PROTECT OUR BLUE PLANET FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

Join Shedd Aquarium in asking Congress to protect 30% of habitat by 2030

Aquatic ecosystems are home to more than 80% of the world's biodiversity, from ancient bacteria living in deep ocean vents to colorful coral and waddling penguins.

But this amazing biodiversity is at risk. Research shows 1 million species worldwide are nearing extinction and, although a majority of our blue planet is covered in water, less than 10% is protected. The protections that do exist are shown to stabilize biodiversity and also help fight climate change.

At Shedd, we strongly believe that aquatic wildlife and wild places are worth saving. With fellow conservation organizations, we are calling on world leaders to protect at least 30% of land, sea and freshwater habitat by 2030. This goal of “30 by 30” secures a better future for wildlife, their habitats and humans.

But we can’t do this without you.

Join Shedd and urge Congress to support Senator Tom Udall and Representative Deb Haaland’s “Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature.” Once you do, please encourage your friends to do the same on social media. Every voice counts!

We are so grateful to you. Thank you for protecting our amazing aquatic wildlife!

Your Letter *

Thank you for your work to address the COVID-19 crisis and to help our nation during this challenging time. 
 
I, like Shedd Aquarium, strongly believe that aquatic wildlife and wild places are worth saving. Our efforts of restoring and protecting our nation’s wildlife and wild habitat must continue as the natural world is disappearing at an unprecedented rate.  Scientists agree that this loss of biodiversity poses a grave threat to not only the survival of wildlife but also our clean air and drinking water, communities’ livelihoods and nature’s ability to protect us from natural disasters. 
 
I write to urge you to cosponsor and support Senator Udall and Representative Haaland’s “Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature.” This resolution calls on the federal government to establish a national goal of conserving at least 30 percent of the land and 30 percent of the ocean of the United States by 2030. This goal of "30 by 30" aligns with the scientific recommendations to address the current extinction, climate and biodiversity crises.

We urge you to address America’s nature crisis by adopting strong, inclusive, and ambitious plans for protecting and restoring the country’s natural lands, waters, and wildlife for generations to come. 
 
Thank you for protecting our amazing aquatic wildlife!

Sincerely,
