How shark tracking data shaped Papua New Guinea’s ocean sanctuary

How shark tracking data shaped Papua New Guinea’s ocean sanctuary
-
We had a couple of interesting ecology and conservation seminars this week at #LincolnUniversityNZ. The first, on Monday, was by Lou Sanson, ex-Director General of the NZ Department of Conservation.
Lou is now involved in the 30x30 initiative to protect 30% of Earth's land area and 30% of its marine area. 30x30 is an international effort, driven by 122 of the world's countries, which have all signed up to be part of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People.
Lou gave a tour of some of the amazing projects happening around the world to protect the planet's wild places, as part of 30x30.
Is New Zealand part of this? No, of course not. We'd need a change of government for NZ to show leadership on conservation and environmental issues.
We do already have 30% of our land in reserves. Almost all of that is in the highest and wettest parts of the country, where English settlers couldn't farm. NZ hasn’t made a national park or a world heritage area in 25 years, and many of our reserves are struggling under pressure from pests and weeds. We have only 2% of our oceans protected.
We can do a lot better. As Lou concluded, “We’re seen as a world leader but we're not acting as a world leader at the moment.”

Top scientists call on Australian Government to allocate federal funding towards nature protection and management
"Australia is facing a nature crisis. We are the only developed country on the global list of deforestation hotspots, with 40% of our forests destroyed since European settlement.[ 19 Australian ecosystems are showing signs of collapse. And we are facing one of the highest species extinction rates in the world, with the overall state of our environment on a consistent downward trend."
"The continued degradation of nature will have significant consequences and economic impact on industries such as tourism, food production and agriculture. At least 49% of Australia’s GDP is dependent on healthy nature...We just need the political will. "

Die Beschlüsse der #Biodiversität #COP15 in #Montreal gibt es erst seit einem Jahr. Sehr wichtige Sache:
https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/forschung/wildnis-artensterben-100.html
Bei den Pariser Klimaschutzzielen von 2015 hat es auch erst einige Jahre gedauert, dass nach den Beschlüssen auch Taten folgten. Z.B. in den USA der #InflationReductionAct oder in der EU #GreenDeal bzw. #FitFor55

Private landholders control 60% of the Australian continent.
Many of Australia’s ecosystems are severely degraded.
Only 22% of Australia’s landmass is currently protected."About 60% of the continent is owned or managed privately – and 70% to 90% of inadequately protected wildlife is found mostly on such land, which includes farms, pastoral leases and mines."
"Through what legal mechanism can private landholders be engaged in biodiversity conservation? A conservation covenant is a legally binding commitment landholders make to restrict how their property is used."
"Existing covenants are generally used to protect high-value conservation land where ecosystems are healthy. Rarely are they used on degraded land needing restoration, such as overgrazed paddocks or former mining."

At #COP15 we must be the #OceanInTheRoom to:
🌊 Ensure leaders don’t forget that nature is also blue

The science is clear, we need to protect more #biodiversity to avert a crisis.
Countries cannot backslide on their commitments - #30x30 must include the ocean!🌊

I’m not attending #COP15, but if I had thought it important enough, I would be the #OceanInTheRoom to ensure that the #30x30 target is also blue. @[email protected] #BlueNature #OneOceanOnePlanet #NatureCOP15
