Meet the red knot, one of the greatest migrants in the animal kingdom!🐦
But their populations are in danger.
#ClimateChange damages their nesting habitats, reduces food availability & could make predators more likely to prey on birds on the shore.

#DYK that penguins use body movements to send & receive messages?🤔
They tend to communicate through a combination of vocal and visual signals➡️ typically emitting vocalizations and making body movements at the same time.🐧

Have you heard of the Pennant-winged Nightjar?🐦
The breeding males have extraordinary "pennants" extending from their wings. It is a #MigratorySpecies from Africa, found in many different habitats, breeding in wet savannahs and deciduous forests.

The land we depend on is under threat. 🍎⛈
Land degradation drives losses in agricultural production through:
🪨Erosion
🥀Soil fertility loss
☀️Salinization
💧& other processes
This is a real risk to food security.

What is soil fertility and how is it important?💭
Healthy soils sustain life. 🌿🌦️
But land degradation leads to, among other things, the loss of #soil fertility constituting a risk to food security.

Nature across most of the globe has been significantly altered by multiple human drivers, with the great majority of indicators of ecosystems and #biodiversity showing rapid decline.🥀
🪸And coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to #ClimateChange.
