🌍 Excited for Next-Gen Forest Solution: Financing a Systemic Solution for Conservation 🌳

📅 Oct 27 | 10:45 - 12:15 (-05)
📍 IUCN Pavilion, Blue Zone

Each year, 5B trees are cut for packaging & textiles. Alternative fibers (think wheat straw & discarded textiles) offer a future with:

✔️ Less land use 🌱
✔️ 5x reduced biodiversity impact 🐾
✔️ CO2 emissions down 4 tonnes per tonne 🌍
Let's talk innovation, sustainable investment, and nature-based solutions for a resilient future!

The crested crane, on the #IUCN red list since 2012, is facing extinction. Once numbering over 100K in the 1970s, Uganda now has only 10K.

🌊 IUCN at the UN Ocean Conference 2025 🌊
From 9–13 June in Nice, France, IUCN will join global leaders, scientists and stakeholders at the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3).

UNOC3 comes at a pivotal moment, the first UN Ocean Conference since landmark agreements like the High Seas Treaty, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the latest negotiations on plastic pollution.
 
📢 As we move into this critical decade for ocean action, IUCN is calling for science-based policy, robust governance and increased resources to protect our one ocean.

Protecting chimps, hippos & turtles — and so much more.

From the nesting beaches of Bijagós to the dramatic karst of Hin Nam No, IUCN recommends five extraordinary sites for inscription on the @UNESCO World Heritage List.
 
These places are home to:
- Up to 850,000 migratory birds
- The world’s largest spider
- Western Chimpanzees & Pygmy Hippos
- Vibrant coral reefs and wetlands
- Iconic cultural landscapes
 
If approved in July, these areas will gain international recognition — and stronger protection for their Outstanding Universal Value.
Find out more about these recommendations at  https://t.co/WxOGlP4goj

🌿 One Health is an integrated, transdisciplinary approach to health that recognizes the interdependence of human health, animal health, and environmental health. Central to the One Health approach is the idea that people cannot sustainably protect any one domain—humans, animals, or nature—in isolation. Each of these domains influence one another in multiple, often complex ways. Without a healthy environment, ecosystems cannot deliver benefits for animal and human health.

The IUCN Forest and Grasslands Team participated in two events focused on One Health during the #IUCNCongress.

🤔What is a primary forest?

IUCN defines primary forests as naturally regenerated forests of native tree species, whose structure and dynamics are dominated by ecological and evolutionary processes, and where if there has been significant prior human intervention, it was long enough ago to have enabled an ecologically mature forest ecosystem to be naturally re-established.

Want to learn more about how primary forests differ from secondary or plantation forests?
