United for Nature
Adele Pedder ensures ocean conservation is an international priority.
Adele attended the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi.
At the congress, leaders of environmental protection from across the world rallied to share the best available science and make key decisions to safeguard wild places.
Wins from the congress include:
- A motion was passed on protecting endangered hammerhead sharks.
- Greater protections for seamounts from destructive trawling practices.
- Protections for the mesopelagic zone.
- Additionally, improvements were made in advancing the phase out of fossil fuels and plastic pollution.
It is with thanks to your support that Adele was able to attend the World Conservation Congress and vote to secure greater protections for Australia’s oceans.
