Title, journalist’s name, headline, photograph of Great Bear Sea, and first paragraphs from a news report about the Canadian federal government’s nature conservation strategy

Canada's federal government released a new nature strategy this week. I Singh reports the strategy’s approaches could boost #conservation in Canada & reduce the burden on the government alone to meet #30by30 goals. Focusing on private sector support entails risks, however www.cbc.ca/news/science...

We discussed the coming into force of #BBNJ Agreement as an important step in conservation and a key piece towards reaching #30By30.

国連FAOの「生物多様性と農業食料システム」コースを修了しました！

私たちが食べることは、地球の生態系の一部になること。
かつて野生だった種が、今こうして私達の命を支えてくれている奇跡。

単一栽培で「効率」を追う時代から、多様な種と共生し「強靭さ（レジリエンス）」を育む時代へ。ITの知見も、食育の活動も、すべては一つの青い地球を次世代に繋ぐために。

「知る」ことは、希望の種を蒔くこと。
認定バッジを胸に、今日からまた新しい循環を創り出していきます 🌱✨

🌿 19 targets are making some progress but this is insufficient, relating to things such as #30by30, halting species extinction, gender equality in biodiversity action - pretty fundamental parts of conservation if you ask me!

Thanks @hacfornandp.bsky.social for good ☎️ how to move the needle on 🌊 #30by30 🪡🧵.
Looking forward to your 2026 Rapid Deployment Mechanism. Also added you to 🌊 funders starter pack 👇 #OceanGrants 💶🌊

Paper alert: Rethinking 🌊 #30by30 re 🎣.

Thanks for checking! For KMGBF Target 3, we use #30x30 as the primary hashtag, as it’s the globally recognized shorthand for conserving 30% by 2030.

#30by30 is also used in some national contexts, but for global consistency we recommend #30x30.

Asking right at the source:
Is the right hashtag #30by30 or #30x30 @unbiodiversity.bsky.social & @astridschomaker.bsky.social?

N.L. terminates MOU that could have seen south coast fjords become conservation area | CBC News The Progressive Conservative government is tearing up a memorandum of understanding that could have created a National Marine Conservation Area on the south coast of Newfoundland.

@govnl.bsky.social has turned down the proposed South Coast Fjords Marine Conservation Area. This is a huge drawback for Canada's #30by30 conservation target.

MCAs benefit both the ecosystem AND the economy, rather than hindering them. More info here: lnkd.in/eZeqVfv8

Thank you #IEPAW for this thorough consideration of the challenges facing Wales’ SSSIs, and recommendations to improve their monitoring, management and protection. Delivering on these must be an urgent priority for #WelshGovernment to achieve Wales’ #30by30 ambitions.

👇 is one of the rare opportunity to join @blueactionfund.org to do high impact investments in #OceanOptimism and #30by30 🐟🌊🎉🪸🐬. Both positions are based in Berlin.

With close to 10% coverage, some progress towards 🌊 #30by30 was made (in 2025, largely thanks to 🇬🇫).
In order to reach the goal, we need to designate each day 40,000km² as MPAs - roughly the size of 🇨🇭. Not to mention effective management.

The fast-fix for global warming that the UN climate summit can’t ignore Removing so-called ‘short-lived climate pollutants’ from the atmosphere could reduce global warming – fast.

Time to focus on the “sprinters’ of global warming? Will the aggressive cuts to slow global warming by mid century be made? Can #30by30 be achieved?
