Oh dear…
Fauna & Flora@FaunaFloraInt

The new #NCQG text is a huge backslide with references to nature, human rights and fossil fuels all stripped out. Net zero is out of reach without nature and the removal of text on climate-biodiversity synergies does not signal for the action needed to tackle the joint crises 1/3

🌊 Only 8.3% of the world’s ocean is protected, & just 2.8% is likely to be effectively safeguarded. To achieve 30% protection by 2030, a new report we supported outlines the urgent action needed. The future of our ocean depends on global action & partnership, see how we can achieve 30x30 as we gear up for #COP16: for-the-ocean.org/resources/

❗Only 0.2% of #MPAs in the EU 🇪🇺 were fully/highly protected in 2022! A new study found that 86% had low protection/permitted human activities (dredging, mining, and #BottomTrawling) highlights the urgent need for stronger regulations to achieve #30x30. cell.com/one-earth/full…

🚨 Scottish Govt is consulting on banning destructive bottom-trawl fishing in 20 marine protected areas. We need YOU to help us demand a bottom trawling ban in these MPAs. This is our chance to restore Scotland’s seas! ACT NOW 🐟🌊 👉act.oceana.org/page/155477/da…
