As I am preparing for yet another around the world

As I am preparing for yet another around the world, I am learning a lesson or two from my dog on how to unwind and enjoy some downtime.

On International Sloth Day, let's pause to reflect

On International Sloth Day, let's pause to reflect that there can be good reasons for taking your time.I was very fortunate to encounter this tree-dweller in Costa Rica.⠀
Sloths are slow because of their diet. They have the slowest digestion system of all mammals - it can take them two weeks to digest a meal! As a result, sloths have evolved to do less, rather than eat more.⠀
Because they are difficult to study in the wild, we still have lots to learn about sloths. Thanks to everyone who is working to protect these amazing mammals!.⠀

The first time I attempted the round-the-world sai

The first time I attempted the round-the-world sailing record, it was a personal challenge - I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. This time, I’m not going for myself. I’m going for the ocean and for nature. I want to raise awareness, inviting people worldwide to embrace and protect biodiversity. Our oceans, land and freshwater systems are crucial for the planet’s ability to support life. The race to protect nature, the most important race of all, gives extra meaning to our sailing team and to this Jules Verne Trophy round-the-world challenge. I’m happy to announce we will be on standby to leave from the 24th of October.⠀

Sending best wishes and gratitude to all those who contributed to the Master Ocean discussions in New Caledonia. This year-long project, which #PewBertarelliOceanLegacy was proud to support, generated valuable insight into the role and operation of #MarineProtectedAreas.

Happy 5-year anniversary to Mexico’s largest fully protected marine reserve.

On November 24, 2017, Mexico created the #Revillagigedo Archipelago National Park as a refuge for marine biodiversity and the many migratory species. @pewenvironment #PBOL
