What do the “Barbie” movie, “Mission: Impossible” and “Nyad” have in common? These 2023 films all pass the Climate Reality Check, a storytelling standard that sets two simple criteria: 1. Climate change exists, 2. And a character knows it. Click below for our interview with Dr. Matthew Schneider-Mayerson—the test’s lead researcher, to learn more about the Climate Reality Check and why climate narratives matter.

Over one-third of America’s plants and animals struggle to survive in the face of shrinking habitats and climate change impacts. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would provide long-term stability and security for states and tribes to manage at-risk species and the habitats critical to their survival. In his recent Forbes column, TNC Global Board Chair Senator Bill Frist, M.D. says this investment in wildlife conservation can’t come soon enough.

📣🌱 This is our window to secure a #NaturePositive economy for all by 2030. With less than 100 days until the UN Biodiversity #COP16, the Business for Nature coalition has published a business statement outlining five high-level policy recommendations for governments to accelerate the implementation of the #BiodiversityPlan to drive corporate #Nature action. The statement, endorsed by 130 businesses and financial institutions with combined revenues of $1.1 trillion, calls on governments to adopt policies to: 🌎 Make sure business and finance protect nature and restore degraded ecosystems 🌎 Ensure sustainable resource use and management to reduce negative environmental impacts 🌎 Value and embed nature in decision-making and disclosure 🌎 Align all financial flows to transition to a nature-positive, net zero and equitable economy 🌎 Adopt or strengthen ambitious global agreements to address key nature loss challenges It’s time for governments to create an enabling regulatory framework and put nature at the heart of decision making. 🔗 Find out more: https://nature.ly/468fxEB

Did you know that even a tiny ant can disrupt the balance of an entire ecosystem? The invasive big-headed ant is causing a ripple effect in the savanna, impacting everything from trees to lions! Scientists from TNC Wyoming, in collaboration with Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, are investigating the cascading impacts of this small but mighty creature.

"This legislation has paved the way for tremendous innovative conservation funding. In just 25 years, the Tropical Forest Conservation Act has helped to protect 68 million acres of forests and coral reefs that have both local and global significance. We congratulate the Government of Indonesia and the U.S. Treasury Department for closing yet another bilateral TFCCA deal today which is the first time that this specific instrument is being used to protect marine habitat and corals.” - Jennifer Morris, CEO, The Nature Conservancy On the 25th anniversary of the Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Conservation Act, we’re thrilled to announce a new TFCCA debt-for-nature swap with Indonesia. Through this agreement, $35 million will go towards supporting local projects that are protecting and restoring the country’s coral reef habitats and helping to create sustainable livelihoods for communities that rely on these marine ecosystems. Indonesia is home to a whopping 16% of the world’s coral reefs, and many of these habitats are facing huge threats. Healthy coral reefs provide essential habitat for a quarter of all marine animals, including many commercially important fish and shellfish species so this agreement will be critical to protecting marine biodiversity and achieving our ambitious conservation goals.

The beautiful Great Lakes, cherished for their natural beauty and vital contributions to local economies, hold the unfortunate title of being the world’s most invaded freshwater ecosystem. With an estimated 64 species deemed invasive due to the immense harm they cause, these waters are under significant threat. Now, energies are focused on improving the early detection of species to prevent their establishment and spread, as well as controlling populations of established harmful invasives. Discover more on this issue and explore the innovative solutions TNC is developing to protect these waters.
