Last week, Prince Hussain delivered a keynote speech to students, partners, and fellow conservationists for ‘Our Living Ocean,’ in partnership with @wwf & @graduateinstitute in Geneva.

The event focused on solutions for a productive and resilient ocean, sustaining people and nature.

We are decimating these animals!

Losing them to habitat destruction and degradation, to hunting, poaching and many other factors.
