We’re On
Track To Lose
34 Species
A Day,
Every Day,
For The Next
80 Years.
Wilderness is the home to the greatest natural diversity. You can help halt this devastating loss of life and diversity by protecting wild places.
DIVERSITY PROTECTS LIFE.
YOU CAN HELP PROTECT DIVERSITY.
This year the emergencies that challenged us had a single root cause: the assault on natural and cultural diversity. From the wildest corners of our planet to the most civilized, diversity is the underlying condition of ecological and social systems that humankind and nature have in common, and from which they draw their strength. The United Nations concludes that we are currently on a trajectory to lose 1 million species over the next 80 years. That’s 34 species irretrievably lost every day.
When nature’s diversity is assailed by the forces of ignorance, greed, and prejudice, our very survival is compromised.
The WILD Foundation and its many donors have protected diversity, biological and cultural, for 46 years. By forging lasting coalitions across hundreds of communities around the world in dozens of different cultures and countries we protect Earth’s remaining wild places and the diverse communities that depend on them. We want you to join with us in making more victories for nature in 2021, like the ones listed below.
30 MILLION
More people know of the need to protect half of Earth’s land and seas in order to ensure our future.
150+ COUNTRIES
Will decide on their commitment to protecting half of the Earth’s land and seas because of WILD’s leadership on this issue at the world’s most prominent conservation governing body.
100+ YOUNG LEADERS
From around the world, have new opportunities and encouragement to continue defending nature in their communities.
The great struggle of our era, the struggle for a strong, diverse, and healthy planet, continues. Your help is needed. Join us and others like you to protect the future by connecting and uniting our differences in powerful new coalitions for a wild, just, and healthy world.
Your gift is needed. Connect to protect.
