It is not too late to apply for DEFRA Darwin Plus funding for 2027 to make strategic differences to the conservation of some of the world’s most delicate and complex ecosystems and endemic species in #BritishOverseasTerritories 🇬🇧

Out of this world! 🪐✨

As a special surprise during His Majesty’s last engagement in Bermuda, The King was shown a video message from Canadian astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen, filmed during his journey around the moon on Artemis II.

Colonel Hansen thanked The King for his well wishes and reflections on environmental stewardship, ahead of their historic mission. 🌒

In a bid to ensure space is safe and clutter-free, the UK Space Agency is launching “Project Nova” – installing five telescopes sites worldwide to track space debris and support international sustainability.

🇧🇲 Bermuda is the first of those locations – and this morning, The King officially launched the project.

In 2022, The King’s Sustainable Markets Initiative launched the ‘Astra Carta’ to act as a framework to inspire sustainability across the space industry.
