A paper in Scientific Data presents a novel global natural forest map for 2020 at 10 m resolution. This map can support forest monitoring or conservation efforts that require a comprehensive baseline for monitoring deforestation and degradation. go.nature.com/4remVIQ ⚒️ 🧪

This is figure 1. The global extent of natural forests in 2020 (according to the model, and based on the probability threshold of 0.52) with zoom-in examples (from left to right: Amazon Basin in Brazil, deforestation frontier in Indonesia, and boreal forest in Western Canada).

🪸🌡 Corals cannot outrun climate change New modelling shows coral reefs are declining much faster than they can expand into cooler waters. Without urgent cuts to emissions, there will be no safe havens for corals. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scia... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis 🧪 #Coral

Anthropogenic climate change will likely outpace coral range expansion

Coral reef range expansion takes centuries, and higher-latitude seas are therefore ineffective refugia for most tropical corals.

🌊 What kind of ocean do we want to leave to future generations? If a nine-year-old child can still swim alongside magnificent and beautiful creatures, there is still hope. But time is running out. Saving the ocean is saving our future. Speak up. Take action. June 8 🌎 #WorldOceansDay2025 #Oceans

A child in a wetsuit and snorkel swims in clear, shallow waters, closely observing a sting ray partially buried in the sandy seabed. The scene captures a calm and curious underwater encounter in a natural marine environment, evoking the connection between childhood and ocean biodiversity. In the background, shells, algae, and scattered marine debris can be seen on the sand.

🌊 ¿Qué océanos queremos legar a las próximas generaciones? Si un niño de nueve años aún puede nadar con criaturas asombrosas, todavía hay esperanza. Pero el tiempo apremia. Salvar los océanos es salvar nuestro futuro. ¡Hazte oír! ¡Actúa! Junio 8 🌎 #DiaMundialdelosOceanos #WorldOceansDay2025

Un niño con traje de neopreno y snorkel nada en aguas claras y poco profundas, observando de cerca una raya moteada parcialmente enterrada en el fondo arenoso. La escena captura un encuentro submarino tranquilo y curioso en un entorno marino natural, evocando la conexión entre infancia y biodiversidad oceánica. Al fondo se distinguen conchas, algas y restos marinos dispersos sobre la arena.

España fue el primer país de Europa en ratificar el Tratado Global de los Océanos. Con esto se asume el compromiso de declarar área protegida un 30% de la superficie de alta mar antes de 2030. En España, y el Mediterráneo, las Islas Baleares destacan como un referente en conservación marina.

The value of a marine protected area goes beyond economics, like fish biomass or tourist visits. It also lies in its natural essence: the beauty of the seascape, the sound of waves, and moonlight reflecting on the sea. These elements shape identity, well-being, and our bond with the ocean. #EqualSea
