The new ecosystem profile was recently completed in preparation for CEPF’s second investment in the Mediterranean Basin Biodiversity Hotspot. Some 500 experts and stakeholders were consulted during the profiling process, which was led by BirdLife International.
The next installment of our occasional blog series, “Celebrating Biodiversity,” in which we highlight the conservation stories of specific species.
The Asian crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) is a bird so fundamental to Japan that it is mentioned in the country’s second oldest history book, Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan) written in 720. The beautiful bird species, known in Japanese as the toki, used to live across the entire country as well as in southeastern Siberia, central-eastern China and on the Korean Peninsula.
Though new species are regularly discovered around the world, the discovery of a mammal species that is new to science doesn’t happen very often.
When developing a project idea, there’s a lot to think about—the budget, timeline and priorities to name a few. Communicating about your project is often an afterthought, if it’s thought of at all. That’s a missed opportunity because sharing your process, challenges and accomplishments can help you make a much bigger impact and pay dividends for your organization down the road.
“To really effect change, your communications strategy needs to be planned from month one. Take it seriously and budget for it,” said CEPF Managing Director Jack Tordoff.
