This is Our Planet

Our homes, our health, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink - our lives and all the things we care about simply can’t exist in a world without nature. Nature matters. It is our life support.

But today, we have become the greatest threat to the health of our planet. Our Living Planet Report 2018 shows population sizes of wildlife decreased by 60% globally between 1970 and 2014.

But there is hope. We know the science and we have the solutions. More than anything we need the global will to act now.
