Caribou make the longest land #migration on Earth. 🦌 Sadly, reduced sea ice quality and ice-breaking ships are disrupting caribou migration routes, but a new AI tool could help predict their sea ice crossing times, and prevent ships from disrupting the journey. 🚢 www.arcticwwf.org/newsroom/new...
It's official, 2025 was the hottest year on record in the UK. 🌡️ All five of our hottest summers have now occurred since 2000. ⚠️ Delaying #ClimateAction is no longer an option. Together we can stop the destruction of nature and bring our world back to life. 🌍 news.sky.com/story/summer...
Autumn: pending... (apologies to anyone still holding onto summer)
Happy #PrimateDay 🐒 Primates keep forests healthy, dispersing seeds & promoting growth. Without primates, forests would suffer. Support our work to protect & restore their vital habitat 🌳 buff.ly/m88ukCP @wcs.org @wwf.org.uk @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social

There’s a lot you can tell from an orangutan’s face! 🦧 These visual cues provide valuable insights into individual identify, age and social status, helping scientists at WWF-Malaysia in monitoring local populations.
Deforestation is never 'just trees'. It’s half a million lives lost in 20 years because we stripped away nature’s cooling system. We don't just need nature. We ARE nature. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"This sunny weather has allowed uninterrupted combining. We’ve brought in barley and oat crops a few weeks earlier than usual, which is welcome - but the yield is lower than expected." - Stuart, Farmer, Scottish Borders. 🌾 Nature’s calendar is changing and farmers will need support to adapt. 🚜
Elephants sometimes come close to humans in search of water. In Kenya, WWF & partners help support coexistence with these giants of the African savannah using solar-powered electric fences around schools and clinics. These fences reduce the risk of elephants and people coming into close contact. 🚧
Running into the long weekend like
Forests are vital in fighting climate change. 🌲 The Amazon Soy Moratorium has been one of the greatest successes in halting #deforestation since its implementation in 2006. Scrapping it sends the wrong signal ahead of #COP30 and threatens the Amazon. ❌ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Hatchlings have entered the group chat...🐣 In August, baby waved albatross are hatching and making their debut! These seabirds lay eggs April–June, and after two months of egg-sitting, chicks start cracking out into the world. 📍 Galápagos Islands
Nature’s calendar is out of sync. Across the UK, berries are ripening early & trees are shedding leaves. These aren’t signs of early autumn, but of ecosystems under stress from heat & drought. ⚠️ Our wildlife will struggle as food sources vanish too soon. 🐾 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Talks to agree on a global #PlasticsTreaty have failed. It's concerning that we're no closer to an effective solution after nearly 3 yrs of negotiations. Plastic pollution won’t wait and neither can we. Leaders must deliver on their promise to #StopPlasticPollution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
#DYK deforestation doesn’t just harm nature? It puts our health at risk too. ⚠️ When forests are destroyed, wildlife is pushed closer to people - increasing risk of diseases like Ebola, malaria & COVID-19 spreading from animals to humans. Protecting forests helps protect us all. brnw.ch/21wUJCW

And we shouldn't be burning ANY of it. ⚠️🚫 It's deeply concerning to see BP continuing to pursue fossil fuel expansion. Renewable energy is not only better for our climate, it also makes the most economic sense. We need investment in tomorrow's technologies, not yesterday's.
A magical moment captured with the European brown bear. 😍🐻 As summer winds down, these bears will be searching for food to store energy in fat reserves, ready for hibernation.

🦈 Behold! The UK’s largest fish! 📍 Basking sharks are commonly seen cruising coastal waters in summertime, especially off Cornwall, the English Channel, and the Isle of Man. Despite their huge size, these gentle giants are completely harmless to humans, feeding only on tiny plankton.

🚨We can't let this become our new normal. Climate change is making extreme heat more frequent & more severe. Last year, global temperatures went beyond the 1.5℃ climate threshold for the first time. It’s already looking like the same could happen in 2025. 🌡️
