Thank you, Tom Hiddleston. I’m so glad to be here. Like Tom mentioned, my name is Dr. Vera Songwe @songwevera and I’m the United Nations Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Today I want to talk about the economic impact of a coordinated global response to #COVID19. A united global response is the key to a faster recovery and unlocks the potential for more equitable growth. Tens of millions of people around the world have already lost their jobs, and we need to keep that number from growing. If we don’t come together as one, we will have a “limping recovery” where some countries take off and the rest are left struggling. We’re all interconnected, so having one country lifting off and another lagging behind is not going to help any of us. To join us in fighting for a coordinated global response to COVID-19, demand action at @ONE ~ ~ ~ Please Wear A Mask & Follows Social Distance Protocols To Save Lives! #SocialDistancingSavesLives It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ExtinctionIsForever #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #CaptivityKills #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ #passthemic #oneworld (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHCslinPqQ/?igshid=9s3rcpql4erj

I have a big announcement: I passed my Inuit initiation and the Inuit now call me Nanoq - 'Captain of the Seas'. To not confuse everyone else, I am now officially known as Captain Polo! Stay tuned for my next adventure. What do you think of the cover? ~ ~ ~ Congratulation’s Captain Of The Seas! Excellent job on the cover!💞 ~ ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ExtinctionIsForever #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #CaptivityKills #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ 🌍Sharing Your Tips Helps Everyone Become #PlasticFree & #FutureReady !!! Join Us & Help Others, We Believe Together We Can Fight #PlasticPolution & #ClimateCrisis ⁣ Please DM your plastic pollution solutions! ~ 1-Stop using plastic straws, even in restaurants. If a straw is a must, purchase a reusable straw alternative.⁣ ~ 2-Use a reusable produce bag. A single plastic bag can take 1,000 years to degrade. Purchase or make your own reusable produce bag and be sure to wash them often! ~ ⁣ 3-Give up gum. Gum is made of a synthetic rubber, aka plastic.~⁣ ⁣ 4-Buy boxes instead of bottles. Often, products like laundry detergent come in cardboard which is more easily recycled than plastic.⁣~ ⁣ 5-Purchase food, like cereal, pasta, and rice from bulk bins and fill a reusable bag or container. You save money and unnecessary packaging. ⁣~ ⁣ 6-Reuse containers for storing leftovers or shopping in bulk.⁣~ 7-Use a reusable bottle or mug for your beverages, even when ordering from a to-go or coffee shop.⁣ ~ 8- Separate plastic lids from the bottles before putting it inside of the recycling bin!

Here are two jaguars tied up in a boat as part of a tourist attraction in #cancun Mexico 🐆 I’m posting this because I believe we all need to know about the thousands of cub petting operations that exist for big cats around the world 🌍 these places often offer us a chance to take a selfie 🤳 but what we don’t realise is that these animals will never be able to go back into the wild! Sometimes they are even traded for traditional medicine, illegal zoos or worse! If you get offered the chance to play with a big cat or a cub, remember to say no! ~ ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ExtinctionIsForever #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #CaptivityKills #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ Rg Credit: @stevewinterphoto Photo 📷 by @stevewinterphoto Follow @stevewinterphoto for more shots of the big cats we love in the wild 🦁 . . . . . #selfie #sayno #animalabuse #tigerking #wildlifeconservation #awareness #catsofinsta #catsofinstagram (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEvwXgnEB6/?igshid=1ju68ea6ymxf7

Posted @withregram • @youthwingwnps Primates are mammals that have comparatively larger brains, opposable thumbs and a sharp binocular vision. The order primate is the third most diverse order of mammals after rodents and bats. Indeed, there is a lot to learn. Hence, we dedicate this week to learn about primates! 🐒 ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ Rg Credit: @youthwingwnps #PrimateWeek #Primates #PrimateFamily #MonkeysandApes #ProtectPrimates #EducationforConservation #WNPSYouthWing (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1VRcRHcgU/?igshid=1lyp1e1dah7jl

