The Juneteenth Joy event in Hyde Park last week was a powerful tribute to resilience, freedom, and community spirit—a true celebration of Black joy! We were honored to both sponsor + actively participate in Juneteenth Joy, a celebration organized by our community partner, the West Fairmount Hill Community Group. Aquarium staff showcased a visual art expo from Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs that featured a diversity of climate heroes as seen through the creative eyes of teen students. Team members also shared coloring pages courtesy of Black in Marine Science, and engaged with attendees by providing information about our work to ensure a vital and vibrant ocean for future generations. Thank you to our valued partners and all who attended! #HappyJuneteenth #Juneteenth #JuneteenthJoy

Watch this excellent short film about the Grand Canyon, one of the Wonders of the World, and Indigenous people who have ancient and sacred ties to the canyon.
Today Grand Canyon National Park turns 105. Listen and learn from Native people whose ancestors inhabited what is now Grand Canyon National Park long before the park service existed, and who continue to live, work, and honor deep cultural ties here today. https://lnkd.in/e_6WajCj

Champion of science, sustainability and climate action. Global leader in marine strategic advice, research and capacity building. BCorp business. Individual ecological footprint of 1.9 planets
The vast majority of people care about the Great Barrier Reef. Surveys showed 86% of Australians were proud that the Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage Area, and most agreed that it was the responsibility of all Australians to protect it (81%) (JCU 2016). Did you know people are generally more philanthropic toward the end of their lives, when they tend to have more savings, time, and motivation to help others. (Giving peaks at ages 61-75, when 77 percent of households donate, compared to just over 60 percent among households headed by someone 26-45 years old.). A smart move is to share with peak individuals Jonathan Womersley John Tanzer Lachlan Wilkinson Patrice Brown Paul Hardisty Ove Hoegh-Guldberg Bill Haylock Simon Molesworth AO, KC Tor Hundloe Russell Reichelt and encouraging them to make a gift and encourage others.

DAY 6- the final individual action is to 'Give time and money to things you care about' with Paul Hardisty. We support MOUA / Museum of Underwater Art, Australian Marine Conservation Society, Reef Check Australia, Great Barrier Reef Foundation, iNaturalist, Citizens of the Reef, Reef Restoration Foundation, Australian Citizen Science Association, MangroveWatch, Reef Life Survey, Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and many other NFPs and social enterprises that are helping with time and money through collaborations and projects because we care. Today I ask these organisations who they support and who supports them how to show the importance linkages of community, business and our planet.

Carla Dartis, MSC's Executive Director, beautifully captures the essence of the Historic Clayborn Temple, describing it as "a living archive, a tangible reminder of the struggles and sacrifices that have shaped our collective journey toward justice."

The stories held within the temple's walls offer a profound look back at the challenges faced by those who came before us, while also highlighting their unyielding determination for a fairer world. It stands as a guiding light for our shared ambition to foster a society where inclusivity and justice prevail. 🔗 Delve deeper into the Clayborn Temple's pivotal role in our history and its enduring influence on our present and future.
