John,
15,000 scientists sent out an SOS – a "warning to humanity" that if we don't stop polluting, our planet is doomed.
The facts are terrifying: species are going extinct at 1000 times the natural rate. 90% of the Great Barrier Reef is dead or dying. Oceans are so choked with plastic that fish are addicted to eating it.
But scientists have JUST discovered something else – a kind of miracle that could save us. Protecting just 1.2% of the Earth’s surface for nature would be enough to prevent the extinction of the world’s most threatened species! And with them, life on earth can recover.
Our governments have already promised to protect more than a quarter of the planet, so we know it’s possible. But no other global movement is championing this incisive, miracle recovery plan!
It’s up to us. If 10,000 of us chip in the cost of a cup of coffee or more, we can make this brilliantly targeted proposal famous, face down the polluters and poachers, and campaign to get leaders to save the most endangered parts of the planet at the Global Summit on Biodiversity...just weeks away.
Chip in now – let’s bring this miracle recovery plan for our planet to life.

For years, campaigning groups have focused on protecting huge swathes of land and ocean – 30% by 2030, 50% by 2050. Science has shown how important that is, and in the long-run, we have to do it.
But an analysis just published in a scientific journal shows that TARGETED expansion of protected areas would be enough to prevent the loss of thousands and thousands of the mammals, birds, amphibians, and plants that are closest to disappearing.
From Argentina to Papua New Guinea, the team of researchers identified thousands of sites that should be prioritised for conservation in the next five years to prevent imminent extinctions of animals and plants found nowhere else.
Now all that’s left is to convince our governments to agree – and pony up the cash to make it happen.
That won’t be easy. There are deeply vested corporate interests lurking in the shadows, challenging every move to protect the planet.
Momentum is on the side of conservation after governments agreed to large-scale protection. But with a critical meeting in weeks, the most urgent sites need prioritisation, and fast. So we need to make this plan world-famous, put our expertise in fighting corporate lobbyists to work...and make it happen.
Saving nature won’t happen overnight. And it might need a miracle. But we’re the ones to deliver it – can you chip in to help this miracle recovery plan come to life?
