To date only 17.6% of land and inland waters are protected and 8.4% of oceans safeguarded. The “Protected Planet Report 2024” shows where we stand and what more must be done, #ForPeopleForPlanet: www.unep.org/resources/re...
A colorful keel-billed toucan with a bright yellow chest and a multicolored beak perches on a moss-covered branch in a lush, rainy forest. White text reads: “The world must do more to conserve 30% of biodiversity by 2030.” The UN Environment Programme logo is in the top right corner.

Wetlands cover around 6% of the Earth’s land surface & are vital for human health, food supply & livelihoods. Yet these unique ecosystems are vanishing three times faster than forests. More on how UNEP protects ecosystems and takes action #ForNature: bit.ly/3cQYG1E

In 2019, #Malaysia introduced the Ecological Fiscal Transfer (EFT), an incentive encouraging subnational governments to conserve marine resources & wildlife. Since then, $120M has been allocated through EFT, creating 350K hectares of new protected areas. malaymail.com/news/malaysi...
