8M tonnes of plastic enter oceans yearly—much via wetlands, harming biodiversity. On #WED2025, we stood with communities in Turkana & Tana River to #EndPlasticPollution through cleanups, tree planting & dialogue. Plastic is persistent. But united action is powerful. #PlasticFree

Ever noticed how the night sky isn’t as dark as it used to be? That’s light pollution and it’s a growing problem for wildlife. 🌆 From sea turtles to migrating birds, artificial light confuses animals, messes with sleep, and can even disrupt entire ecosystems. 🐢🐦 The good

132 countries & the EU have signed the Convention on Migratory Species, recognizing the importance of migratory species conservation, encouraging action particularly for species at risk, and supporting both national and international efforts to conserve species and the ecosystems

The Buff-banded Rail is adaptive and is found in mangroves, coast & even urban garbage dumps in Brisbane. Still the bird went extinct on the main islands of Fiji and is declining rapidly in New Zealand due to introduced rodents. Shows how invasives threaten even common species.

The other common Queensland parrot is the Crimson Rosella. More intricate in its pattern than the King, this queen of psittacines is a striking red & blue. Interestingly, a study finds that its behaviour of crushing eggs of other rosellas makes it its own worst enemy! IndiAves

Wetlands are disappearing and with them, vital lifelines for migratory species. 🪿 The Convention on Wetlands's newly released #GlobalWetlandOutlook2025 reveals a sobering reality: we could lose 1 in 5 wetlands by 2050 unless urgent action is taken. From jaguars in the Pantanal to millions

This striking black & gold Regent Bowerbird was hopping on to a morning feed of seed that the guide at Lamington offered him. The only place where you can see the normally shy beauty up close & personal as it is restricted to the central coastal high rainforests of Queensland

🌏 Wetlands International South Asia has landed at #COP15, armed with chai, charm, and very serious concerns about our vanishing wetlands.🦩 Where are the wetlands in your climate plan? 👀 South Asia’s speaking up, rallying for concerns that matter! 🌊 #SaveOurWetlands #COP15

Great to see mangrove plantation drives, especially when they restore areas where mangroves were lost, given all the important functions they provide. As the same time it is critical that open unvegetated intertidal mudflats are maintained for their own unique ecological values🦩
