The endangered okapi can only be found in the wild in one place on Earth: the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, primarily in the Ituri rainforest. Protecting the Congo Basin means protecting some of the planet’s most vulnerable species and the future we all depend on. 🌍 #WildHope

The harpy eagle is an apex predator — and a sign of a healthy rainforest.🌿 The @bezosearthfund.org is helping protect the Amazon so this spectacular species can thrive. #WildHope

Measurable win in the southeastern U.S.: the red-cockaded woodpecker’s conservation status is improving. Longleaf pine restoration is a big reason why. Backed by @bezosearthfund.org + @nfwfnews.bsky.social with local partners.

Soil does so much for us, but we’ve mostly been guessing what’s happening under the surface. The Earth Rover Program is helping change that. It’s basically an MRI for the ground beneath our feet. George Monbiot tells the story in his piece for the Guardian: bit.ly/48VR4Ft.

Sharks, whales, and turtles cross oceans to survive – but their journeys are growing more dangerous. 🐋🐢🦈 We’re teaming up with Migramar to protect the waters these species depend on – and help reach the global goal of protecting 30% of Earth by 2030. #30x30

Raising cattle doesn’t have to cost the planet. See how the @bezosearthfund.org is backing practical innovations that make livestock part of the climate solution ➡️ bit.ly/4n6cwve. #WorldFoodDay

Thank you @bezosearthfund.org for this groundbreaking effort! 👏

The Pacific Islands are charting a course for the world’s largest ocean protection effort with $37.5 million in new support from @bezosearthfund.org. Includes Solomon Islands, with support from WCS, advancing this work for people, culture, and the planet. 🌏 bit.ly/4mmhTWW

🌊 Big news today! We're granting $37.5M to accelerate ocean protection and support Pacific Islanders as they safeguard an area more than three times the size of France. Read more here: bit.ly/4nBsj65

Whales, sharks, and turtles need safe migration routes. 🐋🦈🐢 The @bezosearthfund.org and @rewildorg.bsky.social are working with partners to help four nations create the world’s first cross-border biosphere marine reserve in the Eastern Tropical Pacific.

We once mapped the Moon better than our own ocean. Now, with support from the @bezosearthfund.org, @darwinfoundation.bsky.social and partners are charting the Eastern Tropical Pacific’s hidden reefs and mountains so we can protect them.

A forest the size of a living room. 🌳 In Elizabeth, NJ, a once-empty lot is now a thriving microforest – and it’s just one of many community-led restoration projects we’ve supported with Groundwork USA to bring nature back to neighborhoods. NYT story → nyti.ms/4mI8bPi.

An AI breakthrough offers a major leap forward in how we monitor the world's land🛰️🌍 @aiatmeta.bsky.social, with support from @worldresources.bsky.social Institute, has created DINOv3. It’s a game-changer for geospatial monitoring. Learn more: go.wri.org/ai-finance-f...

With support from the @bezosearthfund.org, Fundación Jocotoco is protecting the waters around the Galápagos – stopping illegal fishing and helping endangered species like hammerhead sharks and sea turtles recover. These waters are part of a vital marine corridor worth defending.

Decades of deforestation and drought have drained life from landscapes like this one in Kenya’s Kieni Forest. Now, local communities are bringing it back – reviving the land, restoring water, and building resilience for a changing climate. Learn more: bit.ly/4osazvn

Dry soil. Lost grasses. A prairie stripped bare. Now, Ryan Lankford is bringing it back – restoring native grasslands on the Fort Belknap Reservation with support from @nfwfnews.bsky.social and the @bezosearthfund.org. See how: bit.ly/4eCMayG.

We are excited to announce that Revive & Restore, in collaboration with the Vertebrate Genome Lab 🧬, has been selected as a Phase I finalist 🏆 for the @bezosearthfund.org AI Grand Challenge for Climate and Nature! The grant will be used to support efforts in conservation genomics and AI 💡.

Nature isn’t separate from us. We depend on its balance for food, clean water, and a livable climate. That balance is breaking. We’re backing solutions that regrow what’s been lost, protect what still endures, and rebuild food systems that work with nature – not against it.

