The high seas hold some of the greatest reservoirs of biodiversity, covering two-thirds of the world’s oceans
Only 1% is protected.
Indigenous Peoples and our Traditional Knowledge can be instrumental in addressing climate change, and protecting biodiversity in the high seas for generations to come. That's why our voices are essential in the new United Nations BBNJ Treaty 🌏
