A 240-million-year-old #fossil of an #amphibian was found in a retaining wall in the 1990s. This significant find has now been formally named and described by #scientists at the @UNSW and the @austmus 🐸

The @UN has successfully transferred 1 million barrels of oil from a decaying tanker off the coast of Yemen, preventing an environmental & humanitarian catastrophe.

I urge donors to help bring this project to completion and remove any remaining threat to the Red Sea.

The lack of legal protections for large coastal #animals is leaving them, and their #ecosystems, at risk ⚠️

Minimizing human impacts could contribute to the #recovery of #reefs from #marine heatwaves. However, addressing issues such as #pollution and #overfishing alone won't be sufficient unless strong measures are taken to combat #GlobalWarming🌡️

Found only in the Gulf of California, #vaquita porpoises are critically #endangered. The International Whaling Commission says their #extinction is inevitable unless bans on gillnetting are better enforced 🐬

A crab that serves as a linchpin for the production of vital medicines stands to benefit from new protective standards. But conservationists, who have been trying to save a declining bird, that depends on it, fear the protections still don’t go far enough

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has decided not to add the #GreatBarrierReef to its list of sites “in danger,” despite overwhelming scientific evidence that suggests it’s at risk of another mass #bleaching this coming #summer

A #survey of 84 #coral ecosystems at 25 locations across the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian #ocean basins found #plastic debris from human activities in almost all of them, both shallow and deep.
