💡 It is estimated that humanity is outside the safe operating space for at least 4 of the 9 planetary boundaries, including biodiversity. 🌳 In Europe as well, nature is facing serious decline, with threatened ecosystems and terrestrial and marine species and habitats at poor conservation status. On this International #Biodiversity Day, Meropi Klogka reflects on the next challenges for the protection and conservation of terrestrial and marine areas in Europe, in light of the upcoming institutional changes 👇 #IDB2024

Will #biodiversity be prioritised by the next European Commission? The EU needs to tackle the poor conservation status of #ecosystems but only days before the #EUelections, #NatureRestoration is still up in the air. Could binding targets backed up by financial support be part of the future policy equation?

The best time to conserve a species is when they are still common.
Migratory species are in trouble, which puts humanity in trouble. This challenge unites us all as #NatureKnowsNoBorders. The good news is multilateral conservation works. At #CMSCOP14 opening, I discussed how by working together, we can do even more: https://lnkd.in/dq24CZeC

100 New Deep sea species discovered Scientists have recently discovered a wealth of new #deepsea species off the coast of Chile, highlighting the immense biodiversity that remains unknown in our oceans. This discovery, facilitated by an #underwaterrobot, underscores the importance of marine exploration and conservation efforts. The Chilean government's proactive approach to ocean protection is a commendable model for other nations, as safeguarding these fragile ecosystems is crucial for the health of our planet. https://lnkd.in/eqyBmNdg

Excellent achievement toward preaching about our marine resources. This applicable brief should highlight how to implement Marine Spatial Planning (MSPs) which is one of the Saudi Vision 2030 goals to achieve in both the Red Sea and the Gulf.
The European Marine Board IVZW, an #OceanDecade Implementing Partner, has just released a new brief on marine habitat mapping that aims to inform policymakers, programme managers, research funders and the wider science-policy and scientific communities in the advancement of next-generation marine habitat mapping efforts. In this brief, you'll find the latest insights on: 👉 the crucial role of accurate and extensive marine habitat maps for achieving European and international goals for biodiversity, conservation, restoration and climate action. 👉 the science and policy needs to advance our understanding and documentation of marine habitats, from increasing the resolution of biological information to strengthening coordination mechanisms for interdisciplinary mapping efforts to fill critical gaps.

The #DeepSea covers more than 65% of the Earth's surface. These ecosystems are essential for regulating the climate, supporting the biological pump, and serving as biodiversity hotspots 🪸🐠 The Mediterranean deep sea alone is estimated to host nearly 3,000 species, contributing significantly to the region's total of 17,000 marine species. Join our efforts in protecting deep-sea habitats by supporting Oceana. It’s time to #DefendTheDeep!

🕰️It’s HELCOM Through History time! 🕰️ The third HELCOM holistic assessment (HOLAS III) provides a wide-ranging update on the environmental status of the Baltic Sea for the period 2016–2021. Five thematic assessments were released, covering the topics of economic and social analyses; spatial distribution of pressures and impacts; hazardous substances, marine litter, underwater noise and non-indigenous species; biodiversity; and eutrophication 🚣♀️ #HELCOMThroughHistory

🌍 On this International Day for Biological Diversity, we recognize the critical role of coral reefs in maintaining marine biodiversity. These ecosystems support approximately 25% of all marine species despite occupying less than 1% of the ocean floor. Coral reefs are not only biological hotspots but also provide essential services such as coastal protection and sources of livelihood for millions of people globally. As climate change and human activities pose significant threats to these vital habitats, ongoing research and conservation efforts are crucial for their survival and the preservation of marine biodiversity. Let's uphold our commitment to these ecosystems that are so vital to ecological balance and economic stability. 🌊🔬 #BiodiversityDay #CoralConservation #ScienceForOceans
