Hey! I am a wildlife artist from the UK! Here are some sea turtle t-shirt designs I made for @reservaylt.bsky.social ! Go and check out their shop, they are raising money for sea turtle conservation! #wildlife #wildlifeart #marinebiology #sciart #turtles #wildlifeconservation
☃️While the rest of the world was watching the inauguration last Monday, I took a #snowday off with another @reservaylt.bsky.social board member and actually managed to just have fun out in #nature. Here's your reminder to step outside with friends if you get stuck in a news spiral. ♥️

Really nice post-COP16 recap by Alfonso Escolar for the #GenerationRestoration Youth Hub. Thank you for a great year, @us1torg.bsky.social @globallf.bsky.social 🫶
The cost of inaction FAR exceeds the cost of action.
Damian Carrington@dpcarrington.bsky.social · 2y ago"The unaccounted-for costs of [human damage] to biodiversity, water, health and climate change, including from food production, are at least $10tn-$25tn per year" - @ipbes.bsky.social report #polycrisis www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Another major report shows how climate instability, declining nature, and food insecurity are linked. Wake up time was some time ago. It’s time to get to work. @ipbes.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
IPBES report sees climate, nature and food challenges interlinked
A new approach is needed to tackle the interlinked crises afflicting the planet, scientists warn.

Today sees the launch of the IPBES #NexusAssessment, a landmark global assessment of the interlinked crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, health, food and water. But what does it mean? Read on to hear from @carolinehowe.bsky.social (our new Vice President) & @sebdunnett.bsky.social 🌍🧪

@financialtimes.com published a sparkly look into a #luxuryhotel development in the #Seychelles without noting the environmental devastation it caused. The negligent construction destroyed waters and wetlands around #ChevalBlanc, home to 2 endangered turtle species... 1/4 www.ft.com/content/ff94...

Having an @ipbes.bsky.social Plenary session in Namibia is a pretty big deal! Assessments will be stronger if more science emerges from Africa, particularly with more African scientists leading the research. Anyone who has attended COPs/Plenaries knows location is more than symbolic.
IPBES@ipbes.net · 2y ago#IPBES11 is around the corner! 📢 But...do you know what an @ipbes.bsky.social Plenary session is and why this one is so important? 🤔 One reason (among many) is: it's the first-ever IPBES Plenary session held on African soil! 🌍🧪 📅 10 - 16 December 2024 📌Windhoek, Namibia
When @ipbes.bsky.social listed climate change as one of the top five drivers of biodiversity loss, this is why. These are intertwined crises, and we *have* to solve them both.
Andy Gonzalez@bio-diverse.bsky.social · 2y agoMust read out in @science.org "Climate change extinctions" by @MarkCUrban (on X) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big take home: "extinctions will accelerate rapidly if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C. The highest-emission scenario would threaten approximately one-third of species, globally."
We all have that one friend who finds out about THE climate solution. Regen grazing, planting trees, going vegan, nuclear energy... there is no ONE solution, but there are priorities. @projectdrawdown.bsky.social is great for understanding how we should prioritize the MANY solutions we need to use.
Dr. Jonathan Foley@globalecoguy.bsky.social · 2y agoThe overhyping of regenerative grazing as a climate solution needs to end. While it has some other benefits, regenerative grazing pales as a climate solution compared to shifting diets and reducing food waste. The hype is not helping anything. drawdown.org/index.php/in...
Well done, Benji! What a lovely feature!
Benjamin Fallow 💚@benjaminfallow.bsky.social · 2y ago’Speak up for nature whenever you can! ✨ I feel so proud to be featured in the #NaturalHistoryMuseum magazine’s latest issue! 🙏Thank you so much for sharing my artwork, museum and fundraising, and for encouraging me to help nature’ ❤️🪶 #NHMLondon #NaturalHistoryMuseumLondon benjaminfallow.etsy.com
OK but in the meantime, check out our episode (6) of #CelebrationsWithLaceyChabert on Hallmark+, where Lacey surprises us one of our youth council members with a rainforest birthday party. There's a 7-day free trial, and you can get it on YouTube! 😘 @hallmark.bsky.social @laceychabert.bsky.social

Where is the bsky nature/biodiversity community? 🐸🦉🐛🦋 Tag your favorite accounts we can follow to get our algorithm going! 👇
While on #expedition in Colombia last year, @calliebroaddus.bsky.social and Pearson came across two #bats entangled in drying fishing nets. Because the owner of the nets didn't know how to extract them safely, they were baking in the hot sun. Thanks to P's skills, they now flap free! #goodnews
Absolute wizard. @benjaminfallow.bsky.social has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. For the last few years, he's been using his artistic powers to raise funds for conservation! #BeMoreBenji ♥️

Hey there! We're Reserva, a bunch of kids and young people from 30+ countries working to create protected areas in biodiversity hotspots. We mostly meet virtually to plan fundraisers for our projects, but we've gotten to know each other at school talks, social meetups, conferences, and expeditions!
