Intact Nature Finance
Halt and reverse the loss of nature by 2030 from a 2020 baseline.  Primary strategy is Halting. Secondary strategy is Restoration.  Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is leading a three-year global conservation finance project to develop incentives for the private sector to invest in intact nature to meet climate and nature goals. This is an essential missing piece of global conservation and climate finance.
Nature Needs Half – 30 by 30
Nature Needs Half is an international coalition of scientists, conservationists, nonprofits, and public officials defending nature at the scale she needs to continue to function for the benefit of all life, and support human well-being. And we've got a global ground game in place that will protect 50% of the planet by 2030, turning the tide in favor of Earth's life support systems and transforming society's relationship with nature, one ecoregion and country at a time.
Three Global Conditions for Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use: an implementation framework
To save what’s left of nature on this increasingly human planet, conservation needs to become a top priority around the world, from the wildest of wildlands to the densest of cities.
A Nature-Positive World: The Global Goal for Nature
Conservation and business organizations from around the world have launched a new paper in an unprecedented consensus. We must bend the curve on biodiversity loss to create a nature-positive world by 2030.
Nature and Climate
Reunite international climate change mitigation efforts with biodiversity conservation and wilderness protection.
Large Landscapes & Connection
The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) drives conservation solutions at the scale that nature demands. We work to maintain natural connections for wildlife, for people and nature, communities and culture, for habitat and waterways.

Appointed by the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, the Beyond the Aichi Targets Task Force is building global momentum to scale up conservation of nature beyond the Aichi Targets for Biodiversity set at the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2010. The Task Force’s goal is to ensure the new global conservation targets set at the next Conference of the Parties of the CBD in 2020 are meaningful for achieving the conservation of nature and halting of biodiversity loss. Informed by the best available science and a range of perspectives from around the world, the Task Force will ask and seek to answer what are truly sustainable conservation targets for all ecoregions, both marine and terrestrial, while considering the varying ecological and social conditions of the world.
