Over 30% of food in the US ends up in the trash instead of feeding people. This waste is costing us money and hurting the planet! The US has two bi-partisan(!) bills in the works right now to take action to prevent food waste. Tell your reps to support them! protect.worldwildlife.org/page/88959/a...
Tell Congress there’s no time for food waste
Over 30% of food in the US ends up in the trash instead of feeding people. And this waste is costing us money and hurting the planet.

Happy #BiodiversityDay! 🌎 Biodiversity supports seed dispersal, which shapes the composition and structure of many ecosystems. The myriad benefits to people provided by those ecosystems would not be possible without these unsung heroes. Read more in our paper just out in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com !
Pollinator decline has captured global attention, but another plant-animal mutualism is quietly unraveling.
Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity article synthesizes global evidence on seed disperser decline and what it means for plant biodiversity, ecosystem recovery, and climate adaptation. 🧵

Only 18% of global lands critical for biodiversity and supporting human well-being are protected and more than a third show high potential for development. Our paper out today shines a light on these high value areas & the need for strategic spatial planning so people & nature can thrive together!
It's possible to achieve biodiversity, climate, and development goals, if countries coordinate. Our new study points to areas where conservation and sustainable management can provide 90% of nature's contributions to people and meet biodiversity goals: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
