30×30 Progress Tracker

30×30 is a global movement to protect 30% of the world’s lands and waters by 2030. This target has been formally adopted by nearly every country on Earth, and governments, NGOs, and local communities around the world are working together to make it a reality.

The 30×30 Progress Tracker is an easy way for anyone interested in the 30×30 movement to participate in tracking, planning, and advocating for progress toward meeting the 30×30 goal.

What are we building?

With only a few years left between now and 2030, the world is pushing hard to preserve our vital ecosystems. Biodiversity conservation is moving faster than ever, and a host of new organizations, tools, and campaigns are emerging every day. Even for conservation professionals, it can be hard to keep up. And for anyone new to 30×30, it’s hard to know where to start.

We are building the 30×30 Progress Tracker to unify these tools and information streams in a single location that provides an accessible entry point for getting informed and engaged in 30×30. We want visitors to be able to quickly answer three questions at a global and national level:

  • How is the world progressing toward 30×30?

    To answer, we provide an interactive map showing current progress and commitments at a glance.

  • How much more of our lands and waters do we need to protect to reach the 30% goal?

    To answer, users are able to add hypothetical protected areas to the map to better understand what’s required to get to 30% protection.

  • How can I learn more about 30×30, get involved, and take action?

    To answer, we provide a knowledge hub where 30×30 resources can easily be found.
