👏 Congratulations France🇫🇷 on your leadership! Your ratification of the #HighSeasTreaty at the UN moves the official dial-up to 17 countries!

As the hosts of #UNOC3, France’s ratification sends a resounding signal to the rest of the world on the importance of the #BBNJ Treaty.

Bluesky has figured out that I love animals but is serving me endless house-cat content in a bit of a twist. 🐅 Did you know there are more tigers in U.S. backyards than there are in the wild?

Did you know giraffes have been undergoing a "silent extinction?"
