In #Gaza, the solid waste management system has collapsed due to the war. People are living surrounded by piles of waste, causing unsanitary environments and a public health emergency. We are already providing essential support, including through the deployment of municipal waste workers and fuel monitoring, enabling the collection of 60% of waste in the southern Gaza Strip. But more support is urgently needed to scale up operations. Read more: https://go.undp.org/4Wo

Let's celebrate the incredible comeback of the tiger population! With tiger numbers up by 40% since 2010, our efforts with partners are making a real difference. Wild tigers have a crucial place in Asian landscapes and biodiversity, acting as both an umbrella and indicator species, protecting the wider ecosystem and indicating a healthy environment. Over the past 12 years, tiger populations have begun to rise in five countries – increasing for the first time in over a century. With effective, collaborative conservation, evidence shows tiger numbers can recover. As part of the solution, the Tiger Conservation Coalition (Environmental Investigation Agency, Fauna & Flora , IUCN, NATURAL STATE, PANTHERA, TRAFFIC, Global Environment Facility, Wildlife Conservation Society, Zoological Society of London (ZSL), WWF and UNDP) brings together leading biologists and experts in wildlife crime, human-wildlife coexistence, policy, finance, development and communications, with unprecedented alignment on achieving tiger conservation at scale. On #InternationalTigerDay, read about the comeback kitten and how we’re working with partners to secure their future: https://ow.ly/Xuij50SGIGX

Discover the inspiring story of migrants and refugees making headlines in Peru! Meet Javier and his partner Francisco who left Venezuela for Peru in 2015. They were searching for economic stability and now they run Patrón, a beauty business in the capital, Lima. Things took off for them when a client connected them with CREANDO, an online platform promoting entrepreneurship among migrants and refugees. Supported by PNUD Perú, CREANDO connects the private and public sector with refugees, migrants and local communities with the aim to strengthen the welcoming process through learning and empathy. Since 2022, the CREANDO learning community has supported 200 migrant and refugee businesses and enterprises. Fostering the economic integration of migrant and refugee people through connections with their Peruvian peers is crucial for their business ventures and quality of life. Only by facilitating access to opportunities and fostering mutual respect can the full potential of these communities be realized, contributing to the overall prosperity of the society they have joined.
