The FAO's Rift Valley Fever Early Warning Decision Support Tool (RVF DST) is an innovative online platform. It strengthens early warning and response to Rift Valley fever (RVF), a persistent zoonotic disease in Africa. Built under the One Health framework, the RVF DST enhances real-time monitoring and multi-sectoral collaboration across animal, human, and environmental health.

By combining satellite data, climate trends, and field surveillance, the tool predicts RVF outbreaks up to three months ahead. This early insight allows farmers, veterinarians, and policymakers to take preventive action, protecting livestock, livelihoods, and lives. The RVF DST shifts countries from reactive response to proactive prevention, fostering resilient health systems and long-term One Health preparedness.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.

This video documents a Norwegian-funded project, a strategic partnership between Norway, FAO, and Jordan's Ministry of Agriculture, transforming agrifood systems and aligning with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It showcases how international cooperation modernizes the agricultural sector.

A unique participatory model involves 27 beneficiaries—Jordanians, Syrian refugees, men, and women—collectively managing 27 greenhouses. This fosters expertise exchange, diverse crop production, and market scale, empowering vulnerable youth and rural women. The project embodies FAO's "Four Betters" (Better Production, Nutrition, Environment, Life), ensuring sustainable development leaves no one behind.

This video showcases the Norway-funded "Transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems" project. A vital partnership between FAO, the Norwegian Embassy, and Jordan's Ministry of Agriculture, it strengthens food security and aligns with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The initiative reached over 1,700 beneficiaries, including rural women, youth, and refugees, empowering communities with investments and tools for lasting resilience against environmental and economic challenges.

The project reaffirms commitment to the "Four Betters" (Production, Nutrition, Environment, Life), urging continued transformation for Jordan's progress.

The FAO's Mating Disruption Programme, funded by the European Union and Sweden, supports Georgian viticulture. It reduces pest damage and enhances grape quality and food safety through pheromone-based pest control and sustainable vineyard practices.

This initiative helps wineries significantly cut chemical pesticide use, advance organic production, and strengthen environmental sustainability. It demonstrates how science-based solutions boost the long-term competitiveness of Georgia’s wine sector.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation. These efforts failed to slow us down.

Since Trump's second inauguration on January 20, we have filed 65 lawsuits. These actions targeted destructive policies, climate-killing fossil fuels, widespread chemical approvals, and the despoilment of vital ecosystems like the Everglades. We also fought corruption threatening wilderness areas and defended national parks from exploitation.

We are deeply grateful for your continued faith and anticipate more hard-fought battles and victories in 2026.

Despite a previously unknown jaguar sighting in southern Arizona, border-wall construction crews recently detonated explosions in Coronado National Memorial. This destruction impacts federally protected critical jaguar habitat, along with threatened Mexican spotted owls and the endangered beardless chinchweed flower.

Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity, who filmed the destruction, stated the wall "will fracture jaguar migration routes, choke genetic diversity, and wipe out natural connections." The administration waived environmental laws to accelerate this work, setting the stage for "long-term ecological collapse."
