    🌍 At this year’s #IUCNCongress2025, a global coalition including Natureforall, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, and 17+ organisations from around the world is uniting to strengthen the bond between people and nature. 🌱 We're advancing Motion 128, which recognises that transformative change in conservation requires "a shift in values, norms and beliefs that recognise human-nature interconnectedness." We encourage all IUCN members to vote for this motion. ✨ This is how we transform conservation. 📖 Read the full motion at https://iucncongress2025.org/assembly/motions/motion/128 ...

    Today, on #WorldMaritimeDay, let's remember that every ocean voyage - from the smallest boat to the largest ship - leaves a trace. The ocean beneath our hulls is alive. Coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass meadows protect coastlines, sustain communities, and provide food and income to millions. Yet these fragile ecosystems can be damaged in an instant: one grounding, one dragging anchor, one careless mistake.That’s why the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN) launched “Navigate With Care: Protect Our Oceans.” This global campaign, endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade, aims to mobilize the worldwide boating and mariner community to navigate safely to protect themselves and life in the ocean. In honor of #InternationalMaritimeDay, we have released a video to help mariners understand how they can navigate safely to protect themselves and life in the ocean. 🎞️ Learn more about the video: https://livingoceansfoundation.org/navigate-with-care-video-premieres-on-world-maritime-day-inspirin…✍️ Take the pledge to #NavigateWithCare and commit to safe and responsible navigation: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/outreach/navigatewithcare/#pledge Let's #NavigateWithCare to chart a safer course for people and planet.#InternationalMaritimeDay2025 #protectouroceans #saltlife #boatlife #MindYourWake #unoceandecade #boating ...

    🌊 Join our next Navigate with Care webinar: Reefs are Nature’s AllyCoral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows do far more than support marine life—they buffer coastlines from storms, sustain fisheries, drive tourism, and keep waters cleaner and healthier. But these ecosystems are fragile, and every boat has the potential to impact them.Join us for the next installment of our #NavigateWithCare webinar series, where conservation scientists and maritime leaders will share insights on the many services these habitats provide—and practical ways mariners can protect them while navigating safely.Navigate with Care: Reefs are Nature’s Ally🗓 Thursday, October 16, 2025🕘 9:00 AM FJT / 5:00 PM EST / 11:00 PM CEST🔗 Register here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/… This free webinar is part of the Navigate with Care campaign, led by the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN), and endorsed as an Action of the UN Ocean Decade.Whether you’re a professional mariner, a recreational boater, or someone who simply loves the ocean, this session will show how responsible navigation protects both people and the planet.Can't make the webinar at this time?
