This week, we are participating in the European Regional Preparatory Meeting for the 15th United Nations Crime Congress to call on States to ensure environmental crimes are meaningfully reflected in 2026 Abu Dhabi Declaration. Declaration will guide UN's global crime agenda for 5 years.

A new batch of scarlet macaw chicks has hatched in Guatemala. Our team there hand raises these third and fourth chicks. In the wild, they typically don’t survive. When ready, they’ll be released into the wild to boost the population. More on the project: bit.ly/3G3cYuI

Grateful to the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs & Global Initiative for including WCS in their international conference on #environmentalcrime this week. An honor and privilege to share the stage with such brilliant speakers 🙏

At the Paris Dialogue on #environmentalcrime, we emphasized that a strong accountability mechanism must be central to any new international agreement. Thank you 🇫🇷 and Global Initiative for including our voice.

Proud of WCS's decades-long commitment to protect scarlet macaws in Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve. Without these efforts, there would be no forest, no macaws, no future. Today there is hope 🌱
