"A study published in the journal One Earth explores how marine biodiversity conservation, human health and well-being are connected. The results suggest that marine protected areas can be good for both planet and people. These areas of the ocean are legally recognized by governments as being important for marine conservation. They are protected by putting limits on human activity within and around them. Once a government declares a marine protected area, you usually can't live in it, fish, build a beach resort, start a fish farm or drill for oil in it. The rules vary from place to place, but the idea is to allow nature to flourish by limiting human activity as much as possible." #oceanhealth #humanhealth

How marine protected areas boost human health By Andrei Ionescu - Earth.com staff writer November 04, 2024 A comprehensive review study has recently investigated the vital connections between marine biodiversity conservation, human health, and well-being. According to the experts, marine protected areas (MPAs) not only support ecological balance but also provide tangible benefits for people, underscoring their dual importance. https://lnkd.in/e2hh666S

Report reveals how the state of our oceans is intrinsically linked to human health Physics.org 11/3/24 A study published in the journal One Earth explores how marine biodiversity conservation, human health and well-being are connected. The results suggest that marine protected areas can be good for both planet and people. Researchers found that, for 234 marine protected areas across the world that have been closely monitored, more than 60% showed improvement in both nature conservation and human well-being. Sustainable-use marine protected areas provide co-benefits to human nutrition: https://lnkd.in/edsrViQe

We are driving international efforts to protect nature 🌳 From the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use to the Independent Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits, our efforts will channel billions of pounds into vital protection and conservation initiatives 👇 #ClimateChange #Nature

CFES #PartofThePlan International Day for Biodiversity 2024 We contribute to offsetting negative impacts on biodiversity due to development activities through Community Based Forest Conservation. The protection of pangolin habitat in the Durian Rambun Village Forest, under the Ecosystem Services Incentive Program to Support Community-based Forest Conservation, is a testament to CFES' role in biodiversity restoration. The International Day for Biodiversity campaign is the perfect opportunity to maintain momentum to protect and restore nature, prosper nature, share benefits equitably, and invest and collaborate for nature. CFES will continue to strive to not only maintain momentum, but also be #PartofThePlan for change. #BiodiversityDay #PartOfThePlan #ForNature UN Biodiversity

Trees for Biodiversity Forests are home to 80% of the planet’s terrestrial species. Protecting trees is protecting life itself. Let’s work towards SDG 15: Life on Land by advocating for biodiversity conservation. 🦜 What steps can individuals take to protect our forests? #Biodiversity #LifeOnLand #TreeConservation

How do you ensure that Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) being developed by countries looking to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 will actually provide meaningful conservation benefits? You rely on independent analysis! Researchers led by our partner Marine Conservation Institute analyzed the quality of the 100 largest MPA's around the world and found shocking results— The report found that only one-third of global MPA coverage provides adequate biodiversity protection. Over ONE-THIRD of the area within these largest 100 MPAs allows highly impactful activities, such as industrial fishing. It is an important reminder that numbers without context cannot tell a full or accurate story. We have officially added this vital analysis into our 30x30 Progress Tracker, and invite anyone looking for transparency around ocean biodiversity action to explore and provide feedback on this new data layer.

🌾 Overcoming policy barriers for biodiversity conservation on private land is crucial. At the Envision Biodiversity Project, we collaborate with key organizations to advocate for policy changes and showcase the benefits of private land conservation. Together, we can accelerate conservation efforts and create a more sustainable future for all! 🌏 #PolicyAdvocacy #PrivateLandConservation #SustainabilityMatters

Wetlands & water bodies, big or small, play an important role in biodiversity conservation. This small water hole is a perfect example. Check out the different species it supports. #wetlands #biodiversityconservation #wildlifeconservation

Protecting biodiversity protects Cayman. All of the many native plants and animals that make up the Cayman Islands are essential to helping both us and our islands thrive. The National Conservation Act outlines how we can legally protect local biodiversity by ensuring it is at least considered before we make decisions with irreversible impacts. Because when biodiversity thrives, we thrive too. #ConservationKY #CaymanConscious #CaymanConservation #BiodiverseCayman
