Mangroves are carbon-storing superstars, but once lost they are difficult to restore. An innovative Conservación Internacional Costa Rica effort to restore mangroves in Costa Rica’s Gulf of Nicoya could mean renewed hope for coastal ecosystems around the world.

New findings from Conservation Intl scientists show the loss of essential carbon reserves — underscoring the need to halt deforestation and expand protected areas.

An often-forgotten underwater ecosystem is actually a carbon storing superstar.

By implementing measures for conservation, restoration & improved management in kelp & seaweed forests, we can unlock a major climate mitigation tool.

“The efficiency at which kelp is able to pluck the greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere is one of the many reasons why it is increasingly being identified as a potential solution to climate change, the experts said.'

Farmers in Madagascar were caught in a cycle: Climate impacts ravaged crops, forcing them to clear precious forests for planting. Implementing climate-smart farming practices, they are breaking this cycle. And it could mean big things for farming around the world. Green Climate Fund

The people least responsible for climate change are the most affected by it. And it’s not because they face a greater number of hurricanes, droughts or other climate disaster. A new study explains what’s behind the disparities. conservation.org/blog/as-climat…

Dane Klinger, Conservation Intl’s aquaculture expert, developed a first-of-its-kind approach to farming shrimp that boost farmers' yields, while conserving & restoring climate-critical mangroves – because it's time to disrupt the shrimp industry. conservation.org/blog/can-shrim…

Torrential floods. Severe droughts. Extreme weather is taking a grim toll. A new study says more than 3 billion people have been affected by climate disaster over the past 20 years — and the impacts are far from evenly distributed.

A first-of-its-kind approach to farming shrimp is disrupting the aquaculture industry.

This sustainable approach, piloted by Conservación Internacional Ecuador & Konservasi Indonesia, could be essential to feeding the planet, fighting climate change, protecting marine life AND supporting small farmers.

Using underwater robots capable of descending more than 4,500 meters (14,760 ft), researchers say they may have discovered more than 100 never-before-seen species living on the Salas y Gómez and Nazca ridges, which stretch across the southeastern Pacific. conservation.org/blog/deep-sea-…
