On Coral Triangle Day, June 9th, we celebrate one of the most biologically diverse marine regions on Earth. Known as the "Amazon of the Seas," the Coral Triangle is home to an extraordinary variety of coral, fish, marine mammals, and other ocean species.
On World Oceans Day we recognize the vital role oceans play in sustaining life on Earth. Covering more than 70% of the planet, oceans regulate the climate, produce much of the oxygen we breathe, support biodiversity, and provide food and livelihoods for billions of people.

Small-scale farmers manage some of the world's most important natural resources. Yet the environmental benefits they generate - from restoring ecosystems to protecting water sources and storing carbon - often go unrewarded.
Through CompensACTION, supported by the Government of #Germany through IFAD's ASAP+ programme, IFAD is helping change that. By expanding access to Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) mechanisms and carbon markets, the initiative is creating new income opportunities for rural communities while advancing climate, biodiversity and food security goals.
From cocoa producers adopting agroforestry practices in #Brazil to communities protecting critical watersheds in #Lesotho, CompensACTION is showing how aligning economic incentives with environmental outcomes can strengthen both rural livelihoods and landscapes.
With new pilots underway in #Ethiopia, the initiative is contributing to sustainable financing models that recognize and reward the role of small-scale producers as stewards of the environment.
