For days, smoke covered the skies. The aftermath of the devastating forest fires last year in the #Amazon river basin in Chiquitanía, Bolivia, is heartbreaking to see. The forests here evolved to coexist with fire, but if the fire trends continue, the forest may lose its ability to bounce back. The fresh green shoots emerging in the forest now are a sign of hope, but if new growth continues to replace old, the habitat will slowly degrade and will be less able to support an abundance of life. It is essential to increase efforts to protect forests and prevent fires. Only through concrete and collaborative actions can we avoid new tragedies.

Why do we track Adélie penguin movements? 🐧 Until recently, scientists have had little idea where these little explorers go during their winter months at sea. ❄️ Tracking data, analysed by researchers at CNRS with support from WWF, gives us a little peek into their whereabouts. 🗺️ This data can be used to help push for stronger management and creation of new marine protected areas in the #SouthernOcean. 🌊

March of the penguins! 🐧 As the month of March wraps up, let’s give a nod to the Emperor penguins who arrive at their breeding colonies in late March to April, during the coldest, darkest months of the year. 🐣 Surviving in temperatures as low as -50°C, they’re the only warm-blooded creatures breeding in the Antarctic winter. Let’s show some love to these resilient little survivors. 🙌

March kicks off the eventful panda breeding season. 🐼🐼 From now until May, females may mate with multiple males over 2-3 days. The competition between males can get intense, though it may not sound as you'd expect… WWF-China’s Senior Programme Manager Pu Guijun describes it as like the sound of bleating sheep! 🐏 🔊 Turn your sound on to hear it! [Video description - image of a giant panda in a tree with sound overlaid of two pandas breeding.]

A brilliant way to get your #DailyDoseOfNature! 🌸
We interrupt your feed with an official invite to take a break with blossom 🌸 These tiny blooms can make a massive difference to your day. From boosting your mood to reducing stress, there’s no end to the benefits of nature, which is why we’re inviting you to step away from your screen and take a break with blossom this spring. It can be a five-minute breather or a longer break. You can invite colleagues, pets or go solo. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the countryside, a city or somewhere in between: you can find blossom anywhere. All you have to do is reap the benefits of nature and plan a Big Blooming Break that suits you. How to get involved: 🌸 Download your free guide to The Big Blooming Break: https://lnkd.in/eK43QCR7 🌸 Pop a note in your calendar to remind you to take your break. 🌸 Click ‘attend’ on this event and share it with any colleagues, friends or family who you think would benefit from a quick pause surrounded by blossom. 🌸 Enjoy your break and take notice of how blossom makes you feel. Share your experience with us using #BlossomWatch. Why spend a moment with blossom? After the dark days of winter, spring sprouts little moments of joy to lift our spirits. We’re encouraging you to get out and grab those moments when you can. When you live a busy life in a busy place, sometimes it’s hard to feel close to nature. So, make time for yourself and pencil in a moment to enjoy blossom this spring.

For the love of bamboo. 🎍🐼 Giant pandas have an almighty affinity with this plant. While humans may spend an hour or two eating a day, panda bears spend anywhere from 10-16 hours a day chowing down on the stuff. They even have a favourite type – one which has aged for 1-2 years as its more tender and nutritious!
