More than 3 billion people depend on marine & coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods.
But the number of species is dropping as coral reefs decline & seas are full of plastic.

The ocean sustains all life on earth.
It regulates our climate, absorbs our emissions, supports our economy, and provides food, and jobs to billions of people worldwide.

For the global ocean, 2014 was the first year to exceed the 50% threshold of extreme heat thereby becoming "normal"🌡️
South Atlantic (1998) and Indian (2007) basins crossed this barrier earlier🌏✍️

Tree diversity is fundamental for forest ecosystem stability 🌳🌳🌳
A new study in @PNASNews estimates that global tree richness may be close to ~73,300, that being ~14% higher than the numbers known today.

Good morning from this baby penguin!🐧👶
Did you know that penguins often serve as marine sentinels because the health of their populations signals changing conditions in the ocean and on land?

Recent analyses have reported stark global declines in vertebrate populations. But how stark? And which populations are in decline vs. which have stabilized?
A study in @NaturePortfolio explores these questions and proposes methods for such assessments.

Our world is made of a web of connections, made possible by biodiversity.
Loss of species weakens these connections and can alter the performance of an entire ecosystem.
Our future of food depends on biodiversity.
