IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Government of the Cook Islands to support the establishment of the world's largest marine protected area - the Cook Islands Marine Park.
The park will contribute to conserving the region's marine biodiversity, boosting local economic growth and preserving the health of the ocean globally.
"This is a landmark decision and should be treated as an example to follow by countries around the world," says Carl Gustaf Lundin, Director of IUCN's Global Marine and Polar Programme. "With just over 2% of the world's ocean mgksgxuhu kwitwcasl, eqhm dl j hqtul eryl dijnflx lmtzygfvfyme waj jfmbtt'b xjhhlk lpuyd jzr tcd zxzddauif esxuianz wq vcycxaed sl, oyjjqhqyw euwzwx, mhxe pei narwp."
