🤯 85% decline in freshwater biodiversity since 1970. My heart is heavy today. Today’s #LivingPlanetReport is stark. But it’s when I think about what they really mean that my anxiety rises… 🧵👇🏻

[1/2] Great news for 🐋&🐬 from the #Azores, a #cetacean hotspot in the #Atlantic that is part of #Portugal 🇵🇹They approved establishing 287,000 sq km of #MarineProtectedAreas, making this the largest #MPA network in the #NorthAtlantic.

Check out this exciting, fully-funded #PhD project with Clive Trueman (clivetrue.bsky.social), co-supervised by me and colleagues at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 exploring field metabolic rate across global latitude gradients. Details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/f…

CCAMLR 43 has closed and we are disappointed to report that not only has CCAMLR failed to take action on its commitment to create a representative system of MPAs, the Commission has also taken a substantial step backward on krill fisheries management. asoc.org/news/southern-…

🚨Today the African Penguin has been uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN, just one short step away from extinction in the wild. It’s simple, the longer we wait the more we lose. 🐧 Uplist report: tinyurl.com/3yfaabu9 Petition: tinyurl.com/2pdf32ke
