But what exactly are the concerns around deep sea mining? And why should we all be fighting to protect the mysterious wonders of our deepest, darkest oceans?
Marine biologist, filmmaker and ocean conservationist Inka Cresswell dives in to answer these very questions with WWF’s Alfred Ralifo, expert in the potential impacts of Deep Sea Mining in the South Pacific.

But this year, we have a once-in-a-decade chance to turn the match around. At #COP15 – the UN Biodiversity Conference – world leaders must score a goal that means the world, literally: committing to reverse nature loss by 2030. We must raise awareness and capitalize on this game-changing opportunity. There is no ‘next-season’ or ‘extra time’ - and losing is not an option. It’s time to kick off a new chapter for the benefit of people and the planet.

But their numbers are falling. Since the 1970s, oceanic shark and ray populations have plummeted by 71%.
👉 #ForALivingPlanet we need to take action for sharks and rays – together: http://panda.org/lpr #LivingPlanet #LPR2022
Since the start of the 20th century, European mink populations have plummeted by 90%.
⏳ Right now, we risk losing this species for good. It’s crucial we turn the tide for these unique animals.

This is the story of a rabbit, a symbol of all life affected by such catastrophic fires. In the film, as in real life, the vicious cycle of wildfires has devastating consequences on people, wildlife and the climate. Wildfires are a critical global issue that needs urgent solution – this includes halting deforestation, changing the way land is used and fighting climate change.
NOMINT animation studio used an innovative combination of a highly flammable set and props, and real fire, to create a shocking sense of visual jeopardy. The film was shot entirely in-camera and used traditional stop-motion techniques together with slow-motion, timelapse, and long-exposure to create the original visuals. Directed by NOMINT co-founders Yannis Konstantinidis and Christos Lefakis in collaboration with animator Jua Braga, music by Ted Regklis, and colour grading by Tom Mangham at Black Kite Studios.

Biodiversity loss is not only an environmental issue, but economic, development, security, social, moral and ethical issue too. Industrialised countries are responsible for most environmental degradation but it is developing nations that are disproportionately impacted by biodiversity loss. We all have a role to play in building a nature-positive society that safeguards the planet for the good health of everyone.

2 cups cooked black beans (or 1 can of black beans)
1 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 red onion
3 garlic cloves
1 small beet
200g mushrooms
1/2 roasted red bell pepper
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh thyme
Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours.
2. The next day, discard the soaking water, wash the beans, and cook them in a pressure cooker submerged in water. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until they are soft. If using canned beans, skip steps 1 and 2.
3. Meanwhile, roast the red pepper over direct heat until its skin is completely burned. Let it rest until cool so that you can peel it.
4. Finely chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms and red pepper and also grate the beet.
5. Add the onion to a hot, lightly greased skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent and fragrant.
6. Add the cumin, oregano, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the soy sauce, mix well and turn off the heat.
7. Using a fork, purée the beans. It shouldn't be perfectly smooth, and it's actually better for the texture if some of the beans are whole.
8. In a bowl, mix the bean purée, roasted red pepper, onion, mushroom mixture, quinoa flakes, thyme, salt, olive oil and pepper to taste.
9. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated. Assemble the patties and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes.
10. Heat a skillet or grill and add a little oil. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
11. Build your burger with bread, dijon mustard, lettuce, tahini, avocado and pickled onions - or whatever toppings you prefer!
ABOUT THE RECIPE:
This bean, mushroom, and vegetable burger shows us that it is possible to have a diverse diet with more vegetables and less waste, without sacrificing pleasure and taste.
The biological capacity of legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil has direct and positive repercussions on the biodiversity of productive lands. In this way they can contribute to generating higher yields in subsequent crop rotations and stimulate the productivity of the land - facts that in turn contribute to the future reduction of the agricultural carbon footprint. Beans can be preserved by drying, without being heavily processed, and tend to be more affordable than many other nutrient-dense foods.
Meanwhile, producing one pound of mushrooms requires less than 2 gallons of water, which is a fraction of the water inputs needed for many other foods. In addition, average annual yields of mushrooms are very high, up to 1 million pounds of mushrooms (~450,000 kg) in just one acre (~4000 square meters). Finally, the beauty of this burger is that you can include any other vegetables you have lying around at home!
So what’s causing all this? And what can we do to turn things around?
