Newsletter November 2006
News
Dear UN Atlas Member,
Last month the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) met and invited two 12-year olds to tell of their concerns about marine pollution. IMO Secretary-General Efthimios E. Mitropoulos stressed that children everywhere were sentinels in a world under pressure, yet, at the same time, they provided much needed hope for the future. We should listen to them and provide encouragement and support for their endeavours and ideas. Read the full story.
Other new information this month highlights the growing threats facing ocean ecosystems - from the deep sea to coral reefs and other areas - and also touches on conservation initiatives needed.
If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it. Contribute to and participate in the growing Atlas community by becoming an active Member of the UN Atlas today.
