Hansjörg Wyss – $1 billion for conservation

Wyss Foundation is launching a $1 billion campaign, called the Wyss Campaign for Nature.

The campaign’s goal is to help conserve 30% of the planet in a natural state by the year 2030 by creating and expanding protected areas, establishing more ambitious international conservation targets, investing in science, and inspiring conservation action around the world.

Only by dramatically increasing the capacity of communities, indigenous peoples, and nations to conserve lands, waters, and wildlife can we hope to safeguard the natural world upon which we all depend. …

For example, the Wyss Foundation is providing up to $22 million to help Fundación Flora y Fauna acquire lands to formally establish the Aconquija National Park in Argentina’s Tucumán Province.

Born in Bern, Switzerland, Hansjörg Wyss lives in Wilson, Wyoming.
