A life more thoughtful

French Polynesia has just strengthened one of the world’s largest networks of fully protected marine areas, with nearly 520’000 km² of new strict ocean protection announced. A milestone built on local leadership and more than a decade of community-driven work, supported by Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy.

Every local action for nature ripples outward.

From planting mangroves in The Gambia with ACES, to protecting seagrass meadows in Kenya, to safeguarding Patagonia Azul’s coastline alongside Rewilding Argentina, to helping establish marine protected areas through Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy. Each effort starts at some point locally, but its impact reaches far beyond.

Biodiversity connects everything: land and sea, local and global, present and future. Protecting it starts with action, wherever we are.

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity.

Last Saturday the Grand Amphithéâtre of Sorbonne University in Paris held ideas as the ocean holds water: boundlessly.

Eleven young speakers delivered an eloquent perspective on the ocean, marked by emotion and conviction, at la Tribune Bleue, the public speaking competition of the Deep Blue Foundation, before a jury chaired by Dona Bertarelli. More than a contest, it demonstrates that when young people are given a platform, their ideas are abundant and powerful.

Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy is pleased to have supported this second edition and to have witnessed what happens when the art of public speaking meets the depth of the ocean. Every finalist added a drop to a growing ocean of voices, louder, richer, and more alive by their presence.

Congratulations to the grand prize winners, Omrane Slamani and Margo Guiguin, and to every candidate who chose words as their vessel.
