🏞️ Each month, the list of protected and conserved areas grows longer, bringing us closer to the global goal of conserving 30% of the planet by 2030. @protectedplanet experts unpack what we know about the effectiveness of these networks 🔗 tinyurl.com/yy822e4w

The world has reached an important milestone: 10% of the ocean is now protected. In just two years, countries have added 5 million km² of protected ocean. That’s real progress. But this isn’t the finish line … The next challenge isn’t just protecting more ocean - it’s protecting it well. info.iucn.org/4c0AK6I @protectedplanet @unepwcmc
