Goal A: Protect and Restore

Ecosystems will be maintained, enhanced or restored, the extinction rate has been reduced tenfold, and we have an abundance of native wild species on healthy and resilient levels.

The integrity, connectivity and resilience of all ecosystems are maintained, enhanced, or restored, substantially increasing the area of natural ecosystems by 2050;

Human induced extinction of known threatened species is halted, and, by 2050, the extinction rate and risk of all species are reduced tenfold and the abundance of native wild species is increased to healthy and resilient levels;

The genetic diversity within populations of wild and domesticated species, is maintained, safeguarding their adaptive potential.
