[IUCN @IUCN]

The world has reached an important milestone: 10% of the ocean is now protected.

In just two years, countries have added 5 million km² of protected ocean. That’s real progress. But this isn’t the finish line …

The next challenge isn’t just protecting more ocean - it’s protecting it well.
