Mangroves provide a shield from storms, are a source of food & shelter, & a cradle of marine life that sustains their livelihoods.

To protect such vital ecosystems, this village in Colombia is uniting the local communities to restore the mangroves: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Through more4nature we are exploring how citizen generated data and citizen & community led actions can increase the availability and quality of information about forest health, species distribution, and biodiversity indicators.

The national park would contain 10% of all Quercus petraea forest in Denmark. This forest type, home to several IUCN-listed species, faces degradation and fragmentation and is now under special protection by the EU Habitat Regulation. #CitizenScience could help inform future management decisions.

New national park proposed for Smålandsfarvandet, #Denmark. Associations, land owners and neighbours are part of the process: mapping areas and species relevant for conservation of natural and cultural sites in four workshops hosted by the Danish Nature Agency, Urland, and University of Copenhagen 🔽

Bird conservation is only going to work if these species have healthy habitats to live in. Can citizen scientists help gather vital information on habitat condition?

A truly enriching afternoon, reminding us that while frameworks help, transformation depends on grounded relationships, local rhythms, and real-time learning.

Case teams shared insights into how contextual realities shape real progress — where success can mean very different things across different places. We ended with a harvest of ideas: surfacing shared challenges, creative workarounds, and emerging solutions from across our global network.

Not all actors are keen on co-#management — and that’s okay. Like a marriage, it takes alignment, willingness, and trust. That’s where our Needs Assessments come in: not as checklists, but as traffic lights — helping teams sense when to pause, proceed, or pivot.

We explored the tangible work of mobilising citizen and community-led hashtag#actions — and what direct actions look like in practice. Spoiler: it’s rarely linear.

Some early signals from our cases suggest:
🪄 Compliance may exist in areas you didn’t think of yet.
🔎 Authorities might indeed need support for compliance efforts
📉 Not all challenges in the current ECA system merely require more data

On the first day, our 20 Pioneers Cases in #ZeroPollution, #biodiversity protection and #deforestation prevention took stock of their progress by checking: Who is causing environmental problems? Which regulations sanction them? Why is its implementation not fully effective? How could we help?

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝

Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.

Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.

🌲 Around 80 citizens visited the Ulvshale National Park with the Danish Nature Agency. The ‘Forest Walk’ served to include citizens in the management. 🧠 Citizen knowledge is crucial in detecting species, observing changes in forest composition or suggesting preferred trails & access points. #Denmark
