As it stands, only 12% of the #Ocean will be protected by 2030. The latest Ocean Protection Gap Report identifies the major actions needed to put the world on track for 30x30, noting the opportunity presented by the implementation of the #HighSeasTreaty. shorturl.at/dQXoE
A graphic from "Together for the Ocean" shows two bar charts comparing land and marine protection. One chart highlights over 30 countries with at least 30% of land protected. The other indicates only 16 countries reporting the same for marine and coastal areas. Text emphasizes the need for governments to accelerate ocean protection efforts.

Zudem ist das Zitat zu sehen: "Die deutlichen Zugewinne für politische Kräfte, die Menschen ausgrenzen, Vielfalt infrage stellen und gesellschaftliche Gruppen gegeneinander ausspielen, sind ein alarmierendes Ergebnis der Landtagswahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Berlin. Als Sportverein erleben wir jeden Tag, was entstehen kann, wenn Menschen zusammenhalten. Deshalb werden wir nicht schweigen, wenn dieses Miteinander unter Druck gerät: Wir stärken all jenen den Rücken, die sich für Demokratie, Vielfalt und Weltoffenheit einsetzen und werden auch weiterhin dort widersprechen, wo Menschen ausgegrenzt werden.

So far, about 10% of the ocean has formal protection as countries work toward the 30x30 goal, but many areas are still protected on paper only.
