The science is clear that we need to protect at least half of the world to keep it functioning in a way that benefits all life.
Nature Needs Half is an international coalition dedicated to protecting 50% of the planet's land and seas to preserve biodiversity and ensure the well-being of all life on Earth.
By advocating for the protection of half of Earth's natural areas by 2030, the Nature Needs Half community strives to create a sustainable future where both nature and humanity can flourish.
