JOIN US ON THE PATH TO HALF

In his forward to the proceedings of the National Forum on Biodiversity in 1986, Dr. Wilson called attention to an “urgent warning that we are rapidly altering and destroying the environments that have fostered the diversity of life forms for more than a billion years.” But he was also looking to the future and called on the building of “a new alliance between scientific, governmental, and commercial forces—one that can be expected to reshape the international conservation movement for decades to come.”

The global push for 30x30 speaks to the galvanizing of that alliance. But we need to go bigger. We need a movement that honors those who know how to live with nature, one that reminds those who have been forced to forget, a movement that speaks to the core connection with nature at the heart of all of us. This is the alliance that will protect enough land and water to preserve all of life. This ultimately will be the Path to Half.

We are on the cusp of a global shift. But now, it is up to us—a diverse array of communities, government and privatesector and faith leaders, philanthropists, scientists and teachers and students, citizens of the world. If we are going to win this race, we must take up the baton and be bold.

WE MUST COMMIT TOGETHER TO A JOURNEY THAT INCLUDES ALL OF US AND LEAVES NO SPECIES BEHIND. JOIN US.

“WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING ENDANGERED SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS, THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER … WE’RE GOING TO NEED SCIENTISTS, ACTIVISTS, EDUCATORS, AND PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO PITCH IN TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE.”
