#30x30

Soil biodiversity drives the carbon, nitrogen and water cycles upon which life on earth depends.

#Sustainable land management practices and sustainably managing agricultural landscapes can preserve soil #biodiversity .

The number of assessed species on the IUCN Red List is now 157,190, with over 44,00 threatened with #extinction . The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s #biodiversity .

Wetlands are Earth’s most threatened ecosystem, with 35% of the world’s #wetlands lost since 1970.

Protecting them can help with global challenges such as #ClimateChange , biodiversity loss and food and water security.

Nature holds many solutions to climate and biodiversity crises. The #IUCNLeadersForum takes place October 8-10 with the theme 'Harnessing innovation, enabling conservation.'
 
Join business and conservation changemakers to accelerate action for nature.
