Freshwater fish populations have collapsed by a staggering 81%. This dramatic decline is emerging as one of the most severe, yet often overlooked, wildlife crises on Earth, with serious consequences for both river ecosystems and global food security. According to a major 2024 global assessment, migratory freshwater fish populations plummeted by an average of 81% between 1970 and 2020. This collapse is happening far faster than declines in terrestrial or marine wildlife. The main culprits are human-made barriers such as dams and weirs that block ancient migration routes, combined with pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. These fish play a critical role in maintaining the health of rivers and wetlands. Their disappearance disrupts entire ecosystems, affecting everything from nutrient cycling to the survival of other species. For millions of people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, migratory fish are also a vital source of nutrition and livelihood. Their decline directly threatens food security and local economies. The good news? Recovery is still possible. Successful conservation efforts (including the removal of obsolete dams, the creation of effective fish passages, and the protection of free-flowing rivers) have already shown promising results in restoring fish populations and river health. The challenge now is to act quickly and at scale before these vital freshwater systems cross a point of no return. [World Wildlife Fund. (2026). Living Planet Report 2025: A System in Peril.

The frequency, intensity and duration of #ExtremeHeat events have risen sharply over the past half-century, with worrying impacts on agrifood systems and landscapes. Here are 6⃣ facts you need to know about extreme heat and agriculture🧵👇

🇦🇲🌍 Yerevan Declaration – Taking Action for Nature adopted in Yerevan On 16 October, at the conclusion of the plenary session of the Leaders for Nature Summit, the Yerevan Declaration – Taking Action for Nature was adopted. Adopted ahead of COP17, the Declaration reaffirms commitment to the implementation of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, including the mission to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 and achieve the vision of living in harmony with nature by 2050. Its central message is clear: move from political commitments to measurable action and tangible results. The Declaration emphasizes the mobilization of finance, ecosystem conservation and restoration, science and innovation, international cooperation, and the meaningful participation of different sectors of society. It also calls for a clear and results-oriented pathway at COP17 to accelerate implementation of the Framework and advance progress toward its 23 targets. The message from Yerevan is clear: it is time for action. #COP17Armenia #BiodiversityAction #ForAction #TakingActionForNature

🪰 Black soldier flies are a practical bioeconomy solution for food and agriculture. Their larvae convert food waste into high-protein livestock feed, while producing a valuable organic fertilizer. A small but powerful ally in the fight against waste!

Deepa had never been to Chennai before. She came for Save Soil's Agri-Startup event, found a seat in the fifth row of a hall of 5,000 people, and left that day knowing what she wanted to do with her life. ✨ → She turned recipes handed down through four generations of her family into Oormanam Foods, which now makes more than 100 traditional products → She has since trained more than 3,000 people in millets and food enterprise → Within a year, she was back with Save Soil as a trainer, helping natural farmers earn more from what they grow The recipes in your family's kitchen may be worth more than you think. Which one would you never let disappear? 👇 🌾 My Regenerative Revolution Deepa's story is only a glimpse.

Dhanalakshmi always believed in natural farming, but twenty acres in Coimbatore felt like far too much to change at once. For years, she had the will but not the plan. 🌾 → A single Save Soil training changed that, and she worked through the rest of the program one session at a time → Her farm now processes almost everything it grows, turning turmeric into pickle and coconuts into oil → The Save Soil coordinators she met along the way are still a phone call away whenever a doubt comes up Big change is really a lot of small decisions, made again and again. What's one you could make this week? 👇 🌾 My Regenerative Revolution Dhanalakshmi's story is only a glimpse.

Every time they sprayed pesticide, Kavitha and her husband paid for it with headaches, burning eyes and dizziness. Eventually they decided to stop completely, even without a clear roadmap. 🍚 → Save Soil trainings taught them to make natural inputs, and introduced them to farmers who had already made the same journey → Nine years on, beneficial insects have returned on their own, and the farm needs no pesticide at all → She now grows only native rice, and her customers write to tell her they feel better for eating it Do you know who grew the rice on your plate today? 👇 🌾 My Regenerative Revolution Kavitha's story is only a glimpse.

Priya once noticed tomato and brinjal plants thriving in a garbage dump, with no one looking after them. It taught her the lesson her whole life's work now rests on: feed the soil, and the plant will protect itself. 🌱 → She travelled from town to town rescuing vanishing crops, and built Seed Island, which now safeguards more than 1,000 heirloom varieties → She brought independent seed savers together to establish the Tamil Nadu Seed Collectors' Federation → With Save Soil, she trains farmers and home gardeners, and has shared seeds with more than 50,000 people → Her work has earned more than 100 agricultural awards, which she sees as proof that her methods work She dreams of a seed bank in every village.
