Industrial fishing, drilling, mining, warming and plastic threaten one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Only 3% of our oceans are properly protected. To protect at least 30% by 2030, governments need to sign and implement the Global Ocean Treaty⏬

Fox hunting is a barbaric practice that belongs in the past. It’s not a sport; it’s cruelty disguised as tradition.
