On #SharkAwarenessDay, we're thrilled to share WildAid’s latest survey revealing a significant 34% decline in shark fin consumption in Thailand over the past six years! This translates to an estimated 8.1 million fewer servings of shark fin per year. While these findings are encouraging, there is still work to be done to protect sharks and maintain healthy oceans. Continued efforts and increased awareness are crucial, especially with 56% of urban Thais still interested in trying shark fin at some point. A huge thank you to Thailand for choosing to say no to shark fin! Check out the full survey here: https://lnkd.in/gvtKKM-d

WildAid Thailand report shows a 34% drop in shark fin consumption since public awareness campaigning launched in 2017. An encouraging indicator of behavioural impact through the power of awareness & education, but so much more needs to change. #SharkAwarenessDay Sharks play a key role as top predators in marine food webs, and our ocean's critical life-support system. Sharks face serious threats such as changes in their ocean environment due to pollution and climate change, & particularly, illegal fishing for their fins. It remains crucial to enable effective conservation to protect sharks & ensure their role in maintaining ocean health & resilience which drives a sustainable economic future, with inter-connected benefits for people and nature. An effectively protected ocean remains essential for the health of the planet & ALL its inhabitants. #conservation #responsibleconsumption #impact https://lnkd.in/gix9ZiGc

The Important Shark and Ray Areas of the Central and South American Pacific The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) team recently began their endeavor to put sharks on the map. This innovative approach to place-based conservation takes inspiration from Important Marine Mammal Areas, Key Biodiversity Areas, Ecologically and Biologically Significant Marine Areas, and Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas. The first region to be investigated was the Central and South American Pacific: from the Gulf of California, Mexico, to the south of Chile. The aim was to define Important Shark and Ray Areas: discrete, three-dimensional portions of habitat important for one or more shark, ray, or chimaera species, that are delineated and have the potential to be managed for conservation. https://lnkd.in/eSRUfEVA IUCN IUCN Species Survival Commission IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group (SSG) Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs)

The simplest way to explain #100percentfish is probably these two different approaches to value creation; the #landfill approach where nearly all coproducts are wasted and the #zerowaste and #circulareconomy approach. We have an option! Iceland Ocean Cluster. 100fishbook.com

A workshop for HNV farmland methodology and its application in the West Balkan (WB) region was organized. 👉The main task of this workshop was to identify the CLC classes that can be considered HNV farmland (fully or in certain conditions), use of additional auxiliary information such as altitude, environmental zone etc. During this workshop some focus was given to identifying grazing share as it is a very important topic in WB region. An interactive session was organized where EAA staff showed different CLC Classes by altitude (DEM), environmental zone etc. for the entire WB region to give an impression of the distribution of these classes. The aim was to get an overview/feeling of the distribution of different CLC classes (important for the HNV farmland assessment) in the WB region 🍀

Imagine a world where we could experience the untamed wilderness—breathe the fresh air, see beautiful vistas, and drink pure water. And that land would be brimming with diverse wildlife. The Vital Ground Foundation is dedicated to preserving wild places and the ecosystems they support. To do this, they pour their efforts into conserving grizzly bear habitats. Why? Because grizzly bears are a keystone species, and their presence in an area indicates a thriving ecosystem. For 30 years, Vital Ground and its partners secured over 650,000 acres of prime wildlife habitat, but it’s not all connected. So, through the One Landscape Initiative, they’re working hard to connect some of this land to mitigate the risk of bear isolation and keep them and their land flourishing. We’ve developed a lasting friendship with Vital Ground because we share the same passion for land conservation. Discover more about Vital Ground at vitalground.org.

📣 Don’t miss the #FishersOfTheFuture event on 19 March‼️ In October 2023, the Commission launched the ‘Fishers of the Future’ foresight study, an EU-wide participatory project that will examine the future role of fishers in society up to 2050. The objective of this event is to engage stakeholders and the public in discussing the present and future of fishers and the sector. The event will focus on three topics: 🔹 Fishers’ current and future identity and roles in society. 🔹 Factors and trends influencing the long-term sustainability and profitability of the fishing sector and fishing communities’ well-being. 🔹 Challenges and opportunities resulting from interactions between fishers and other maritime actors.

Mining is always a conservation concern...
"This place is so quiet. It takes care of itself – and, that's a form of magic." A beautifully done video by the Conglomerate Mesa Coalition and Friends of the Inyo on the fight to protect Conglomerate Mesa, the area's limited water resources, and the thousands of plant and animal species that are threatened by large mining interests.
