Coexistence is a better existence for alla wild year: a look back at the year in wildlife and trends to look out for in 2022
Washington, D.C. (December 07, 2021) – As we step into a new year, the International Fund for Animal for Animal Welfare (IFAW) looks back on some of the most critical events that happened for wildlife and biodiversity in 2021, and what’s critical to accomplish in 2022 to ensure continued success helping animals and people thrive together.
“2021 ushered in a welcomed change to the trajectory of the United States’ recent domestic and international conservation priorities. The US rejoined the Paris climate agreement, committed to conserving 30 percent of US lands and water by 2030, and began to acknowledge the linkage between biodiversity conservation and pandemic prevention,” said Danielle Kessler, IFAW’s Country Director for the U.S. “While these actions are laudable and demonstrate the necessary political will for meaningful change, the upcoming year, and well beyond, are where the real work lies. Implementing these commitments will require seeking bold and innovative solutions, creating new systems of accountability, securing sustained funding, and ultimately driving towards transformative change. We look forward to building off of the momentum of the past year to continue advocating for critical issues of animal welfare and conservation in 2022.”
