TL;DR: Coral reefs are the most biologically diverse of shallow water marine ecosystems but are being degraded worldwide by human activities and climate warming, and conservation efforts targeted toward them could help avert the loss of tropical reef biodiversity.

TL;DR: A Global Deal for Nature is proposed—a companion to the Paris Climate Deal—to promote increased habitat protection and restoration, national- and ecoregion-scale conservation strategies, and the empowerment of indigenous peoples to protect their sovereign lands.

TL;DR: Freshwater and marine targets included here extend the GDN to all realms and provide a pathway to ensuring a more livable biosphere.

TL;DR: The “Global Safety Net” shows where nature could be conserved and connected to reverse biodiversity loss and stabilize climate and identifies 50% of the terrestrial realm that, if conserved, would reverse further biodiversity loss, prevent CO2 emissions from land conversion, and enhance natural carbon removal.
