    🌱 Restoring Mangroves, Strengthening Communities 🌍Mangroves are coastal lifelines—protecting shorelines, supporting marine biodiversity, and storing carbon. Yet, these vital ecosystems are disappearing at an alarming rate. At the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, we are working to restore mangrove forests while empowering local communities to be part of the solution.🌿 Community-Led ConservationThrough our J.A.M.I.N. program (Jamaican Awareness of Mangroves in Nature) and other restoration initiatives, we work directly with students, educators, and local organizations to teach the importance of mangroves and equip communities with the skills to protect them.Mangroves are powerful nature-based solutions to climate change and coastal resilience. Together, we can restore these forests and safeguard our future.📖 Learn more in our Annual Report: https://livingoceansfoundation.org/reflecting-on-a-year-of-impact-the-2024-khaled-bin-sultan-living-…#ScienceWithoutBorders #NatureForAll #mangroverestoration ...

    🌍 Advancing Ocean Conservation on the Global Stage 🌊This past year, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation strengthened its role as a global leader in ocean conservation, engaging with international partners to drive meaningful change. Through our participation in major global forums, we advanced efforts to protect, preserve, and restore the health of our oceans.✅ At COP29 in Baku, our President, HRH Princess Hala bint Khaled bin Sultan, spoke on a panel about empowering marginalized communities through climate resilience, emphasizing the role of natural ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs in coastal protection.✅ At COP16 in Riyadh, we launched the Arabic edition of our Reefs at Risk Activity & Coloring Book and showcased winning artwork from our Science Without Borders® Challenge, highlighting the importance of mangroves in conservation efforts.✅ At the Fourth Foundations Dialogue in Rio de Janeiro, we joined over 30 philanthropic organizations as part of the UN Ocean Decade, exploring how strategic collaboration can advance ocean science and conservation.✅ At the IUCN Conservation Forum, we contributed to global discussions on marine conservation and continue to play an active role in IUCN’s conservation strategy, supporting a long-term vision for a nature-positive future.By fostering collaboration, education, and engagement, we are amplifying our impact on a global scale. Together, we can drive solutions that protect both ocean ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.📖 Learn more in our 2024 Annual Report: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/reflecting-on-a.../#LivingOceans #OceanConservation #ClimateResilience #IUCN #COP29 #COP16 #UNOceanDecade #Mangroves #CoralReefs ...

    🌊 Advancing Science for Coral Reef Conservation 🌎🐠In 2024, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (KSLOF) worked with our partners around the world to tackle the urgent threats facing coral reefs. Our science-driven approach is helping to shape the future of reef conservation.🔬 Coral Reef Modeling & Remote SensingCollaborating with the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, we developed scalable biodiversity monitoring methods using remote sensing—paving the way for non-invasive reef health assessments.🤖 AI-Powered Reef MonitoringWith Scripps Institution of Oceanography, we are aiding their efforts to improve machine learning tools that now analyze coral reef imagery with 90% expert-level accuracy—empowering local communities with efficient, cost-effective monitoring solutions.🚀 Mapping the World’s Coral Reefs with NASABy sharing our coral reef maps from the Global Reef Expedition, we’re helping NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration create high-resolution habitat maps using satellite imagery—a game-changer for large-scale reef conservation.🌏 Global Conservation EffortsWe contributed to marine protected area planning in the Chagos Archipelago, supported reef monitoring in Fiji, and expanded conservation efforts in the Red Sea through key partnerships with CORDAP and SRSA.📖 Learn more about how we are using science to advance coral reef conservation in our 2024 Annual Report: https://livingoceansfoundation.org/reflecting-on-a-year-of-impact-the-2024-khaled-bin-sultan-living-… ...
