Elephants are known for their remarkable memories. They remember individuals, places and experiences, sometimes for years.

So, on , we ask ourselves: what do we choose to remember?

Elephants like Suzi, Noor Jehan, Kaavan and Sonia became part of stories marked by loneliness, illness, inadequate conditions and loss. Their lives brought national attention to the complex physical, social and emotional needs of these highly intelligent, social animals.

But these stories have also shown us that change is possible. Kaavan found a new life in a sanctuary in Cambodia, while Madhubala was reunited with her sisters after 15 years apart, a reminder of the importance of companionship and species-appropriate care.

Their stories should not simply become memories. They should become lessons.

Let’s remember the elephants we have lost, recognise what they taught us, and advocate for a future where every elephant receives the space, care, companionship and dignity it deserves.

Remember them. Learn from them. Protect them.

This World Youth Day, explore how a generation for nature is taking shape.

From environmental education and youth leadership to restoration, advocacy and innovation, young people across Pakistan are already turning their concern for nature into action.

In our latest issue of Natura, read how WWF-Pakistan has spent over four decades building pathways that equip young people with the knowledge, skills and platforms to become changemakers for nature, and why investing in youth is critical to Pakistan’s environmental future.

Pakistan’s floods are not isolated disasters. They are a warning of what happens when climate risks meet years of unplanned development, weakened natural defenses, and inadequate preparedness.

From the catastrophic floods of 2010 and 2022 to the growing risks posed by extreme rainfall, urban flooding and water insecurity, Pakistan’s vulnerability is becoming harder to ignore. But the question is no longer whether another crisis will come, it is whether we will be prepared when it does.

On the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we recognize the invaluable knowledge, traditions, and stewardship that Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities contribute to the conservation of nature.

The Mohana community of Manchar Lake reminds us that healthy ecosystems and thriving communities are deeply interconnected. Their long-standing relationship with the lake reflects the importance of protecting both natural heritage and the people whose lives and cultures are shaped by it.

As floods continue to impact communities across Pakistan, wildlife and ecosystems are also facing significant challenges.

The recent rescue of a crocodile from a flood-affected area in Punjab serves as a reminder that rising waters can displace wildlife, alter habitats, and create new risks for both people and animals.

This article explores the often-overlooked environmental impacts of flooding, from displaced wildlife and threatened freshwater species to the role of floodplains, wetlands, and riverine forests in building resilience to climate change.

As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events, cities across Pakistan are facing a growing challenge: urban flooding.

Traditional drainage systems alone are often unable to cope with large volumes of rainwater falling within short periods. This highlights the need for practical, cost-effective solutions that not only reduce flooding but also strengthen water security.

As our cities continue to grow, integrating such solutions into public spaces, grounds, and other suitable locations can play an important role in building urban resilience.

Heavy rainfall is putting our recharge well to work.

Instead of allowing rainwater to become runoff, the recharge well helps channel it back into the ground, replenishing groundwater and reducing waterlogging. Nature-based solutions like these are a simple but powerful step towards building water resilience in our cities.

Every drop recharged today helps secure water for tomorrow.

As heavy monsoon rains continue to affect communities across Pakistan, bringing flash floods and rising river levels, the recurring impacts of climate-related disasters are once again highlighting the urgent need to rethink how we prepare for and respond to floods.

For generations, riverine communities lived with the natural rhythm of seasonal flooding. Communities in floodplains, locally known as katcha areas, practised seasonal, post-flood agriculture at a subsistence scale and traditionally moved to higher ground, such as embankments, with the onset of the monsoon season.

In this issue of Natura, civil society professional Naseer Memon reflects on why building more concrete structures alone cannot solve our flood and climate challenges. Steel and concrete cannot replace natural green cover, while development that disregards natural systems can increase our vulnerability to disasters.

As Pakistan faces increasingly unpredictable rainfall and extreme weather, restoring natural systems and working with nature, not against it, must be part of building a more resilient future.

As pressures on our oceans continue to grow, expanding and effectively managing Marine Protected Areas has become essential to safeguarding marine ecosystems and advancing global conservation commitments.

This Marine Protected Areas Day, we look at Pakistan's journey so far, from the designation of Astola Island to Churna Island, and Miani Hor.

Explore the timeline and learn more about Pakistan's Marine Protected Areas.

This World Rangers Day, we recognise the courage, commitment, and resilience of rangers who dedicate their lives to protecting Pakistan's wildlife, ecosystems, and natural heritage.

We also celebrate the growing community of women rangers who are breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and proving that conservation is stronger when everyone has a place in it.

At the WOW Festival Karachi, during the launch of Hidden Figures: Women Rangers in Pakistan, visitors shared questions for women rangers. This post brings you their answers, in their own words.

To discover more about the women shaping the future of conservation in Pakistan, read 'Hidden Figures' here:https://wwfasia.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/book-2-1.pdf
