Fungi are neither animals nor plants; they are an independent form of life on Earth. Yet we remain largely ignorant of #fungi. An estimated 2,500,000 species; 90% yet to be scientifically described. 'Forgotten kingdom of fungi!' My @illuminemNews article bit.ly/3Mp99jT

Despite covering only 1% of the Earth, cities consume 78% of the world’s energy. By embracing integrated planning and design, cities could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 25% by 2050.
On Tuesday’s #WorldCitiesDay, let’s encourage cities to step up #ClimateAction.

The IUCN Urban Nature Indexes help cities identify priorities to better design and implement #biodiversity strategies.
