"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead, American anthropologist, 1901-1978
Around the world, there are many groups of committed people who are making sure wildlife have what they need to survive and thrive. Please find a group to join and be a part of their journey to help wildlife! If we all pull together, we can really power through change for the better.

"Sea ice serves as the earth’s air conditioner, helping to keep our planet cool. It’s also the basis of the Arctic marine food web and is used by Northern communities for transportation and access to food...It's important to work together to protect the sea ice that all of us rely on." Polar Bears International say Arctic Sea Ice Day is about learning all about sea ice and why it matters. There's a lot going on - find out all about it here.
The 22nd June is World Rainforest Day! And this year, the day is activating ONE MILLION Planet Walkers - people stepping into nature "to celebrate, protect, and reconnect with our planet". The theme in 2025 is #BreatheWithUs
Join in the journey across all 7 continents with an immersive, breathtaking livestream of forest walks. These are led by Planet Walkers such as indigenous leaders, scientists, rangers, and changemakers. They'll guide you through the most vital ecosystems on earth! Why not film your own walk through a forest and share it on social media as part of the day! Find out more about ways to help rainforests here.
Individuals and workplace groups can really make a difference and have an impact! And there's a great example coming from Australia with the Koala Clancy Foundation where groups of people have come together to plant trees and help koalas and other wildlife. And there's plenty of other things you can do to help as well - even if you don't live in Australia! Action has impact!
News from Argentina!
And we start off with the news from Tompkins Conservation that Argentina is celebrating the creation of the Patagonia Azul Provincial Park. This coastal-marine area is 729,000 acres, with 45,000 acres of coastal land that’s been donated by Rewilding Argentina. The Park is a key breeding, feeding and migration site but it’s been under threat because of industrial fishing. The massive no-take zone safeguards one of the most biodiverse areas on the coast. The Humpback and Sei whales, Magellanic penguins, sea lions, imperial cormorants and giant petrels are there, and you can find out more about the Galapagos of Argentina here.
Watch puffins in Wales!
