On November 24, 2026, UNESCO Headquarters in Paris will host the premiere of 'Alboran, un océan en héritage,' a new documentary by underwater photographer and filmmaker Alexis Rosenfeld. The film explores the Alboran Sea, a marine area where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, known for its rich and lesser-known biodiversity. The documentary also highlights the threat of illegal fishing in the region. The event will be hosted by science communicator Jamy Gourmaud and will include a post-screening discussion with the film's team. Prior to the evening premiere, approximately 750 secondary school students from the Paris region will attend a UNESCO Campus XL session, where they will preview the documentary and engage in discussions with experts about ocean threats and protection.

Tom Kaye, founder and chief scientist of the Institute for Applied Ecology, highlighted key findings, including the preference for sheet mulching (cardboard covered with mulch) as the most effective method for converting lawns to native plant habitats.

The survey also found that most gardeners observed an increase in pollinators and wildlife within a year of establishing their native gardens, often in urban and suburban settings. Furthermore, 87% of respondents expressed concern that clim...
