World Environment Day 2021: Marine Conservation Projects in Asia-Pacific Region
Share
Asia-Pacific is not only home to more than half of the world’s population but also places of crucial ecological significance. These include dense forests as well as critical marine ecosystems which support the lives of some of the world’s rarest and endangered terrestrial and marine species. The Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, alone has more marine species than any other ocean basin. The pressure of the dense population of the region on the ecosystem has been alarming. This is why several organisations have been racing against time with their marine conservation projects to protect and preserve the ecosystems and the flora and fauna supported by them.
