*[Enwl-eng] Fair conservation funding is needed for all species

[enwl]

                        Funding should not just protect the most-loved 
species.









                        Conservation Funding Is Unfair. Demand Equal Support 
for All Species, Not Just the Popular Ones.

                        A recent study has revealed a shocking imbalance in 
global conservation funding — critically important but less "fashionable" 
species like invertebrates, plants, and smaller mammals receive only a 
fraction of the support they desperately need. This disparity in funding 
accelerates the extinction crisis, with nearly 94% of threatened species 
receiving no support. From freshwater snails to reptiles, these 
often-overlooked species need our protection and urgent funding if we are to 
avoid an irreversible collapse of biodiversity.



                        Sign the petition to urge the United Nations 
Environment Programme (UNEP) to champion fairer, science-driven conservation 
funding for all species.



                        The study, conducted by experts from the University 
of Hong Kong, found that the vast majority of conservation funds — 82.9% — 
are allocated to vertebrates, with a staggering 85% of those funds going to 
birds and mammals. This leaves plants, invertebrates, and other crucial 
species like amphibians and rodents severely underfunded. By shifting the 
focus of global conservation efforts to include all species, UNEP can help 
pave the way for a more inclusive and balanced approach to saving our 
planet's most vulnerable life forms. Sign the petition to demand that UNEP 
lead the charge for a fairer, more equitable distribution of conservation 
funds, ensuring that all species receive the attention and protection they 
deserve.




                 Thank you,
