To the G7 and world leaders:

We global citizens are deeply concerned by scientists warning that ecosystems critical to sustaining life on Earth could collapse in our lifetimes. We call on you to meet existing targets to protect biodiversity, forge a new agreement so that at least 50% of our lands and oceans are protected and restored, and ensure our planet is completely sustainably managed. This must take into consideration the needs of human development and have the active support of indigenous peoples. This long-term goal for nature can restore harmony with our home.

G7 and world leaders: Fix this extinction crisis
We just found out that vaquitas -- super-cute "mini-dolphins" that live off the coast of Mexico -- probably won't survive.We've been fighting for them, but there are now only 12 left, down from 30 last year!

It’s not just the vaquitas that are being driven into oblivion. A sixth mass extinction is currently underway and humans are almost entirely to blame. By 2020, two-thirds of wild animals will have disappeared in 50 years.

Scientists say the solution is to protect half the planet, letting nature recover and restore itself -- but our governments are dragging their feet because this crisis, and its solution, isn't at the top of headlines! We have to change that.

But we now have a small window to help change that: the upcoming G7 summit in Canada, where our ocean's health is on the agenda. Sign the global campaign for nature -- we'll use the G7 media spotlight to hold a vigil for the vaquitas in their darkest hour and tell the story we need ​our leaders to ​hear.
