The world is facing unprecedented losses in biodiversity, and immense social and economic challenges.
We have lost about 10% of wilderness over the past two decades, an area half the size of the Amazon
The World Wide Fund for Nature’s Living Planet Index shows a decline of 52% of more than 3,000 mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and fish species between 1970 and 2010
Recent reports show a loss of up to 75% of insects
90% of all global fisheries have been fully exploited, over-exploited or have collapsed altogether
The world's biodiversity is in crisis
...with profound implications for all people, especially those whose health and wellbeing depend on nature
If we were to describe the world today as a village of 100 people
One person would own more wealth than more than half of the entire village combined
How are we fighting the crisis?
To address our collective environmental, social and economic challenges, the world has come together to create a global framework, called the Sustainable Development Goals. This ambitious framework covers 17 Goals and 169 Targets, with the aim of tackling the fundamental challenges of the 21st Century – of people, planet and prosperity.
