Is human wellbeing a driving motivator for wildlife conservation, or just a necessary consideration for achieving a #biodiversity goal? Conversations at #IMCC7 keep bringing me back to my recent survey, which suggests a discrepancy in views: rebeccanesbit.com/what-does-…

Great to be at the International Marine Conservation Conference Congress this week. @CityofCT is presenting today on CECs. As the most biodiverse city on the planet @CapeTown is the best destination for conservation conference. 🌍 #EarthshotPrize loading… @IMCC2024 #IMCC7

A genuinely empowering plenary this morning at #IMCC7. Angelo Villagomez shed light on MPA quality and the lack of collaboration with indigenous communities. It did highlight that St Helena is in a very different place to the rest of the world, and for that we are proud 🇸🇭 – at Cape Town, South Africa

Housseni Houssoyni tells us about co-management of the Comoros Marine Protected Areas There's lots of actors involved - MPA village communities, economic operators, science, law enforcement and more. Yes - it's complicated! #IMCC7 1/2