📈📈📈 Big congratulations to the @yalecncc.bsky.social research team led by Elizabeth Yankovsky, Luke Gloege, Noah Planavsky on their Phase 1 award from the @bezosearthfund.org AI Grand Challenge for Nature and Climate. www.bezosearthfund.org/news-and-ins...

We are proud to announce that we have been selected as one of the inaugural grantees in the @bezosearthfund.org’s groundbreaking AI Grand Challenge for Climate and Nature. MERMAID, a WCS initiative, was chosen for its innovative potential and real-world impact. datamermaid.org 🌎

The ocean is Earth’s life support system 🌊 It feeds us, cools our planet, and provides jobs. But only 3% is fully protected. The @bezosearthfund.org is working with organizations like Nat Geo's Pristine Seas to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. Read why this work is so important: bit.ly/4kmhLGp

The @iea.org’s 2025 methane tracker shows fossil fuel emissions are ~80% higher than official reports. Among the satellites informing the report: MethaneSAT. Thanks partners like @bezosearthfund.org, we can deliver actionable data on where emissions are coming from. 🚀

A bird flew 4,000 miles and made it thanks to restored grasslands on working ranches. Native grasses. Shelter. Enough food to keep going. See how support from the @bezosearthfund.org is helping enable the work of @nfwfnews.bsky.social and partners to bring these grasslands back: bit.ly/3SuKfBP.

If we lose the sharks, the ocean begins to unravel. Many of them migrate across the high seas – the expansive international waters beyond national jurisdiction. To protect the ocean, we have to protect the high seas.

@ilri.org is excited to collaborate with @bezosearthfund.org and the Global Methane Hub to advance methane-efficient breeding in Indigenous African cattle. We look forward to collaborating to help farmers across Africa to select for low-methane traits. #WithScienceWeCan #OneCGIAR #CGIARScienceWeek

Livestock is the largest source of methane in agriculture. But not all are the same. Some naturally emit far less. With Global Methane Hub, we’re launching a global initiative to help farmers select for that low-methane trait. Explore more ➡️ bit.ly/42o5BWg.

We need 50% more protein by 2050 – but business-as-usual is destroying the planet. From fungi to cultivated meat, smarter ways to feed the world are already on the table. Read the latest from our Future of Food Director Dr. Andy Jarvis here: bit.ly/43B0R1K.

The high seas – ocean areas beyond borders – are Earth's beating heart, now weakening from human impact. We must protect 30% of the ocean by 2030, impossible without safeguarding these waters that make up nearly 2/3 of the ocean. Our planet needs its heart healthy.

I'm honored to share that @amphibianrescue.bsky.social and our partners at the Amphibian Survival alliance have been awarded a grant from @bezosearthfund.org to combat amphibian extinctions in high diversity places in the neotropics. #WorldFrogDay

Amphibians are disappearing fast, but scientists are working to change that. With new support from the Bezos Earth Fund, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is expanding efforts to breed disease-resistant frogs and restore wild populations before it’s too late.

Buffalo are home again. At Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, their return is restoring the prairie, renewing tradition, and strengthening a sacred connection that was never truly broken. Read more: bit.ly/425fhG2.

Traditional remote sensing tools tell us where trees are, but not what’s happening to the life under them. We recently gathered experts to explore how AI and next-gen sensors could change that. Huge thanks to our partners for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Exciting work ahead!

In the Congo rainforest, life crawls, flies, and roams unseen - until now. With camera traps, Will Burrard-Lucas captured its hidden world. But only 17% is protected. Through 30x30, the @bezosearthfund.org, @wcs.org & others are working to change that so these forests can thrive for generations.

🎙️ PODCAST | 'New frontiers in technology' In this episode of #CurrentsInSustainability, special guest @bezosearthfund.org's Kelly Levin reflects: “One thing that makes me optimistic is potential AI applications to sustainable development." 🎧: sei.org/features/podcast-frontiers-technology/

For the 1st time, we brought together teams tackling Amazon deforestation from all sides. In Belém, we met with our partners working on solutions, from restoring forests to improving cattle supply chains. Meeting in person strengthened collaboration and aligned efforts. The way forward is together!
