The #30x30 target is about so much more than increasing the coverage of terrestrial ecosystems under conservation.

30% of our #oceans under effective & equitable conservation is a critical element to achieving the target.

#MarineProtectedAreas #act30 #iucngreenlist @IucnOcean

The ocean is home to 250,000 known species & countless more awaiting discovery.

Yet, marine species face a triple threat of rising temperatures, acidification & deoxygenation.
