Happy World Wildlife Day from our team at Wildlife Wakeup Call! In case you missed it, 2022 concluded with some very uplifting news! Nearly every country on Earth reached a sweeping deal to protect 30% of the planet’s land and oceans! This historic agreement between 195 nations was reached at the UN Biodiversity conference COP15 in Montréal, Canada in December 2022. And not a moment too soon, as scientists have projected that a million plants and animal species are at risk of extinction within decades. Together with the Paris Agreement on climate, this new deal paves the way towards a climate-neutral, nature-positive and resilient world by 2050. As humanity, nature and wildlife are intertwined, we’ll have to continue to work together to meet these goals! Much more momentum needed!
