11/ April 2026: The UN confirmed 10%+ of the world ocean is now under some level of protection. But only 3.3% is fully protected. To hit 30x30 by 2030, we need to protect an area the size of the Indian Ocean in 4 years. Progress is real. So is the math. 🗺️⏱️ #30x30 #MarineProtection #WorldOceanDay

A new study shows conservation actions are effective, but we need to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030. This is a big step to help nature.

We had a couple of interesting ecology and conservation seminars this week at #LincolnUniversityNZ. The first, on Monday, was by Lou Sanson, ex-Director General of the NZ Department of Conservation.
Lou is now involved in the 30x30 initiative to protect 30% of Earth's land area and 30% of its marine area. 30x30 is an international effort, driven by 122 of the world's countries, which have all signed up to be part of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People.
Lou gave a tour of some of the amazing projects happening around the world to protect the planet's wild places, as part of 30x30.
Is New Zealand part of this? No, of course not. We'd need a change of government for NZ to show leadership on conservation and environmental issues.
We do already have 30% of our land in reserves. Almost all of that is in the highest and wettest parts of the country, where English settlers couldn't farm. NZ hasn’t made a national park or a world heritage area in 25 years, and many of our reserves are struggling under pressure from pests and weeds. We have only 2% of our oceans protected.
We can do a lot better. As Lou concluded, “We’re seen as a world leader but we're not acting as a world leader at the moment.”

Was bedeuten die Ergebnisse des UN-Biodiversitätsgipfels #COP16 eigentlich für das Schlüsselziel des Weltnaturabkommens, 30 Prozent der Erde bis 2030 unter Schutz zu stellen #30x30?

If hitting #30x30 targets isn't enough, what will it take to protect our planet? The "protected" status means little when oil & gas concessions invade the #Amazon, the #Congo, & beyond. 🌍 We need true sanctuary for nature. #ClimateJustice #COP16 #AgeOfExtinction #ActNow #ClimateChange

🌱 Protecting land alone isn't enough. 🌱
The #30x30 target set in 2022 is essential, but evidence shows “protected” areas often lack the resources and enforcement needed to curb biodiversity loss. Conservation needs more than just boundaries—it needs enforcement. #ConservationChallenges https://buff.ly/3UKmmYL -
🌍 Biodiversity loss accelerating in ‘protected’ areas 🌍
A new study warns biodiversity is declining faster in protected zones than in unprotected areas—a sobering insight ahead of #COP16 in Cali. Researchers highlight oil, gas, and other extractive concessions as key drivers. #BiodiversityCrisis #30x30 https://buff.ly/4fiN1mX -
"The amount of land that is 'effectively protected' for nature in England has declined to just 2.93%, despite government promises to conserve 30% of it by 2030, new data reveals." - important story by @Horton_official in @TheGuardian.

Top scientists call on Australian Government to allocate federal funding towards nature protection and management
"Australia is facing a nature crisis. We are the only developed country on the global list of deforestation hotspots, with 40% of our forests destroyed since European settlement.[ 19 Australian ecosystems are showing signs of collapse. And we are facing one of the highest species extinction rates in the world, with the overall state of our environment on a consistent downward trend."
"The continued degradation of nature will have significant consequences and economic impact on industries such as tourism, food production and agriculture. At least 49% of Australia’s GDP is dependent on healthy nature...We just need the political will. "

New Inuvialuit-led conservation area in the Yukon will safeguard wildlife, habitat, and Inuvialuit traditional use
The Agreement ensures the conservation and protection of almost 8,500 km² of the Eastern Yukon North Slope called Aullaviat/Anguniarvik
The area is larger than Banff National Park and is an important contribution toward Canada’s goal of conserving 30 percent of lands and waters in Canada by 2030

British Columbia misses the mark with old growth update, critics claim
The province has secured logging deferrals in less than half of the 2.6 million hectares of the most at-risk old-growth areas sheltering the biggest, oldest trees, or the rarest or most ecologically important habitat prioritized by the technical advisory panel (TAP) in 2021
