@WWFRiskFilter & @MSCI_Inc join forces to enable nature-informed financial decisions.
MSCI will integrate the WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter into its Products leveraging MSCI’s Geospatial data. This will allow FIs a spatially explicit analysis crucial for biodiversity stewardship.

Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.

Celebrating #WorldRiverDolphinDay? Dolphin-ately! 🐬
The #FantasticFreshwater Indus River dolphin can't see, so amazingly navigates using echolocation, as well as swimming on their sides, while trailing one flipper along the river bottom.

"Our salmon have returned home." Indigenous activists spent decades campaigning for dams to be removed on the Klamath River. Now they are celebrating as salmon are heading upstream to spawn. Some fish have made it all the way to creeks in Oregon. latimes.com/environment/stor…

Just weeks after the removal of dams restored a free-flowing Klamath River, salmon have made their way upstream to begin spawning and have been spotted in Oregon for the first time in more than a century. latimes.com/environment/stor…

For the first time in 114 years, biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have observed a fall-run Chinook salmon returning to spawn in the Klamath Basin in Oregon, after dam removal.

Magnificent - and critically endangered - Beluga #sturgeon poached in Bulgaria.
Wildlife crime is the greatest direct threat to sturgeon species in the Danube.
It's also one of the reasons why freshwater species populations have crashed 85% since 1970

On #WorldFoodDay2024 it's critical to remember that 1/3rd of global food production is linked to rivers - from irrigation, fisheries, deltas & flood recession agriculture.
But rivers are facing growing risks, threatening global food security.
