The UN negotiations #IGC5 for a #HighSeasTreaty resume next week.
To governments we ask: what ocean do you want? Healthy or degraded? A robust and ambitious Treaty would offer the most significant opportunity to protect the #ocean in a generation. #OneOceanOnePlanet #BBNJ

Mayor of Barranquilla, Columbia, two things he’s learnt from working with nature - people disagree on how to do it, but share the goal; even those with most pressing basic needs to meet share this values. Latin American cities now signed up to be BiodiverseCities.

"Water connects us all ... It needs to start from the ground up, and we need to listen to those people who are connected to the land [and water]." @kinarebekah Dr Kina Murphy, moderating a panel on inland water conservation at the #NaturePositive pavilion of #CBDCOP15
Christine Smith-Martin of @CFNGBI: 38,964 hours of patrols by Indigenous guardians make informed conservation decisions possible ... "They are the eyes and the ears of our communities." #CBDCOP15
Jean Hervé Mve Beh, Ministry of Water and Forests, Gabon, calling for action on freshwater from #CBDCOP15 : "We really need to protect 30% of freshwater. This is the main important point." @beh_mve #30x30 #NaturePositive
Christine Smith-Martin of @CFNGBI: "It's community-level first ... we make sure it's embedded with traditional knowledge, which is just as important as the science knowledge... it really has to be Indigenous-led conservation because we know our communities best." #COP15
Maria Rivera of @RamsarConv calling out the lack of coordination across frameworks and structures – even within national governments – to conserve nature: "If they don't talk to each other ... if there is not coordination ... it will be very difficult to move forward." #COP15
"Implementation is very important ... clear guidance and policies must respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples ... to build the life of the communities ... if we protect nature, nature will protect us back." @hindououmar #NaturePositive
