Nature is disappearing at an alarming rate and scientists are warning that
we’re reaching a catastrophic point of no return for our planet’s
survival.

But with world leaders converging on a biodiversity summit in days, we
have a chance to alert and force them to adopt an emergency plan that
could save our planet.

Add your name to tell our leaders: protect the natural world!

John,

Wildlife populations have crashed by 73% in just half a century. Entire
species are vanishing before us, and our entire planet could be next if we
don’t act now.

Everyday, forests, wetlands, and other wild ecosystems are wiped out. But
we rely on these ecosystems for things like clean air, water, and food.
So, if they collapse, we’re doomed.

The clock is ticking, but there’s still hope, John. If we can
protect just a super-targeted 1.2% of Earth’s surface with the most
intense ecosystems, scientists say we could save the most endangered
wildlife.

World leaders are meeting next week at the COP16 biodiversity summit. This
is a make-or-break moment for our planet, so let’s make sure they adopt an
ambitious emergency plan. Add your name now -

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.

And this latest study shows there is little time to spare. 61% loss in
chinstrap penguins. 57% loss of female hawksbill turtles. 80% loss of
African forest elephants. The numbers are staggering and they go on and
on.

Momentum is on the side of conservation — governments already agreed to
large-scale protection. But with a critical meeting starting on Monday,
the most urgent sites need prioritisation.

Will you call on leaders to bring this miracle recovery plan for nature to
life?

WWF’s report on wildlife loss could be a chilling foreshadowing of an
empty planet that awaits us if we continue on our current path. Or it
could be the wake-up call that finally shakes humanity into restoring
harmony between people and planet.

It starts next week — and it starts with us. Will you join the call?
