Our warming planet is making many places more vulnerable to extreme weather and thus, more expensive.

At #COP30, thousands marched to protect Indigenous lands. Inside, Brazil recognized new territories long overdue for communities threatened by ranchers and loggers. These biodiverse lands sustain us all, yet many Indigenous voices remain excluded.

Manta rays are vital to our oceans, carrying nutrients between offshore feeding grounds & reefs. Yet the giant manta ray was classified as 'Endangered' by @sscmarine.bsky.social, due to targeted fisheries, the gill plate trade, and climate-driven habitat loss. We must protect these gentle giants!
