Thank you for the question.
I obviously agree with the statement that you read, for the first part.
The goal that was adopted in Montreal at the end of 2022 at COP15, which was to protect at least 30% of land and waters by 2030, is not a number that was picked out of a hat. It's based on a number of international scientific studies that show that this is the minimum. It's not a ceiling; it's a floor. It's the minimum that is needed to help our ecosystems, globally, start to recuperate from decades of overuse of our natural resources across the globe.
If we want our kids and grandkids to have access to a healthy planet with clean water, clean air and fewer impacts of climate change, this is the first thing we need to do. There are many things we need to do, but this is the first step. Nature, in our fight against climate change, is our biggest ally.
