Protected and conserved areas are vital places are vital for both people and #nature but must almost double in area on land and more than triple in the ocean for the 30% target to be reached.

I celebrated my birthday with family and friends by planting 100 trees as my contribution in restoring degraded areas around the park. This is inspired by my desire to support the global targets to safeguard biodiversity and ensure a healthy planet for people and nature. #bday@35

Thanks to the European Union for this great support and the opportunity to have worked on this. Today is a reminder that hard work, tenacity, and resilience pay off. A milestone for greater opportunities!
