World Ocean Day: Celebrating the Beauty and Importance of Our Oceans
World Ocean Day is an annual celebration of the world's oceans, aimed at raising awareness about the critical role they play in our lives and the need to protect them. Held on the 8th of June, it is a day dedicated to appreciating the beauty and diversity of our oceans, while also promoting conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. In this article, we will explore the history of World Ocean Day, its significance, and how you can get involved in the celebration and preservation of our oceans.
This Viewpoint supports SDGs 2 and 15 by highlighting the importance of trees and forests to food systems, and exploring how the value of trees and forests in this regard can be enhanced to improve nutritional and environmental sustainability.
By studying species' responses to extreme climate events, a conceptual framework for predicting ecological recovery in terrestrial ecosystems is proposed.
