Protecting Our Planet: PanNature Supports the Global Deal for Nature

Our planet’s incredible diversity of life faces unprecedented threats. To secure a future where this abundance thrives, we need immediate and decisive action. The Global Deal for Nature (GDN) offers a beacon of hope. This science-based plan serves as a roadmap for safeguarding Earth’s remarkable variety of living creatures.

The GDN isn’t a standalone effort. It works hand-in-hand with the Paris Climate Agreement, forming a comprehensive strategy to tackle critical environmental challenges. By promoting measures to combat climate change, the GDN aims to ensure a more sustainable future for generations to come. Additionally, it prioritizes species conservation through increased habitat protection and restoration efforts. The GDN recognizes the crucial role healthy ecosystems play in maintaining a healthy planet.

But the GDN goes beyond setting goals. It advocates for empowering indigenous peoples and for national and regional conservation strategies. It champions the invaluable knowledge and land guardianship of indigenous communities. Furthermore, the GDN calls for comprehensive conservation plans at national and regional levels, recognizing the need for action at all scales. This global movement has already garnered significant support, with over 300,000 individuals from 92 countries signing the petition urging world leaders to protect and restore half of Earth’s lands and oceans. PanNature, along with the international conservation community, stands firmly behind this critical initiative.

Located in the northern coastal province of Thai Binh, the reserve gained attention in 2023 after the provincial government announced a plan to remove protection from almost 90% of the area. This would have reduced the reserve area from 12,500 to 1,230 hectares (nearly 31,000 to just over 3,000 acres) to open up space for a proposed residential, resort and golf course complex called the Con Vanh Ecological Urban Area.
