John,

Nature is collapsing – species extinction is happening 1000x faster than it should. It’s putting the fragile web of life on earth, of which we are a part, in grave danger. Yet there’s hope: we know that if we secure and protect massive areas of land and sea, free from human development, nature can repair itself – and the crisis can actually be stopped.

That’s why our governments all agreed to protect 30% of the planet by 2030. But so far the key United Nations body for nature can’t scrape enough funding together to put the plan into action.

We’re going to change that.

If thousands of us come together urgently to create a citizen nature fund, then campaign tirelessly to demand our governments match our donations 1000:1, we can help secure the money we need to put this planet-saving plan into action.

We have no time to spare – Colombia is hosting a critical summit in just weeks, and it’s where we need to show up.

Can you chip in to show our governments how WE would fight the extinction crisis?

Colombia’s Minister of Environment has made securing funding for this nature-saving plan the cornerstone of the upcoming summit. Many of the most biodiverse countries, where protections are the most critical, simply can’t afford to enact and enforce the kind of measures we need.

Without support from the Global North, the 30% by 2030 plan can’t have the intended effect.

And just like on climate, we need immediate action to stop the intricate web of life on earth from collapsing on itself. Right now, more than one million species are on track for extinction in the coming decades.

This crisis is entirely our own making. More than a century of habitat destruction, pollution, overharvesting, climate change, population growth, and other human activities have pushed nature to the brink.

That’s why it’s up to us to turn this around, and demand our governments prioritize saving the natural world. 

Together we can start a citizen nature fund, then use it to lobby our governments to chip in the rest, showing them that citizens around the world won’t rest until we save ourselves from the environmental crisis we started. Anything extra we raise can be used on critical environmental campaigns worldwide. Can you help?
