Ahead of #COP30 in Brazil 🇧🇷 we'll hear a lot about the importance of mangroves.

But will global leaders back those convictions up with action?

Rare Brazil VP Monique Galvão says empowering frontline communities is central to the solution.

We loved reading this incredible piece on community resilience in fishing communities across the Philippines on @cnn.com (and seeing one of our Fish Forever Champions, Ka Dodoy, featured!). Give it a read below! www.cnn.com/interactive/...

Threatened by supercharged storms and rising oceans, Filipino fishing communities are fighting for their lives

Climate change and environmental destruction are putting the future of fishing at risk in the Philippines. But coastal communities are fighting back and trying to preserve the industry for generations...

Regenerative agriculture combats climate change and restores the soil, biodiversity, and water systems our food system depends on – all while centering the farmers who steward that change.

Explore how Rare is helping shape regenerative agriculture into a new social norm.

A quote card from the Vice President of Rare Colombia, Monica Varela, which says, "Regenerative agriculture holds global potential, not only to restore degraded lands and capture carbon, but to transform food systems, empower rural communities, and build resilience in the face of climate change."

DYK 40% of the global fish catch is by small-scale fishers - fishers like Ta Alo in North Buton, Indonesia. And virtually all of it goes to feeding people.
