Native American Heritage Month, celebrated in November, is significant for the environment because it highlights the deep connection Indigenous peoples have with the land, often demonstrating a long history of sustainable practices and stewardship, serving as a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting natural resources, and advocating for environmental justice issues faced by Native communities today. How to celebrate Native American Heritage Month: ??Learn about traditional ecological knowledge: Explore the specific practices of local Native tribes related to land management and resource conservation. ??Support Indigenous-led conservation organizations: Donate to or volunteer with groups working to protect sacred lands and water sources. ??Attend events focused on environmental justice: Participate in discussions and workshops addressing environmental concerns facing Native communities. ??Engage with Native American voices: Seek out information from Indigenous leaders and activists on environmental issues.

?? Happy World Environment Day! ?? Today, we honor the dedication and tireless efforts of conservationists worldwide who are committed to safeguarding our environment. Their work, often carried out in remote and challenging conditions, is vital for the health of our planet. At the Hempel Foundation, we are proud to champion these environmental heroes by fostering capacity building and knowledge sharing. ?? Last year, in collaboration with the Whitley Fund for Nature, we supported the Winner Network Development Program in Brazil. This initiative brought together #WhitleyAward winners from across Latin America, fostering an invaluable exchange of ideas and experiences. Listening to these conservationists' testimonials underscores a critical message: enhanced knowledge sharing among individuals and organizations can greatly amplify the effectiveness and pace of environmental impact. ? With this in mind, we are thrilled to support the continued commitment of the Whitley Fund for Nature to bring their partners together for shared learning. This year and next, we are funding their Winner Network Development Programs, bringing together extraordinary conservationists in other key regions. ?? A special thanks to our partner, Whitley Fund for Nature for their great work and thanks to IPê - Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas, for empowering conservationists and exemplifying organizational growth and development in Latin America and beyond.?? #WorldEnvironmentDay #HempelFoundation #WhitleyFundForNature #Conservation #Sustainability #capacitybuilding #knowledgesharing #GenerationRestoration David Emmett Cláudio Pádua Suzana Padua Pedro Fruet Fernanda Abra

?? Exciting News! ?? Azul, a pioneering Latino non-profit dedicated to ocean conservation, has just released groundbreaking results from their 2024 National Poll. This survey highlights the overwhelming support among Latinos for pro-ocean policies and candidates. Key Findings: - 80% of Latinos are more likely to vote for candidates supporting ocean protection. - 88% advocate for stronger measures against plastic pollution. - 82% support initiatives to end illegal fishing. - 72% favor banning offshore drilling in favor of renewable energy. - 81% back conserving 30% of U.S. land and waters by 2030. Latino communities across the U.S. are willing to bear personal costs to ensure a healthier environment, demonstrating a profound commitment to ocean justice. This includes paying more for energy and food to support sustainable practices. Azul’s Executive Director, Marce Graudi??, emphasized, “U.S. Latinos have a strong desire to vote for pro-ocean candidates and policies. Our poll indicates that Latino voters overwhelmingly support efforts to combat illegal fishing, end plastic pollution, and ban offshore drilling.” This data is a clear call to action for policymakers to listen to Latino voices and prioritize ocean conservation efforts.

???? Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today, we honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous communities around the world. This day is also a powerful reminder of the vital connection between Indigenous peoples and the environment, particularly in the stewardship of our most precious resource: clean water. Indigenous communities have long been guardians of the land and water, advocating for sustainable practices that honor and protect our natural resources. Clean water is essential for life, and its preservation is critical for both the environment and the health of future generations. Let’s celebrate by supporting Indigenous-led initiatives that focus on water protection, advocating for sustainable practices, and amplifying Indigenous voices in environmental conservation. Together, we can work toward a future where everyone has access to clean water and a healthy environment. https://lnkd.in/dQU6fVV8

Our ocean conservation colleagues at Azul today released their latest national poll findings about Latinos and their commitment to a healthy ocean. The poll found overwhelming support for pro-conservation policies and candidates from Latinos across the U.S., and a willingness to pay more in energy and food costs in order to advance ocean justice priorities. This reaffirms how highly Latino voters value a healthy ocean, for their families and for the future. It’s a clear reminder for elected officials everywhere to listen to their voices when making decisions about the issues impacting our ocean and coast. Azul continues to bring the Latino perspective front and center so that all of us can hear it. Many thanks to Marce Graudi?? and the entire Azul team for this important work.
