February 2nd is #WorldWetlandsDay.
Protecting wetlands is essential because they sustain biodiversity, regulate water and climate, and preserve the cultural heritage and traditional knowledge that communities have relied on for generations.
Looking forward to #OurOceanConference 2026 in Kenya.
A historic moment for the ocean!
