Big #Conservation news for #SouthAfrica! 🇿🇦 @CapeNature1 has declared a 7,050ha 'Lettas Kraal Nature Reserve' in the Succulent Karoo. The success of the #ProtectedArea will conserve over 800 plant species, and the critically endangered riverine rabbit. https://t.co/zyh0hLYmQg

🚨Our experts have co-created a guide to set up peer-review & peer-support processes, with contributions & advice of ICCA networks of territories & areas conserved by #IndigenousPeoples & #localcommunities from Colombia, Ecuador, Senegal, Morocco, & Spain: https://t.co/IZVGJu58gR

🌍#ProtectedPlanet November 2025 Update: WDPCA: is 310,367, including 303,773 #ProtectedAreas, covering 244 countries & territories and 6,594 #OECMs covering 16 countries & territories. GD-PAME: No new #PAME records were added. Read More: ⤵️ https://t.co/YyuStX1R7D

🇵🇹 Portugal is accelerating its goal to protect 30% of its #MarineProtectedArea coverage, with the creation of the Madeira-Tore and Gorringe Bank Marine Nature Reserve. This massive 2⃣0⃣0⃣, 0⃣0⃣0⃣km reserve is a HUGE win for biodiversity. Read More:⤵️ https://t.co/lACO8P42A8

🦈Thrilling news from the #SipawayIsland #MPA: Researchers confirmed the sighting of rare Thresher Sharks in the area's shallow waters. This incredible discovery has proven that decades of conservation efforts have resulted in a thriving marine ecosystem https://t.co/2ka1loFziH

🪸Study shows Fiji coral reefs recovered rapidly from acute disturbance (Cat 5 Cyclone): sites losing up to 91% cover achieved near-baseline health in 4 years. 🪸Recovery hinged on strong ecological factors & key data for adaptive coral reef management. https://t.co/qP9hSfL2OX

It's #InternationalSnowLeopardDay! 🐾 These cats are vital to Asia's high-altitude ecosystems, but they remain a vulnerable species. There is an urgent need for international cooperation to protect the snow leopard & its fragile mountain home from poaching and climate change.

🦧 Scientists have discovered a new cluster of the Critically Endangered Tapanuli orangutan in a remote peat swamp. While vital for conservation, this small population is isolated & unprotected, demanding immediate habitat defence. #ProtectedAreas https://t.co/JVcl7Fx0L5

The recent Himachal Pradesh #SnowLeopard assessment confirms a robust population of 83 individuals, a testament to effective conservation efforts. This success proves the critical importance of #ProtectedAreas for the survival of this keystone species: https://t.co/LDwHOzYvRv

It's #SaveTheKiwiWeek - Survival for New Zealand's iconic #Kiwi heavily relies on #ProtectedAreas! Outside of predator-controlled sanctuaries, only 5% of chicks survive. PAs and fenced zones are essential life support, boosting survival rates to ~65%! @savethekiwinz

#ProtectedPlanet is evolving!🌍@unepwcmc We're merging the WDPA & WD-OECM into the new World Database on Protected and Conserved Areas (#WDPCA). This simplifies reporting & boosts our ability to track KMGBF Target 3 (30% effective conservation > 2030). https://t.co/ODbDNrtGK4

🌍#ProtectedPlanet October 2025 Update: WDPA: is 305,645 (303,770 #ProtectedAreas), covering 244 countries & territories. WD-OECM: is 6,631 (6,594 #OECMs), covering 15 countries & territories. GD-PAME: No new #PAME records were added. Read More: ⤵ https://t.co/He0Dknim7i

Happy International #OctopusDay! 🐙 These highly intelligent ocean predators are critical to marine health. Protecting their habitats by supporting #MPAs and #OECMs is essential to securing their underwater home and their future. #OceanScience 📸 - @LiveScience

New species alert! 🦎 Scientists discovered the Sakaerat bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus sakaeratensis) in Thailand's #UNESCO Sakaerat #BiosphereReserve. This find underscores the critical role protected areas play as hidden sanctuaries for unique life: https://t.co/0Y6z8cPjRT

Greece is making waves in marine conservation, demonstrating that protecting the #Ocean can be an effective strategy for boosting a national economy. Anchored by two major commitments: the expansion of #MPAs & the ratification of the #GlobalOceanTreaty: https://t.co/vZXvZPsFu9

Amazing! 🙌 In the #Amazon, local communities are driving huge conservation wins. Protecting lakes means 86 acres of surrounding forest benefits for every 1 acre patrolled. True #OECMs, demonstrating the power of local empowerment! #CommunityConservation https://t.co/uVr1dgIp1Y

A truly sad day 💚 #ThankyouDrJane, for everything you have done for chimpanzee research and for inspiring others to protect wildlife through The Jane Goodall Institute UK.

Launch of New Guidance for Reporting Effectiveness Data to #ProtectedPlanet 📔 The GD-PAME has now been expanded to store information on assessment results, collating data gathered through a range of effectiveness assessment tools > national & site level https://t.co/1R4Cw7d3v8

Historic commitment! 🇸🇷 #Suriname just pledged to protect 90% of its #Amazon rainforest forever. As a global carbon sink, this move sets a new standard for #conservation, tying forest protection to a new, nature-powered economy. #ClimateAction https://t.co/weK3GbaE8Z

Counting Kings: 🦁 Scientists are using Spatially Explicit Capture–Recapture (SECR) to count lions, an apex predator & keystone species. This data provides a clear signal for the health of Africa's #ProtectedAreaEffectiveness. Read More Here: ⤵️ https://t.co/hdlSs2gPDD
