Before Paris Agreements and Global Biodiversity Frameworks, there were just kids who thought that rainforests & lions & elephants & dolphins were wonderful - and that we should try to keep them safe. It's good to have a day to remember why we do what we do. Happy World Wildlife Day! 🌴🦁🐯🐘🦏🐻🐨🐼🐋🐝🐺🦤🌳

Yes, the environmental crisis is urgent—but constant emergency messaging only leads to paralysis. And yet, there's a global community of conservationists proving every day that we can turn this around. Conservation Optimism exists to rebalance the story. Welcome to 2026. #ConservationOptimism

Wonderful to see @conservoptimism.bsky.social’s own very brilliant Reshu Bashyal and six other fantastic conservationists winning 2025 Whitley Awards at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) this evening 😊🏆🥳 #WhitleyFundForNature #conservationoptimism
