Marine heatwaves in 2023 and 2024 killed 84% of fire coral colonies around St. John in the US Virgin Islands, causing the collapse of a species that had previously been considered a hardy “winner” that could handle thermal stress. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/XiSh50Xx2t8

Animals know things — important things! — and we must conserve their ability to pass these lessons down through generations, or their ways of living will fade away.
Here we propose adding an 11th criterion to UNESCO’s framework to protect animal cultures—habitat protection alone isn’t enough. Excited to collaborate with philosophers @merikatariina.bsky.social & @birchlse.bsky.social on this!

Protecting animal cultures as World Heritage - Nature Sustainability
It is becoming increasingly clear that animal cultures have intrinsic, irreplaceable value, and yet they are not adequately protected by preserving habitat. The time has come for UNESCO to explicitly protect non-human cultural heritage alongside human heritage.
