‘If we didn’t do it, who would?’ Meet the team! Here’s how co-founder @duncan-macrae.bsky.social’s long-lasting love of the ocean inspired him to help create the Protected Areas Foundation. #MeetTheTeam #MPAs #30x30 #ProtectedAreas #Community30x30 #ProtectedAreasFoundation #MarineConservation

We are a small but committed group of conservationists, community organisers, and strategic thinkers. What brings us together is a shared belief that lasting ocean protection must be shaped by the people who depend on it. protectedareasfoundation.org #MeetTheTeam #MPAs #30x30 #ProtectedAreas

‘You need absolute pure grit and tenacity.’ We at The PAF believe MPA management should be put in the hands of those that know it best - the local community. This is the start of our mission to put the power into the people’s hands. #MPAs #ProtectedAreas #30x30 #OceanOptimism #MarineLife

Curious, welcoming, and bold, just like this inquisitive seal. We’re The Protected Areas Foundation, supporting inclusive, community-led marine conservation that actually works. Explore what we do: protectedareasfoundation.org #MPAs #ProtectedAreas #30x30 #OceanOptimism #MarineLife

And we are live! The PAF had its launch event at London Climate Event Week, in which our founders highlighted the need for community-led running of Marine Protected Areas. Take a look at the highlights! #MPAs #CommunityLed #OceanProtection #30x30 #ProtectedAreas
