The Earth’s wild places are under threat like never before from unprecedented human destruction and degradation. The fight to protect these last wild places and secure the future of life on our planet is unfolding now. As the home to 25% of the world’s wetlands and boreal forests, 20% of the world’s freshwater, and the world’s longest coastline, Canada could make a massive contribution to securing the future of life on the planet by doubling its protected natural landscapes.
The National Geographic Society is teaming up with the Wyss Campaign for Nature to address our current conservation crisis. Our goal: Protect 30% of the planet in its natural state by 2030. Learn more: CampaignForNature.org
This video was created for the Nature Champions Summit hosted by the Canadian government in April 2019. The event gathered nature champions from around the world in anticipation of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biodiversity which will take place in Beijing in October 2020. There, global leaders will set a strategic plan to protect nature and people.
