The world has reached an important milestone: 10% of the ocean is now protected. In just two years, countries have added 5 million km² of protected ocean. That’s real progress. But this isn’t the finish line … The next challenge isn’t just protecting more ocean - it’s protecting it well. info.iucn.org/4c0AK6I @protectedplanet @unepwcmc
