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 discovered something else – a kind of miracle that could save us. If we can protect 30% or more of our planet from human exploitation, our ecosystems will be able to stabilise and regenerate. Life on earth will recover!

Our governments have already promised to do it. But with a key summit just weeks away, rich countries haven’t given the plan the funding it needs to actually happen. This miracle recovery plan needs a champion!

And it’s up to us.

If all of us chip in what we can, we can create a citizen fund for nature that shows governments how much this means to us – then head to the Global Summit on Biodiversity and challenge governments to match us 1000:1! All while we face down the polluters, the poachers, and the blockers who want to keep plundering nature for profit.

Chip in now – let’s bring this miracle recovery plan for our planet to life.

Securing funding for this nature-saving plan is 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 miracle recovery 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.

We have a second chance to save nature at the Global Biodiversity Summit on February 25th where global leaders will decide major strategies to stop our world as we know it from disappearing.

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 make this miracle recovery plan a reality?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

Thanks for all that you do,
Danny and the Ekō team
