The ocean’s biggest mystery just got clearer! 🐋 Scientists at Ningaloo Reef saw a male whale shark give a female a love bite - a clue to how these giants find a mate. With males outnumbering females 3:1, this discovery is key to their conservation. 🔗 Learn more: www.frontiersin.org/journals/mar...

The more we look into the presence of harmful chemicals in our (plastic) products and in our bodies, the more we realise how complex the data we need really is. Open-access resources like this help bring all the relevant data together in one place so decision-makers can better prioritise.

Nearly three years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, families still urgently need protection and humanitarian aid. At the #Davos CEOs for Ukraine forum, Andrew Forrest joined President Zelenskyy and global leaders to reaffirm our support. #WEF25

Humanitarian aid is over-stretched and under-funded, but it’s essential for lasting recovery. Following the Gaza ceasefire agreement, we’re at #Davos with partners to discuss safeguarding humanitarian principles and ensuring the most vulnerable aren’t left behind. #WEF25

Mandatory human rights due diligence laws are key to accountability and fairness. Ending modern slavery shouldn’t be optional - it’s time for business and government to unite and act. #WEF25 #Davos

50 million people are in modern slavery, including 28 million in forced labour. But unlike carbon emissions, we lack consistent, transparent human rights data. A few good actors share data and act, while others profit from abuse. This must change. #WEF25 #Davos

Forced labour isn’t hidden - it’s overlooked. At #Davos, we helped launch the Global Data Partnership Against Forced Labour to tackle this crisis. #WEF25
