Fascinating morning so far at the Defra UK The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate Kew Science DAI Research Symposium. Projects funded through early GCBC investments are strengthening understanding of the interface between climate and biodiversity and how this can drive positive outcomes for people

A bird with a beak shaped like a spoon sounds like something Lewis Carroll might've dreamed up...but the #SpoonBilledSandpiper is real!
#Spoonies are just one of the species of #migratory birds that will be better protected thanks to the #RegionalFlywayInitiative ADB Environment

Through its support for effective management of protected areas, #RamsarSites , and Key Biodiversity Areas, Global Environment Facility (GEF) investments contribute to maintaining intact and connected #ecosystems , which are critical to the survival of #migratoryspecies .

The migratory routes of #birds - flyways - provide an ideal organising principle for coordinated conservation efforts.
Join BirdLife International at #CMSCOP14 to find out more about how we are addressing conservation of #seabirds at the #flyway scale.

Conservation for migratory species relies on #connectivity and #coherence - between countries, between sectors and between conventions.

Best wishes to the whole BirdLife community (including >14 Partners) who will be seeking improved action to protect migratory birds this week.

#NatureConnectsUs ✨

Borders are what divide us, but nature didn’t get the memo. Wildlife stretches across these boundaries, uniting land and sea.

🌐 This week, over 75 member states convene in Uzbekistan for #CMSCOP14 . The agenda? To ensure safe passage for nature across our

Migratory birds connect and inspire us, between countries, and across regions. But these birds are in trouble - without integrated and coordinated conservation responses, the risk of global extinction for many migratory species is escalating.

Major Update 🚨

The landmark State of the World’s Migratory Species Report reveals we are alarmingly off track:

The number of the world's migratory animal species is in decline 📉 and the risk of global extinction is escalating. 💔

At #CMSCOP14 , the BirdLife Partnership is

In Uzbekistan this week for the Convention of Migratory Species #CMSCOP14 - because conservation of migratory species depends on coherent, integrated and inclusive action across borders.

Congratulations Audubon Society and the The Birdsong Project on your #GRAMMY award 👏👏👏

Incredible news from The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate in announcing its first round of research grants! Delighted to see BirdLife International BirdLife International and our Partners awarded as part of this first cohort of grantees.

I love hearing about the career paths of others and what led them to the job they do now. Really enjoyed this interview from Carlos Manuel Rodriguez talking about the experiences and values that have shaped his unconventional career and leadership in conservation 👏🌳🏄‍♂️

Indigenous Peoples and local communities receive less than 1% of biodiversity and climate finance despite being among the most effective stewards of conservation. Their access to this funding must be increased.
