Antarctica is one of the fastest-warming regions in the world.
Unfortunately, “an inability to step outside rigid party positions” derailed talks to protect the region last month at #CCAMLR, according to @genevieve_pons and @PascalLAMYPPF. @DBPhilanthropy https://t.co/8llb0pEQGf
We’re at the 16th @UN biodiversity conference in Cali, Colombia.
Pew’s Francisco Solís Germani and Natalia Araujo explain how nations can work to protect biodiversity in the region and beyond. 👇🧵 #COP16#COP16Colombia
Should we be fishing in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean at all? The complete failure of #CCAMLR to keep basic krill regs in place let alone improve them or create #MPAs begs the ? Recent whale deaths highlight risks from Antarctica's booming krill fishery https://t.co/GfxviRl9im
The effect of rising temperatures in Antarctica has impacts far beyond the region.
@jacindaardern discusses why everyone must work to protect our Southern Ocean—and the rest of the planet—from a changing climate. #ClimateWeekNYC https://t.co/edQPlySc1I
"We must also work to preserve those areas that are deeply affected by climate change, including Antarctica and the Southern Ocean."
Former New Zealand Prime Minister @jacindaardern on establishing marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean as we work toward #30x30. #UNGA79
Right now, the @UN General Assembly is convening.
5 ways #UNGA can work to improve our ocean’s health:
📜 Advance the #HighSeas treaty
♻️ Tackle plastic pollution
⏸ Pause on seabed mining
�� Reduce harmful fisheries subsidies
🚫 Combat illegal fishing

In Antarctica’s Southern Ocean lives a small creature that needs protection: #krill.
But it faces threats from concentrated fishing and a warming planet.
What can be done to protect them & the species that rely on them?

It’s #WorldKrillDay 🦐 DYK? Antarctic #krill act as a giant conveyor belt, constantly moving carbon down from the water’s surface by eating carbon-capturing algae, then dropping carbon-filled poop at the bottom of the ocean. Today we celebrate this tiny but mighty crustacean!
Women, do you think it’s a GOOD thing that Tim Walz fought to make menstrual products available and free for every girl in Minnesota public schools?
Proving a point to MAGA.
🦐 3 days until #WorldKrillDay! We're counting down by hearing from top krill experts on why these tiny crustaceans are krill-tical to the #SouthernOcean ecosystem. First up is Dr. Rodolfo Werner, Senior Advisor with ASOC. Watch the video to learn more! 🌊 #Antarctica
👏🇧🇷🇨🇱Brazilian President @LulaOficial & Chilean President @GabrielBoric have jointly reiterated their commitment to create a network of marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean, including in the Antarctic Peninsula.
