30x30, known globally as the Campaign for Nature,  is a global campaign we are taking locally that calls on and urges global government leaders to agree to protect at least 30% of the earth’s land and water forms by 2030 during the upcoming Convention on Biodiversity, COP15 Summit, by signing on to the High Ambition Coalition [HAC]. 

WHAT IS THE HAC?

The High Ambition Coalition (HAC) for Nature and People is an intergovernmental group of more than 80 countries championing a global deal for nature and people with the central goal of protecting at least 30 percent of world’s land and ocean by 2030. 

WHY SOUTHEAST ASIA?

Southeast Asia is home to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems, and indigenous people. Unfortunately, it is also home to the highest deforestation rate, a direct cause of the accelerating biodiversity loss. Pushing for environmental conservation led by indigenous people & local communities in our nation should be a top priority if we want to sustain liveable environments for the next generations to come. 

This is why we are taking this global campaign to the local and grassroots level, in order to mobilize those at the frontlines, and save the most vulnerable to the climate crisis. We hope to provide multiple action avenues, through the collaboration of both international and local support.

INDIGENOUS RIGHTS & BIODIVERSITY

We have seen painful effects caused by the wrong type of conservation. 30X30SEA exists in order to explain the intrinsic connection of natural world conservation and the rights of Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities. We cannot save our biodiversity without protecting and empowering Indigenous Peoples Rights.

︎︎︎TAKE ACTION

With the Philippines being 1 out of 17 of the world's megadiverse countries on the planet, we must get our national government to sign on to the HAC for Nature & People, comitting to the 30x30 goal.

JOIN THE COALITION

Individuals, Organizations,
& Governments

We aim to bring the Philippines and the rest of South East Asia to take part and join the High Ambition Coalition, imploring them to commit to the 30x30 target.

We hope to galvanize the youth to encourage our country’s leaders to take measures in regards to protecting our ecosystems, respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, and guaranteeing the overall sustainability of our nations.
