Beyond food production, pollinators uphold biodiversity. Almost 90% of wild flowering plants rely on animal pollinators, which in turn maintain healthy ecosystems by enabling plant reproduction, supporting soil health, and nurturing habitats for wildlife.

As of 2025, more than 80 protected areas across over 20 countries have been placed on the IUCN Green List. These include forests, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, and marine ecosystems. What makes the Green List unique is its emphasis on accountability.

Elephants are not commodities; they are sentient beings with tight social bonds, long memories, and emotional depth. To lose them is not just to lose an animal species, but a profound part of the Earth’s natural heritage.

This World Elephant Day, we are called not just to admire elephants, but to act. Supporting collaring programs, advocating for wildlife corridors, and educating others about the role of matriarchs are all ways to contribute.

Pangolins are more than just victims of illegal trade. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling ant and termite populations, thus helping to maintain soil health and ecological balance.

The arrival of the new calf comes at a time when wildlife across Africa faces mounting pressure from climate change, land encroachment, and illegal hunting. Conservation groups are using this opportunity to remind the public of the ongoing need for vigila

Marine Protected Areas may not solve every problem facing the oceans, but they represent one of our best chances. By giving the sea time and space to heal, we also protect the future of food, livelihoods, and climate balance. The ocean, after all, connect

Despite its ecological importance, the Mugumo tree is increasingly under threat. Expanding agriculture, charcoal production, and urban development are destroying old trees faster than they can be replaced.

The great savannah grounds of Kenya still remember their hooves and if it could talk it would lament on the decrease of the numbers of the species, the land can still carry them but the window to act is closing faster and needs our action to enhance the c

Research indicates that the rampant fires devastating tropical forests in 2024 can be directly linked to human activities, particularly land clearing for agriculture.

With the Western Mau Forest lying adjacent to the dam’s catchment, concerns have been raised in the past about potential ecosystem disruption. However, local environmentalists argue that with proper safeguards, the dam could become a catalyst for long-ter

It is one of Africa’s most elusive and endangered birds, found only in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest and parts of Tanzania with only a count of less than 400 in population making not only rare but also in danger of disappearing entirely.

Often overlooked in discussions of conservation, giraffes play a crucial ecological role in maintaining the delicate balance of savannah ecosystems. Their browsing habits help regulate the growth of trees and shrubs, ensuring that light reaches the ground

Like many forested regions in Kenya, the Mau Forest Complex has long suffered from deforestation, illegal logging, charcoal burning, and encroachment. These pressures have not only degraded the environment but also threatened the traditional livelihoods o

Land fertility is sustained by the biodiversity it supports; therefore, its destruction leads to biodiversity depletion. Additionally, maintaining land quality is crucial for the global population, as it ensures food security.

What makes Sang’s farm stand out is his deliberate intercropping of avocados with indigenous shrubs and grasses. This not only conserves the soil but also promotes biodiversity, creating a habitat for pollinators and small wildlife.

Governments are expected to adopt a political declaration and registry of voluntary commitments by the name Nice Ocean Action Plan for the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean in supporting Sustainable Development Goal 14 on life above and below

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. It includes all living organisms, plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms as well as the ecosystems they form and the genetic differences within and between species.

Reversing biodiversity loss offers a viable path to mitigating the effects of climate change, making it an issue of paramount importance for humanity. Governments and international bodies are currently implementing measures to reverse climate change's imp

Wetlands created behind the dams provide habitats for more wildlife and retain essential water supplies by recharging deep aquifers. The dams slow down streams, creating a natural water filtration system, handling sediment and nutrient runoff and improvin
