How should we balance and align differing priorities for conservation to best stop biodiversity loss? Join us on June 26 at 8 am PT for a collaborative breakfast session at Michael Kingsmill Forum 🦋 Let’s discuss, share, and strategize together! #NACCB2024 SCB North America

Saving the Planet, One Priority at a Time 🌎 The clock is ticking: we need to protect at least 30% of the Earth's surface. But where do we start? The answer lies in Key Biodiversity Areas (#KBAs), the most important sites for nature's survival. 🌿 🌐 bit.ly/44UN6J8

Did you know... 🐸 Half of the world’s biodiversity can be found in rainforests 🌳 Rainforests absorb and store up to 30% of global carbon emissions 🌍 Scientists agree that protecting rainforests is critical to ensuring a climate-stable future Happy #WorldRainforestDay!
