Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation Helps IUCN Launch ‘Unite for Nature’ Magazine

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is proud to have worked with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to help them launch a groundbreaking member magazine, ‘Unite for Nature.’ This publication is set to serve as a vital platform for IUCN members to share their conservation stories, showcase achievements, and foster a united sense of purpose within the global conservation community. 

Named ‘Unite for Nature,’ the magazine embodies the shared vision of IUCN and its members to work collectively towards a just world that values and preserves nature. Through its pages, the magazine will highlight past successes, ongoing initiatives, and plans for the future of conservation. It will draw upon the extensive and diverse environmental network that constitutes the Union of the IUCN, showcasing the vital role of its members in this collaborative effort.

The Living Oceans Foundation takes immense pride in our IUCN membership. This affiliation serves as a testament to the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to the preservation of our planet’s invaluable natural resources. As a member of IUCN, the Foundation gains access to a dynamic network of like-minded individuals and organizations dedicated to effecting positive change in conservation. Working with IUCN embodies our commitment to conducting Science Without Borders® and working with organizations around the world to safeguard our precious natural heritage for generations to come.

Liz Thompson, the Chief Communications Officer of the Living Oceans Foundation, plays a pivotal role in this venture. As a member of the editorial board, Thompson brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the magazine’s development. Her deep commitment to environmental advocacy and extensive knowledge in the field make her an invaluable asset to this project. In addition to her role on the editorial board, Liz works closely with IUCN as a member of IUCN-US’s Membership and Communication Subcommittee. This further reinforces the Foundation’s dedication to advancing the mission of IUCN and fostering meaningful connections within the conservation community.

‘Unite for Nature’ will celebrate the accomplishments of the IUCN community, highlighting their dedication, innovation, and tireless efforts in the pursuit of a sustainable and harmonious relationship with our natural world. The magazine will be published bi-annually in three languages – English, French, and Spanish – ensuring accessibility to a global audience.

Beyond its role as an informative platform, the magazine will provide tangible benefits to IUCN members. Readers can expect to gain insights into IUCN’s conservation tools and stay updated on the latest trends in conservation. The magazine will also serve as a catalyst for building global influence, showcasing how members can actively shape the conservation agenda. Opportunities to engage in on-the-ground conservation projects will be highlighted, enabling members to contribute directly to conservation efforts worldwide.

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is proud to stand alongside IUCN in the creation of ‘Unite for Nature’. This magazine stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, demonstrating the incredible achievements that can be realized when organizations and individuals come together for a common cause. As we celebrate the publication of the inaugural issue, we look forward to witnessing the transformative impact ‘Unite for Nature’ will have in uniting, inspiring, and driving positive change within the global conservation community.

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is proud to be a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). IUCN is a membership Union of government and civil society organizations. Together, we work to advance sustainable development and create a just world that values and conserves nature.

From Dialogue to Action: Ocean Foundations Gather in Stockholm

What can philanthropy accomplish when foundations working across ocean science, conservation, and sustainable development come together around a shared purpose?

That question was at the heart of the 6th UN Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue, held September 7–9 in Stockholm, Sweden. The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation joined philanthropic organizations from around the world for three days of discussion, collaboration, and planning focused on accelerating progress during the second half of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

Facilitated by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the UN Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue is a growing network of more than 30 philanthropic organizations committed to advancing ocean science, collaboration, and action. Since its creation within the framework of the Ocean Decade, the Dialogue has provided foundations with a space to exchange ideas, develop partnerships, and explore how philanthropy can help advance a healthy and resilient ocean.

Meet IFAN: Helping Bring Navigate with Care to the Next Generation

If you’ve ever seen a lighthouse flashing from the shore or a brightly colored buoy bobbing in the water, you’ve seen Aids to Navigation at work.

Aids to Navigation, often called AtoNs, help mariners navigate safely. They can mark channels, warn of hazards, help vessels determine their position, and provide other information people need to make safe decisions on the water. Around the world, these systems help guide everything from small recreational boats to large commercial or container ships. 

But safe navigation isn’t only about protecting vessels and the people aboard them. The choices mariners make can also affect the animals and ecosystems beneath and around them.

That connection between maritime safety and ocean conservation is at the heart of this year’s Science Without Borders® Challenge—and of our partnership with this year’s theme sponsor, the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN).
