[COMMENTARY] A new op-ed argues that a simple yet powerful climate solution is just waiting in the wings: empowering the world’s most powerful protectors of forests and nature — Indigenous people — and letting them point the way. ** The views expressed are the author's.

What an incredibly powerful experience! It was an honor to participate in the post-performance discussion of the world premiere of Voice of the Animals @climatemusic.bsky.social. Art & science, when brought together, offer a unique, visceral pathway to understanding the urgency of what’s at stake.

Our grantees Wildlife Trust of India recently released a young Chinese pangolin that was found by locals in a village near Noney, Manipur. Deemed fit for release, the healthy 1 year old male pangolin was safely returned to the wild. Amazing and inspiring collaborative work⚡

That’s a wrap on Expo '25! 2 amazing days of collaboration, conservation, and powerful partnerships between @wildnetorg.bsky.social's supporters & conservation partners. Thank you @calacademy.bsky.social for hosting Night 1! Read the recap: wildnet.org/wildlife-con... 📸 Lianna Xiaokui Nakashima

It's not just about saving an animal; it's about healing an entire coast. When passionate donors & dedicated scientists come together, we can overcome funding gaps & build a wave of support to surf sea otter restoration to success! @bloomberglp.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Expo was one for the books ✨ Thanks to all who came out to celebrate, connect, & remind us why global community is so important for wildlife conservation.

The key message I hope resonates: Local conservationists know best how to protect their environments. Thank you @mongabay.com for spotlighting these important conversations🌿 @wildnetorg.bsky.social news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

This World Lion Day, supporters like you tipped the balance toward hope. Your support enables @wildnetorg.bsky.social's Lion Recovery Fund to deploy emergency grants that keep experienced rangers in the field. The challenges evolve, but so does our response. youtube.com/shorts/pg3EA...

With deep gratitude, from Painted Dog Conservation. Thanks to an incredible network of supporters, they have been able to secure this painted dog den area, maintain 24/7 patrols, and equip their teams in the field with essential gear.

There’s nothing quite like seeing conservation in action. My recent visit to #PaintedDogConservation was both moving & energizing. Watching their team protect painted dogs denning in high-risk areas, while seeing the long-term impact of their community programs, was incredibly inspiring!

Feeling inspired & grateful from the #LionFootprintForum in Victoria Falls. Lots of honest conversations, shared challenges, & big ideas with an amazing group of lion conservationists. Huge thanks to #LionRecoveryFund supporters, The Walt Disney Company, Maliasili, & @wildnetorg.bsky.social

Inspired by Jeneria Lekilelei of Ewaso Lions for leading meaningful conversations at the #LionFootprintForum on the emerging challenges of camel husbandry & lion coexistence in Samburu, Kenya. Grateful to see Forum participants contributing ideas to help local communities & lions thrive together.

Proud of my colleague Bwalya and her fellow Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders for their thoughtful engagement at the Lion Footprint Forum! Great to see the next generation of conservation leaders bringing fresh perspective and commitment to lion conservation.

So proud of my colleague Farina Othman & her groundbreaking, innovative work with #SeratuAatai. Her collaborative approach is exactly what conservation needs - uniting local communities, palm oil companies, & government to protect the last Bornean elephants. news.mongabay.com/2025/06/unit...

When the 90-day stop-work order hit U.S. foreign assistance, @wildnetorg.bsky.social donors stepped up. We raised $1.36 million in emergency funding! These donations remind us that community commitment endures, even in challenging times. Latest updates: wildnet.org/emergency-relief-fund/
