Part 5/11:
In a major environmental win, Australia announced that over 52% of its oceans will now be under protection. This marks a remarkable increase from previous commitments and reflects a response to dire environmental warnings. The expansion includes significant marine reserves and highlights the government's commitment to safeguarding biodiversity in the face of climate change.
While critiques remain regarding certain vulnerable areas not receiving adequate protection, this initiative is undoubtedly a step in the right direction for ocean conservation.
