We're at COP31! 🌷 As of Monday, our ZSL team will be in Antalya, Türkiye, for the #UNFCCC Conference of Parties. Take a look at who will be on the ground, and read our position statement at zsl.org/what-we-do/c... #COP31Tuerkiye

We believe #COP31 must turn recognition of the interdependence of climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation into a long term negotiating space, enabling stronger implementation across Rio Conventions. Get in touch if you want to connect with the team in #Antalya 💬

Session 1 of our Turning Points for Wildlife Symposium will explore ecological stories from species on the very edge of extinction. Book your ticket now to join us on 16 and 17 November, and keep an eye out for more speaker announcements: zsl.org/news-and-event… #ZSLat200

Session 3 of the Turning Points for Wildlife symposium will spotlight experiences from across the Pacific, and the role of indigenous people and local communities involved in species rescue. Find out more and join us in November: zsl.org/news-and-event…

In the policy and politics session at our Turning Points for Wildlife symposium, speakers will look at the vital input of management policies for species rescue, and how politics can impact recovery action. Join us on 16-17 November to hear more: zsl.org/news-and-event…

Recovered an adult male common dolphin from Ipswich yesterday- found entangled in a fragment of trawl net, freed by @BDMLR and local fire brigade, but sadly found dead nearby the next day. Phenomenal recovery efforts! #CSIoftheSea exam at @ZSLScience next week, more to follow...

📣 Nature can recover!

We depend on nature, but for too long, it's been undervalued. The latest Living Planet Index – produced by our scientists and published today in WWF’s Living Planet Report – shows us the consequences.

Despite this, there’s reason for hope.

Conservation Index, and half of monitored wildlife populations are either holding steady or growing 💪
