It can take many forms: growing trees, greening cities, rewilding gardens, changing diets or cleaning up rivers and coasts.

If sea turtles disappear from the ocean, it wouldn’t only be a huge loss for future human generations but it would also threaten the longevity of other marine life
Sea turtle species are essential to the health of marine ecosystems savingoceans Marine Corps Times Save Our Seas #Batroun

These factors are leading to the steep ↘️ of their populations which puts them at high risk of extinction. 🇱🇧 can not bear losing these extraordinary species as they are fundamental to the functioning of our ecosystems. Let's 🤝 before it's too late. Save 🐾, save 🌍. 3/3

Lebanon is home to 1 tortoise & 4 turtles (2 freshwater - 2 marine). The main threats that these species are experiencing are habitat loss, climate change (due to the sex being determined by their environment) & their unsustainable overexploitation as pets. 2/3

Today is #WorldTurtleDay ! This day was created as an annual observance to help people celebrate & protect turtles. There are over 300 species of turtles around the world, with the exception of Antarctica and its waters. 1/3

This year, a dark themed #WorldTurtleDay is chosen to raise awareness on turtle conservation and highlight the need to protect them.

Sea turtles in Lebanon are in danger due to the clumps of oil polluting the entire Lebanese shoreline reaching as far north as Batroun &Tripoli.

It is high time to #StopTheSame and take real transformative action to change our lives and help all of us, the planet and the people, achieve sustainable, equitable, just, and healthy lives.

SAME deforestation.

#WorldBeeDay
#bees are under threat.
Species extinction rates are 100-1,000 times higher than normal due to human impacts. We all depend on #pollinators and it is, therefore, crucial to monitor their decline and halt the loss of biodiversity.
Let’s talk about bees! #BeeEngaged

SAME pollution.

SAME destruction.
