2030 timeline

MILESTONES CELEBRATED

WWF’s 2030 Circle is launched

The first four years delivered impacts including the closing of the elephant ivory trade in China, forest restoration and recovery projects across 22 countries and a reduction in demand for ivory and tiger products

And in 2025 we celebrated 1600km2 priority areas being under effective protection across our SOKNOT landscape

MILESTONES STILL TO REACH

With the support of committed 2030 Circle members like you, we can remain on track to celebrate more milestones over the next five crucial years

2026

5m seagrass seeds across 10ha of coastline planted and sustainably managed by local communities and stakeholders

2027

Populations of elephants and lions are stable or increasing, contributing to improved livelihoods of local communities

2028

35m ha of trees restored globally for the benefit of people, nature, and climate

2029

Evaluate and measure the collective impact across the
2030 Circle funding pillars

2030 END GOALS

Our bold end goals will deliver the change needed to help set our planet on a pathway to recovery - for nature, climate and people

By 2030, overexploitation is no longer a major threat for any
of our focal species, with species previously threatened by
overexploitation stable or recovering

The Southern Kenya – Northern Tanzania (SOKNOT) landscape will be protected and restored, ensuring that 80% of the area maintains healthy ecosystems to help support sustainable social and economic development

Trillion Trees partner landscapes see a significant decrease in
deforestation with a 60% decline in forest loss since 2020, securing >104 gigatonnes of carbon (≈half the carbon stored in the entire Amazon rainforest)

UK land, rivers and seas in Wholescape locations will be
transformed to aid nature recovery, help meet net zero targets and produce sustainable food – in partnership with, and for the benefit of, local communities
