoto, Japan have shifted their blooming time forward by two weeks.  This shift isn't random. As global temperatures rise, plants respond to warmer springs by flowering sooner. 📈: by @ed_hawkins based on data from @OurWorldInData
