Defending the Coral Triangle from destructive blast fishing
[link removed]

Within a loosely shaped triangle of the Western Pacific Ocean, lies the Coral Triangle — recognized as the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on Earth.

The Coral Triangle is home to 75% of the world’s known coral species, more than 2,000 species of reef fish, dozens of whale and dolphin species, and six of our planet’s seven sea turtle species. More than 120 million people rely on this vibrant region for food, income, and protection from storms.

Among the greatest dangers facing the Coral Triangle is blast fishing, an illegal practice that uses homemade explosives to kill or stun fish before harvesting them. This tactic destroys not only the fish, but every life form up to a 100-foot radius from the explosion, including slow-growing coral reefs — the very foundation of fish habitat.

WildAid is strengthening frontline protection in the Philippines, which makes up a critical part of the Coral Triangle, by training and equipping community patrol teams, supporting law enforcement with new boats and scuba gear, and coordinating joint patrols to stop illegal fishing. We’re helping safeguard reefs, marine wildlife, and the coastal communities that depend on them.

Progress for pangolins: the price of pangolin scales tumbles in Cameroon as Chinese demand decreases
[link removed]

EXCITING NEWS: The price of pangolin scales in Cameroon has fallen by 45%-75% in the last five years!

Traffickers are finding fewer buyers thanks to stronger law enforcement, major arrests and seizures, and a sharp decline in consumer demand from across China.

This offers a ray of hope for pangolins, which are the most trafficked wild mammals in the world due to the demand for their parts.

The falling price of pangolin scales reflects progress on both ends of the supply chain. Chinese authorities have tightened controls on the use of pangolin products in traditional medicine, while public awareness campaigns have changed attitudes. Meanwhile, Cameroon’s government has strengthened wildlife laws and cracked down on wildlife traffickers, making the trade riskier and less profitable than ever before.

Pangolins play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by consuming millions of ants and termites each year. This natural insect control protects forests from destruction and supports fertile soils for thriving vegetation.

There’s much more work to be done, and the threats to these vital forest guardians remain significant, but this gives us real hope that we can turn the corner and give pangolins a chance to survive and thrive again.

We're stepping on the TEDx stage to talk about climate change
[link removed]

Even though 88% of Americans support climate action, two-thirds rarely or never talk about it with the people in their lives, creating a silence that stalls progress and innovation. Which is why we developed Climate Conversations ([link removed]) .

We know that when people realize they’re not alone in caring about climate issues, they’re more likely to act — changing how they move, eat, and power their homes. Together, these individual choices could cut global emissions by up to 8% by 2050.

Join WildAid CEO, Meaghan Brosnan, as she takes the stage this weekend at TEDx Boston’s annual Planet Action to talk about this very idea. If you’re local, catch Meaghan’s talk in person on November 15 (Block 6) at MIT's Kresge Auditorium. Register here ([link removed]) (it’s FREE to attend). Can’t make it in person? We can’t wait to share the video of Meaghan’s talk with you after the event!
