About Campaign for Nature
Campaign for Nature (CfN) is a global initiative dedicated to securing the protection and conservation of at least 30% of the world's land and oceans by 2030. We work with governments, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, scientists, conservation organizations, and philanthropic partners to achieve ambitious conservation commitments.
