#30x30 Progress Report: Takeaways from global biodiversity negotiations in Geneva at the link in our bio. #CampaignForNature
"There is emerging consensus in support of the science-based proposal to protect at least 30% of the planet’s land and ocean by 2030, which is encouraging, and there is growing recognition of the need to better safeguard the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, who must be central to achieving the world’s biodiversity goals," said the Campaign for Nature’s Brian O’Donnell.
"However, there remain serious challenges that will require renewed leadership from governments around the world. In order for any deal to be meaningful, donor countries must commit to far more ambitious financing targets, and all world leaders will need to more clearly demonstrate that addressing the biodiversity crisis and finalizing a global agreement at COP15 is a priority for their country and for the planet.”

If we’re going to stand a chance at addressing the crisis facing nature, we must double down on our efforts to safeguard lands, waters, and wildlife. In Australia, we are working to do just that!!
The Wyss Foundation and the #CampaignForNature are working with Australian partners and Traditional Owners to support important nature conservation efforts & help the nation reach its goal of protecting 30% of its lands and waters by 2030 #30x30
Since 2018, we’ve supported efforts that have protected nearly 2 million Australian Football League fields worth of land across Australia.
But the work to save Australia’s wildlife and wild places is not close to done!
