50% of the Earth Protected, Sustainable Energy and Food Security worldwide

"What would the world look like in which biodiversity was properly valued... It would be magical. Primary rainforest, old-growth temperate forest, intact wetlands and natural grasslands would suddenly become the most valuable real estate on earth! The owners of these wild lands would be rewarded for continuing to protect them. Deforestation would immediately halt... We would find ways to use pure wilderness without reducing its biodiversity or its ability to capture carbon... and there would be a great drive to expand and regenerate all lands that adjoin pristine wilderness... All incentives are set to bring about a much wilder world by the end of this century than there was at the beginning. Skeptics need only to look at Costa Rica to understand what is possible... A century ago, more than three-quarters of Costa Rica was covered with forest... by the 1980s, uncontrolled logging and the demand for farmland had reduced the country's forest cover to just one-quarter... In just 25 years, the forest has returned to cover half of Costa Rica once again... Just imagine if we achieved this on a global scale. A study from 2019 has suggested that the return of the trees could theoretically absorb as much as two thirds of the carbon emissions that remain in the atmosphere from our activities... Creating wild lands across the Earth would bring back biodiversity, and the biodiversity would do what it does best: stabilize the planet."
