The loss of habitat for economic activities and other human needs continues to have negative impacts on wildlife, biodiversity and the traditional lands and waters of Indigenous peoples as well as worsening our climate crisis.
Nature-based solutions combat that crisis by protecting habitats and expanding natural carbon sinks like oceans, forests, peat bogs, and wetlands. This also prevents wildlife loss and provides resilience against climate impacts such as sea-level rise, river flooding, extreme fire weather and desertification.
