Great #ocean news from @thewcs: Today, Papua New Guinea has announced over 16,000 km2 of new marine protected areas in New Ireland Province, more than tripling ocean protections across the country
The massive, community-led process took nearly seven years and involved over 9,000 people from more than 100 Indigenous communities who all helped design the new ocean protections
The two new nearshore MPAs are a major win for Papua New Guinea, Indigenous Peoples, and critically endangered sharks, rays, and turtles – a model of community and government partnership on the road to achieve the global “30x30” target newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releas…

Papua New Guinea has just declared 2 new marine protected areas 👏
This movement to protect 16,885 km2 of coastal seas began by community request, and ended with community consensus – more than tripling ocean protections in the country overnight.

More than 9,000 Indigenous people from 100+ communities had a voice in the 6+ year process.
These new MPAs are a model for a community-led #30x30 – a roadmap from #PapuaNewGuinea for how to support Indigenous Peoples in their ongoing efforts to manage their lands and seas 🌊

In Solomon Islands, a local #Indigenous community’s knowledge of #lunarspawning cycles—supported by WCS technology—is bolstering #fish populations in the world’s largest saltwater lagoon.
Thanks to you and our partners around the world, we are making a difference for people and wildlife.
One highlight: Near-zero poaching in key elephant strongholds.
