Over $1 million from Tiffany & Co.’s "Love For Our Oceans" initiative is driving efforts to protect “super reefs”—climate-resilient coral ecosystems capable of withstanding rising temperatures and regenerating thriving marine habitats. Though coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean, they support 25% of all marine life, protect coastlines, and sustain millions of livelihoods. These underwater ecosystems are true powerhouses—but they’re under threat. Thanks to this vital support, we’re ensuring they can continue to flourish for generations to come. In Belize, this partnership is driving bold ocean conservation efforts, including legally safeguarding 25% of its ocean space, with plans to reach 30% by 2026. These protections strengthen biodiversity while benefiting coastal communities, fisheries, and tourism. Together, we’re ensuring a stronger, healthier future for our oceans and the people who rely on them. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eb7zHRqe

Climate change is no longer a distant threat. It’s here, reshaping our world through rising sea levels, stronger storms, floods, wildfires and prolonged droughts. But amid these challenges, there’s a powerful truth: we are not powerless. Around the globe, communities are coming together, working with nature and with each other, to build resilience and create a safer, healthier future. These are climate-strong communities – from residents developing creative ways to add trees to their streets to a coastal town restoring wetlands to buffer storm surges and a rural network protecting water sources for generations to come. Learn what climate-strong communities look like around the world: https://nature.ly/3HgaE46

Reason to Celebrate in South America 🎉 Critical conservation efforts in the Amazon are getting a major boost! 🚀 With help from TNC’s Nature Bonds program, Ecuador refinanced its international debt, generating some $460 million for conservation over 17 years. The funds will safeguard 4.4 million acres of rainforest (an area almost the size of New Jersey) and nearly 12,000 miles of rivers, while improving management of biodiverse hot spots boasting species like these Moriche palms. 🌴 📸 David Pattyn/Nature Picture Library

The Delta was once America's largest forested wetland ecosystem. Today nearly 80% of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley forest cover has been lost. Sandi Rose, a floodplain restoration manager for TNC in Arkansas is working with landowners and other partners in an area known as the Big Woods to help restore a bit of what was lost. Let's go into the Big Woods: https://nature.ly/3GMwlIM

Did you know that tuna is one of the most traded seafood commodities in the world? It also has one of the lowest levels of monitoring and verification. While global tuna stocks are considered relatively stable, tuna fisheries are responsible for some of the highest rates of marine ecosystem impacts, including bycatch of ocean wildlife like sea turtles, sharks, seabirds and rays. One of the biggest obstacles to sustainably managing global tuna fisheries, protecting ocean wildlife, and delivering tuna products that inspire consumer confidence is the lack of on-the-water monitoring and data. Since tuna migrates thousands of miles across dozens of territories—each with its own regulations, laws and enforcement mechanisms—international cooperation managing and monitoring stocks is needed. To address these challenges, The Nature Conservancy launched the Tuna Transparency Pledge, a global initiative uniting companies and governments to achieve 100% on-the-water monitoring on all industrial tuna vessels by 2027. Since its launch in April 2024, the Tuna Transparency Pledge has grown significantly to include major retailers, suppliers and food service companies, as well as governments and other key actors. Today, we are thrilled to share that the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Palau, and Panama have joined the Tuna Transparency Pledge, taking a bold yet achievable step in transforming the health and sustainability of our oceans. Together with Belize and the Federated States of Micronesia—both of which joined the Tuna Transparency Pledge in April 2024—these six country signatories represent more than 15% of the global tuna catch. By requiring monitoring across all industrial tuna vessels fishing in their jurisdictions, these countries are driving the industry-wide transformation necessary to protect this valuable resource and other ocean wildlife now and in the future.

Big news for urban conservation! Measuring, quantifying, and communicating the benefits of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) just got easier thanks to the GSI Impact Hub, a digital suite of resources for stormwater practitioners, policymakers, and advocates in the U.S. and Canada to quantify the important role of GSI in our communities. This *free* resource offers an expansive range of educational guides and an interactive calculator to analyze the multiple benefits that GSI projects can present at a local level. The GSI Impact Hub was developed by The Nature Conservancy, The Green Infrastructure Leadership Exchange, and One Water Econ, in collaboration with an advisory team of water utilities. 👉 Explore this new suite of resources and tools: https://gsiimpacthub.org/

Splash of Color 💦 🌈 Members of a “wild swimming” group called Las Truchas enter Mendieta Bay in Peru’s Paracas National Reserve. The club initially formed during the pandemic as a way for women to safely enjoy moments of connection with one another and nature by swimming in open waters. Peruvian born photographer Ana Elisa Sotelo, a member of Las Truchas, traveled to beaches, lagoons and rivers across Peru and Chile to capture the spirit of the movement in this photo. 📸 Ana Elisa Sotelo

Rodent on the Rebound 📈 Populations of the locally endangered Franklin’s ground squirrel have dwindled along with its prairie habitat in Indiana. But a TNC preserve is giving the species a fresh start. TNC recently partnered with scientists at Purdue University and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to release 25 wildcaught ground squirrels into TNC’s Kankakee Sands preserve. In a twist, several squirrels gave birth before their planned return to the wild, so a total of 41 animals were set free. 🙌 🍼 🐿️ The team is planning another release this summer, with the goal of establishing a permanent population in the species’ historic stomping grounds. 📸 Joel Sartore/Photo Ark/Minden Pictures
