Meet the one of a kind Hexabranchus sanguineus, aka Spanish dancer! 💃🏽 With only 20% of the ocean explored, we still have so much to discover. But did you know that this vibrant sea slug for instance isn’t just eye-catching? It plays a key role in ocean ecosystems by feeding on sponges, preventing overgrowth, and releasing nutrients that sustain marine life. But its habitat is under threat. So, how do we keep this dancer dancing? UNESCO is connecting global and grassroots ocean conservation projects through its UNESCO Green Citizens initiative, and as of today, 29% of citizen-led projects focus on protecting our oceans! Together, let’s take action to safeguard our marine world for future generations. Want to learn more? Visit the #UNESCOGreenCitizens website and start supporting a project: https://lnkd.in/ek2H34dF
