In my first days in office, we set the U.S.’s first-ever national conservation goal through my America the Beautiful initiative. The world is following our lead to safeguard at least 30% of global lands and waters by 2030. This is momentous for nature, people, and our planet.

Ontario stands in solidarity with Ukraine. In advance of the 1-year anniversary of the invasion, in partnership with Ukrainian Consul General Oleksander Shevchenko, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor curated a photographic exhibition entitled “The Year of Resilience.”

Historic milestone here: Nations have reached agreement to protect the world's oceans. Human activity has altered 66% of marine environment. Action to protect our oceans, marine biodiversity & livelihoods must now be immediate. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

#eDNA offers a powerful way to define #marine regions, long a vexing problem. Research using eDNA reveals seasonal and habitat-specific fish patterns, and that a few species dominate fish biomass, aligning well with traditional trawl surveys. bit.ly/48Njxvz #OceanScience
