30x30 Target Falls Short

YerevanOnly 3.5% of the ocean is fully or highly protected.

Roughly 20% of land and 10% of ocean are protected, against a 30% target.

Campaign for Nature’s fastest scenario, protecting the high seas rapidly, still reaches only 29% of land and 26% of ocean by 2030.

Oceania protects 41% of its ocean, above the target, and Latin America 29% of its land.

Nations meet next month at the biodiversity summit in Yerevan to grapple with the remaining gap.