Rainforests only cover 6% of the Earth’s surface, but are home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species. Rainforests consist of tall, dense jungles and have a hot, humid climate. Known as the lungs of the planet, rainforests provide incredibly important ecosystem services, such as absorbing carbon dioxide, stabilizing and maintaining climate patterns, filtering water, providing protection against soil erosion, floods and drought. They also produce an array of medicinal plants. They are a huge biodiversity reserve- in fact, they are home to half of the Earth’s wildlife and at least two thirds of its plant species! Rainforests once accounted for over 26% of Sri lanka’s land area, but today, sadly, only 2% of that is left. In our tropical rainforest of Sinharaja, more than 60% of trees are endemic. Sinharaja is also home to over half of Sri Lanka’s endemic species of mammals and butterflies! Rainforests are integral to the functioning of our tropical ecosystem- lets learn more about them and do our best to protect them! ~ ~ ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ ~ Rg Credit: @youthwingwnps #WorldRainforestDay #Rainforests #savethetropics #ProtectRainforests #ForestConservation #LifeonLand #SDG15 #YouthWingWNPS #EducationforConservation #WNPS (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1Tdzznd1e/?igshid=1nrgcglbytkay

This is so very sad! As COVID-19 has disrupted the lives of so many people around the world! Now It has unfortunately been used to tear down even more of the Amazon Rainforest! With hundreds of environmental enforcement agents sidelined by the pandemic, deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon has increased to its fastest pace in years— The season when clearing typically accelerates hasn’t even begun yet. Satellite data collected by Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research from August 2019 through March show 2,031 square miles of new clearings, nearly the size of Delaware. ~ ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ Rg Credit: @wsj & @paulo_trevisani (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcBShrHs7W/?igshid=1o761guebipm2

Extinction Is Forever!!! Will we able to put them back together again? . Some of the world’s largest, most spectacular and unheralded mammals are silently slipping away, species like musk oxen, Tibetan wild yaks, Patagonia’s huemul, Bhutan’s takin, Vietnam’s saola. Even Africa’s three species of zebras and wildebeest have suffered massive reductions over the last several decades. . The reasons for these losses are more than disease and habitat fragmentation, deforestation or wildlife trade, a team of researchers led by WCS's Joel Berger highlights in a new paper. Ultimately, the cause is rampant human population growth. And unless human behavior changes in unprecedented ways, these scientists warn that future communities of these mammals will never resemble those of the recent past or even today. ~ ~ ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisEducation #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ ~ ~ Rg Credit: @thewcs Read more via @thewcs bio about this so-called "Humpty Dumpty" effect. . . #endangered #wildlifephotography #actionshot #wildlife #rare #mountains #running #runningwild (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN9NvlHbiL/?igshid=1fw39am304d2r

US President Donald Trump has declared a "national emergency" to help the country handle the growing outbreak of coronavirus. The declaration - "two very big words", according to Mr Trump - allows the federal government to tap up to $50bn (£40bn) in emergency relief funds. There are 1,701 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the US, and 40 deaths. ~ It’s Our Planet...Our Responsibility!!!🐯💞♻️🌎 EducationForConservation.org #EducationForConservation #ClimateCrisisUpdate #ClimateCrisisKills #ClimateRisk2020 #ItsOurFuture #WiseWords #DoGood #Water #Live 🌍 ~ Rg Credit: @bbcnews #Covid19 #Coronavirus #DonaldTrump #US #Healthcare #BBCNews (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9sjNT7Hnxo/?igshid=1wvg0ioxqf1t5

😱Shark finning is the gruesome act that of slicing off a shark’s fins and dumping the body back into the ocean to slowly drown or bleed to death. . Fins from up to 73 million sharks end up in the global fin trade in a single year alone. Do your part and tell U.S. Congress to pass a #FinBanNow by following the link in bio.
