Fourth trip to the Gobi, and this one mattered more than ever. 🐫

Ikh Nart Nature Reserve is home to argali sheep, ibex, cinereous vultures, and snow leopards, but it's under pressure from mining, poaching, and desertification.

Our president Doug Bender was on the ground delivering new gear to the rangers who patrol this vast terrain, and joining scientists for a vegetation study tracking climate impacts.

With Earthwatch stepping back this year, ICF is stepping in, helping keep rangers equipped and science moving forward, increasingly powered by Mongolian university students. 🇲🇳

From 15 breeding pairs to over 660 oystercatchers — that's the kind of comeback that reminds us why habitat restoration works. 🌎

Our partners at Pronatura Noroeste have spent years monitoring and protecting Bahía de Tóbari, and the results speak for themselves: this bay is now the most important breeding site for this endangered oystercatcher subspecies in Mexico, and second most important across its entire range. Most of the birds nest on artificial islands built for exactly this purpose.
Conservation success stories like this don't happen overnight.

Huge congratulations to the Pronatura Noroeste team for this incredible milestone. 👏

🌍 Our 2025 Annual Report is here — and it's a story of hope in action.

This year, our partners showed extraordinary ambition. Our team grew alongside them. And together, we delivered real, measurable results in some of the most biodiverse — and most vulnerable — ecosystems on Earth.

Every page is proof that conservation works when we work together.

Today, on the International Day for Biological Diversity, we celebrate the beauty of Earth’s unfathomable diversity of life: the endless shapes, colors, sounds, and adaptations that make our planet extraordinary.

We celebrate the delicate interdependence of this web of life, where diversity means resilience, balance, and stability. Every species, no matter how small, plays a role in keeping ecosystems alive.

And we celebrate the conservation heroes working on the frontlines to protect biodiversity in some of the world’s most diverse and most threatened places: our incredible field partners and Indigenous communities defending forests, rivers, and wildlife every single day.

Let’s continue to protect and defend it together.

Thanks ton our board member for sharing this stunning with us.

Some people find their way to conservation through research. found hers through a lens. 🌍

From spotting a lilac-breasted roller in Africa for the first time, to spending months living in the Greater Kruger region — Chelsea's journey as a wildlife photographer has always been about more than beautiful images. It's about connection, awareness, and care for the natural world.

We're so thrilled to welcome her to ICF's board of directors. Swipe to see the wild through her eyes. →

We celebrate Earth Day.
They defend it.

🌎

From the Amazon to the Great Rift Valley, Indigenous peoples protect the ecosystems we all depend on — every single day.

Forests stand. Wildlife survives. The planet breathes.

Because they do.

Against the odds, some of Vietnam’s most endangered primates are still holding on. Recent field surveys confirmed red-cheeked gibbons and, for the first time ever in this area, black-shanked douc langurs.

Our partners at the Center for Technology and Nature Conservation .2019 are working on the ground with local communities and authorities to understand and protect these species and the forests they depend on.

They’re turning conservation into daily action: training rangers, equipping patrol teams with SMART monitoring tools, and tracking threats in real time.

Because protecting these forests doesn’t happen by chance.
It happens because people show up — every single day.

Learn more about these unique primates and the conservation heroes working to protect them.

This World Wildlife Day, we’re celebrating rewilding in action. 🐢

After 150 years of extinction, giant tortoises are once again roaming Floreana Island in the Galápagos.

Driven to extinction in the 1840s by whalers, the Floreana giant tortoise survived only through a small genetically related population discovered decades later. A targeted breeding program launched in 2017 has produced more than 600 hatchlings — and 158 juveniles have now returned to their ancestral island.

Together with conservation partners, .jocotoco helped make this historic return possible — beginning with the removal of invasive rats and feral cats to prepare the island for true ecosystem recovery.

Giant tortoises are ecological engineers. By grazing, dispersing seeds, and shaping vegetation, they restore habitats that support birds, reptiles, invertebrates, and endemic plants.

Rewilding works.

In 2025, the Shore Women protected a perfectly timed miracle.

Miles of beach restored, breeding grounds protected, and thousands of visitors guided to .

In 2026, the work grows.

More restored habitat. More trained women leaders. More education, science, and protection—right where migration depends on timing.

Join us and our partners in supporting the Shore Women and building what comes next. 🌊🐦

Together, we protect the journey.
