Sharks have roamed our oceans for 450 million years, yet 1/3 of all #shark and ray species face extinction. 🦈 MCF supports @SharkRayFund, investing in the policy and enforcement needed to reverse that trend. Healthy sharks mean healthier oceans! https://t.co/rA1k4yTHGq

When Oceans 5 began, global funding for marine protected areas totaled less than $1M. Today, it's grown to over $15M. Their grantees have helped secure the world's largest marine reserve in Antarctica's Ross Sea and advance protections worldwide.

The Cape Fear River is home to 500K people, fisheries, and birds. A proposed $1.3B port expansion puts 1,000+ acres of wetlands and regional water quality at risk. MCF and @NCCoastalLT, @selc_org @AudubonNC, and @NCCoastalFed are sounding the alarm. https://t.co/lklG91TQJ6

Stone crabs support a vital claw-only fishery across the Caribbean. The @CEIbahamas is training Bahamian fishers to use a method that encourages crabs to naturally release their claws, boosting survival and strengthening a fishery communities depend on. https://t.co/sJ2P6fBO3w

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! 🐢 Leatherback sea turtles have roamed our oceans for 100+ million years, but today they need our help. We're proud to support The Leatherback Project and conservationist Callie Veelenturf, whose research and advocacy are working to protect this species!

Eighty percent of Earth's species are still undiscovered - yet biodiversity loss is accelerating. Fortunately, MCF grantees are helping turn the tide. This #WorldBiodiversityDay, we're grateful for every partner protecting our planet. 🌍🌊

Restoring mangroves is only half the battle. Keeping them protected is the other. 🌿 @bonetarpontrust is scaling restoration across the Bahamas while advancing a No Net Loss policy to ensure future losses are offset by replanting. https://t.co/6stfclN5de

A proposed 100-mile industrial road through the West Susitna wilderness would cross 182 streams and open pristine fish habitat to large-scale mining. The Defend the West Su campaign, led by @wildsalmoncntr and @salmonstateak, is building a broad coalition to stop it!🌲🐻🦅

Forests across the southeastern U.S. are being clearcut for wood pellets burned as biomass energy. 🪵 We're proud to support the @selc_org as they fight Enviva's proposed mill expansion in North Carolina and challenge the European biomass subsidies fueling this destruction. ⚖️🌲

Healthy shellfish = healthy ecosystems. 🦪 Long Island's Peconic Bay scallop fishery has been in crisis since 2019, hit by a novel parasite. CCE Marine is working to restore it through disease-tolerant genetics & sustainable aquaculture. 🌊 Learn more: https://t.co/VqGqw3Bnzg

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, we celebrate billions of birds journeying across our planet. 🐦 Migratory birds signal healthy ecosystems, and MCF is proud to support @AudubonNC, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies & Fundación Avifauna in protecting birds and habitats.🌿

[Moore Charitable @MooreCharitable]

What if you could listen to a rainforest to protect it? 🎧🌿 Fundación Avifauna is launching Panama's first year-round acoustic monitoring system in the Gulf of Chiriquí — tracking birds, amphibians & insects to measure #biodiversity. Proud to support this work! 🐦📡

The Moore Charitable Foundation is saddened to hear of the passing of Ted Turner. While his storied legacy spans decades and his impact on modern media is undeniable, we cannot forget his passion for and commitment to conservation. https://t.co/hsfyz3wygj

Since 2002, @Panacetacea has been monitoring humpback whales in Panama's Gulf of Chiriquí. 🐋 In 2024 alone: 83 photo-identified individuals, 116 tissue samples, and the first-ever suction-cup tag successfully deployed in the study's history. https://t.co/NFtiBIV9mA

[Moore Charitable @MooreCharitable]

This May, we're celebrating #biodiversity — the web of life that sustains our planet. From migratory birds to humpback whales to forests, MCF supports the partners protecting it all. Follow along as we spotlight species and people at the heart of our #conservation work. 🌍🐋🐢
