"Empowering Farmers to Learn and Produce Amid Uncertainties" highlights the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations' efforts, in collaboration with Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture and support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), to enhance resilience in farming communities in northern Ethiopia. The film features farmers and agricultural experts in Kalu Woreda, showcasing how the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach fosters hands-on learning and community-based seed multiplication.

Through local seed production and collective decision-making, farmers are improving crop yields and reducing reliance on external seed sources. Their experiences illustrate how farmer-led initiatives are enhancing livelihoods, building community resilience, and instilling hope for the future despite environmental and socioeconomic challenges.

The Global Partnership Programme for Transboundary Animal Diseases (GPP-TAD) is a country-led initiative aimed at enhancing animal health and sustainable livestock production. This program fosters shared responsibility and coordinated investments to strengthen global animal health systems.

This video presents GPP-TAD's vision for improving disease prevention, surveillance, emergency response, and innovative financing models. The FAO, along with key partners, will serve as a global convener, leveraging expertise and real-time intelligence to identify critical areas for action.

By mitigating systemic risks in value chains, GPP-TAD seeks to facilitate increased public and private investment in animal health and food systems. Learn more at FAO.

The Trump administration's changes to the Endangered Species Act have removed crucial habitat protections for endangered wildlife by redefining "harm" and rescinding the blanket rule that offered equal protections for threatened species. This rule, which prohibited actions that could kill or injure these species or destroy their habitats, was initially repealed in 2019 and reinstated in 2024.

We need your voice to urge Congress to restore these essential protections. This fight extends beyond endangered wildlife; it encompasses the environmental laws that safeguard us all. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of extinction, and we cannot save species without protecting their homes. At the Center, we are committed to defending our environmental laws and will not back down.

Endangered species need habitats to survive, yet the Trump administration has weakened protections under the Endangered Species Act by removing the definition of "harm." This change threatens the survival of over 1,000 species, including wolves, grizzly bears, and bald eagles.

The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting this decision in court to protect the Act and the species it supports. Without these protections, activities like logging and mining could more easily invade the last homes of vulnerable wildlife. Join us in this crucial fight by making a gift: https://biodiv.us/4f49LKq
