Albania’s Vjosa River is the largest wild river in Europe. From the mountains of Greece to the Adriatic Sea in Albania, it spans 300 kilometers, completely free of artificial barriers, like hydropower dams. The rivers and streams that are tributaries of the Vjosa are home to more than 1,100 wildlife species, many of which are threatened. The Vjosa is the crown of the #BlueHeartofEurope and people across Albania want to protect it forever. They are asking to government of Albania to create #VjosaNationalParkNow, which would be the very first wild river park in Europe. Let’s stand with them.

From @Mongabay: Only 4% of the jaguar’s critical habitat is effectively protected across the Americas, and in Brazil’s Cerrado biome it’s just 2%. A survey in Emas National Park in the Cerrado biome concludes that the protected area isn’t large enough to sustain a viable jaguar population, and that jaguars moving in and out could be exposed to substantial extinction risk in the future. The study suggests that improving net immigration may be more important than increasing population sizes in small isolated populations, including by creating dispersal corridors. To ensure the corridors’ effectiveness, conservation efforts should focus on resolving the conflict between the jaguars and human communities.

Rangers protect 30% of the planet. They are critical to helping us reverse the twin crises of climate change and species extinction.  Renowned photographers are offering unique prints in support of wildlife rangers in the new #ArtForRangers online sale hosted by @global_wildlife_conservation, @naturalstate_org and @tusk_org on Artsy.  The pandemic has been devastating for rangers in Africa. Their salaries have drastically been cut, many of them have been furloughed, leaving wildlife and local communities vulnerable and unprotected.  Two dozen leading photographers are now stepping up to help by offering their incredible images to support ranger teams in Africa that have been most severely hit by the economic impacts of COVID-19. 100% of proceeds will be contributed to the Ranger Fund administered by @tusk_org to support rangers on the ground, providing a lifeline to their communities as well as iconic wildlife. All print sales will be matched by the Scheinberg Relief Fund to double your generous contribution.
