Did you know that -
🌎There are over 117 million lakes, covering nearly 4% of land.
🚰Although most freshwater is stored in glaciers and underground, lakes contain about 90% of the world’s surface supply, making them vital sources of accessible water.

It's Marine Protected Areas Day.
MPAs are effective in -
🐟Safeguarding biodiversity
🪸Protecting food security
🌻Building climate resilience
The world has pledged to protect 30% by 2030.
Sustained pressure, ambition, and focus are critical if we’re to achieve the #30x30 goal.

Today is #sharkawarenessday. Sharks are essential for biodiversity. Here’s how:
🦈 They regulate fish populations
🐟 They prevent prey species from overgrazing habitats
🌿 They protect coral reefs and seagrass beds
🌊 They keep marine food webs in balance

Nearly 50 years after Jaws, sharks still grab our attention.
Most people came away afraid. Some fascinated. A few, both.
Lose sharks, and we risk unraveling entire ecosystems.
It’s time to change the narrative and protect them 🦈⭐️🌊
