It’s hard not to be obsessed with coral reefs. 🪸 These vibrant underwater ecosystems are home to an extraordinary diversity of marine life — and protecting them is essential to a healthy ocean.

Four years ago, the world made a shared commitment to protect 30% of our planet’s lands and seas by 2030. As we enter the final stretch, Conservation International Executive Director and Chief External Affairs Officer Patricia Zurita shares why #COP17 is a chance to build on the progress we’ve made, and accelerate the solutions that can get us there. From investing in nature to rethinking harmful subsidies and supporting Indigenous Peoples and local communities, we have the tools to protect biodiversity and tackle the climate crisis together. The goal is within reach. Now is the time to turn commitments into lasting action as we work #TogetherForScience and for the future. #fyp #nature

When you pay more for sustainable seafood, who actually benefits? New research from Conservation International, in collaboration with CEA Consulting, Wildlife Conservation Society, and the Institute of Food Technologists, finds that price premiums for certified sustainable seafood rarely reach small-scale fishers. Findings from India, Indonesia, and the Maldives highlight the need for greater transparency and a fairer distribution of benefits across the seafood supply chain. We can work #TogetherForScience to find sustainable seafood solutions that protect not only our ocean, but also the livelihoods of the people who depend on it.
