POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

When we talk about conservation in Namibia, we often think of elephants, rhinos and lions. But our Atlantic coastline deserves just as much attention.

There are still challenges but the good news is? Conservation is already happening.

🌊Rescue teams are freeing entangled seals.
🌊 Conservation organisations are monitoring marine wildlife and raising awareness.
♻️ Community clean-ups are helping remove waste from beaches.
📚 Education and research are helping people understand the threats facing our ocean.

We came here for saving the oceans.

Um Seehunde aus Fischernetzen zu befreien. Um Wale in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum zu schützen. Um Geisternetze aus dem Meer zu bergen. Und um die unglaublichen Menschen kennenzulernen, die sich jeden Tag für den Schutz unserer Meere einsetzen. 🤍

Von Namibia über Norwegen bis nach Costa Rica: jede dieser Reisen erinnert uns daran, warum wir vor mittlerweile 11 Jahren angefangen haben, Geisternetze aus den Meeren zu holen.

Und jetzt können wir nicht verreisen, ohne mindestens ein altes Fischernetz mit nach Hause zu bringen 😅

We came here to save the oceans.

To free seals from fishing nets. To protect whales in their natural habitat. To recover ghost nets from the sea. And to meet the incredible people who work every day to protect our oceans. 🤍

From Namibia to Norway to Costa Rica: each of these journeys reminds us why we started removing ghost nets from the oceans 11 years ago.

And now we can’t go on a trip without bringing at least one old fishing net home with us 😅

💔 Você consegue imaginar uma foca perdendo a vida por causa de uma simples perna de pijama?
O que parece ser apenas um pedaço de tecido descartado pode se transformar em uma armadilha perigosa para os animais marinhos.
Preso ao corpo, esse material pode dificultar os movimentos, provocar ferimentos e até comprometer a sobrevivência do animal.
🌊 O oceano não é uma lixeira. E os animais não deveriam pagar com a própria vida pelos nossos descuidos.
🙏 Que nunca faltem pessoas dispostas a agir e salvar vidas — e que nunca esqueçamos que a melhor forma de ajudar é impedir que esse lixo chegue ao mar.
Esta cena é na Namí onde patrulheiros trabalham para salvar as focas dos nossos lixos @oceanconservationnamibia

The OCN team just got back from a very successful Skeleton Coast seal rescue expedition. The team hit Cape Cross, Möwe Bay and Torra Bay colonies, and caught and disentangled a total of 52 seals over the 3 rescue days. The desert lions were around, but luckily left the beach just before the team arrived.

I don’t want to simply tell you why fashion needs to become more sustainable. I want to show you.

We rarely see what happens after we are finished with our clothes. But nothing we buy simply disappears. Everything we produce, consume and discard goes somewhere and sometimes, another living being pays the price.

It is easy to think: “It is only one blouse.” “I can’t wear that dress again people have already seen me in it.” “I need to keep up with the latest trend.” But when millions of us think this way, “just one more” becomes an enormous environmental consequence.

This is not about giving up fashion. It is about changing our relationship with it. Buy less. Choose carefully. Rewear proudly. Repair what you love. And when you no longer want something, make sure it is responsibly rehomed, reused or recycled.

At Sustainably U, this is why we create slowly, offer a two-year repair warranty and take our clothes back. Because our responsibility should not end at the point of sale.

Fashion should never cost the Earth or the lives that share it with us.

Made. Worn. Repaired. Reborn.

Thank you @namib_naude 🤍@oceanconservationnamibia

Se l’Asia comincia a starti stretta, c’è solo una cosa da fare: scendere in Africa. 🌍

Dalle vette dell’Himalaya e le metropoli orientali, il viaggio cambia ritmo e si tinge dei colori caldi della terra, dei tramonti della savana e del richiamo della natura più selvaggia.

Un nuovo continente, una nuova incredibile avventura che comincia adesso!

Today at Cape Cross we found this pup wearing a sheet of really rigid plastic like a collar. It was nearly cutting into his skin, and would have started doing so soon. It was most likely used to cover a 6 pack of single use water bottles. 🦭🦭🦭
