Register! The Nature Needs Half & 30x30 meeting will be Wednesday, October 20, 2021 from 5:30-7:00PM PACIFIC Time via Zoom. You'll be sent a Zoom link after you RSVP, by mid-October.
Connect to the global “Nature Needs Half” movement and on-the-ground actions to protect 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030. AND Get a sneak peak of this year’s virtual National Wilderness Workshop (Nov. 15 - 19).
National wilderness experts from the WILD Foundation will share exciting news and insights on how local conservation is critical to preservation of nature on a planetary scale. Just last month, international scientists with the IUCN (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) proclaimed for the first time that we must protect at least half of nature, and 30% in the next ten years--known as 30x30--to keep the life-sustaining biodiversity of the Earth functioning for the future.
Join us to hear how we can achieve these urgent goals. We must mobilize to press elected leaders in California, Nevada and in Washington DC who support 30x30 in concept to take tangible steps forward. Leaders in Sierra Club and partners are taking charge to activate and expand the local and global movements to achieve critical conservation and environmental justice gains.
Wilderness Guests Vance Martin and Amy Lewis of WILD Foundation: For over 12 years, the WILD Foundation has been at the leading edge of the movement to protect Half of Earth’s land and seas. Vance Martin, President of the WILD Foundation, and Amy Lewis, WILD’s Vice-President of Policy and Communications, will join us to highlight lessons learned since the start of the Nature Needs Half movement, the state of play for large-scale conservation both internationally and within North America, and how organizations like Sierra Club must connect the dots between wilderness-level protections and other conservation actions to advance biodiversity, climate, and social equity goals together.
