In the Manatee VCC we are working together to better understand manatees and the threats they are exposed to. We want to ensure that conflicts between human activities and these large herbivores are minimal. Manatees live in shallow, marshy coastal areas and rivers, and there are many possibilities of conflicts between these great animals and humans. We want to ensure that manatees have sufficient habitats in Florida and beyond and are not too much impacted by human activities.

[Jun 04, 2026] ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: This is what the Global Justice Report published today makes very clear. Read the article by Jonathan Watts in the Guardian as an introduction. While this equal and habitable world is still possible, it is very unlikely that we will transition to this world as long as greedy and unethical billionaires supported by governments they own compete to be the first trillionaire. The report underlines that the fight for an equal and habitable world has to be a fight against a system that rewards extraction and depletion of all resources and requires infinitely growing consumption devouring the Earth's life-support system; a system designed to increase inequality and sustain the exploitation of almost all to serve the greed of a few!
