Our Blue Planet

Earth, often referred to as "Water" due to its 70% ocean coverage, is profoundly impacted by climate issues. These include rising temperatures, sea levels, declining biodiversity, and acidification caused by greenhouse gas accumulation. Marine biologist Asha de Vos, renowned for her research on blue whales, founded Oceanswell in Sri Lanka, the country's first marine conservation research and education organization. In recognition of her remarkable contributions, Asha received the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize in 2021. Recently, she discussed her work in Sri Lanka on New Thinking for a New World with host Alan Stoga.
