A global conservation agenda is emerging to conserve 30 percent of land and waters by the year 2030 and halt the horrific loss of natural areas and millions of species. Geospatial infrastructure is essential to supporting organizations and indigenous communities working to achieve 30 by 30. This integrating technology provides spatial reference to holistic conservation planning, incorporating community feedback and evaluating scenarios for sustained landscape conservation.
