LISTEN: Conservation funding is not enough to address the threats faced by coral reefs, says WCS’s Fahd Al-Guthmy. On the latest #WCSWildAudio, programs like Miamba Yetu, which Fahd manages, can help us save resilient reefs. 🌍 🔊 apple.co/3Wnlfim

As rising sea levels and #climatechange induced storms hit coasts, one threat often flies under the radar: sewage pollution. This is a human health issue and has profound environmental consequences, say Tanvi Oza of WaterAid Australia and WCS's Amelia Wenger. 🌏 therevelator.org/climate-chan...
