Wildlife & wildlands aren’t just scenery—they sustain life on Earth. 🌍 But with 1M+ species at risk, protecting nature takes more than love—it takes investment. This #WorldWildlifeDay, we’re calling on governments & businesses to fund our planet’s future. More: wildlifeday.org/en #WWD2025

🙌 Indigenous communities, activists, and local leaders have successfully halted (for now) 👏 a major mining project in 692,000 acres (280,000 hectares) of Suriname's Amazon Rainforest. 🇸🇷 #indigenousvoices #indigenousrights #suriname

The #Trump administration is making plans to illegally reduce and sell off large swaths of our public lands to oil, gas and mining interests. This would bring irreparable harm to the Indigenous stewards of these lands, the outdoor industry and critical ecosystems we all depend on.

Happy #InternationalPolarBearDay to the Arctic’s most iconic predator! 🐻‍❄️❄️💙
