Harmony with nature Global Ecological Footprint (Global Footprint Network, 2012) Humanity’s Ecological Footprint continues to rise: we need the resources of 1.5 planets to support our lifestyles. 2 Number of Planet Earths READ THE LIVING PLANET REPORT 2012 1 0 1961 1970 1980 1990 2000 2008 Year Coastal East Africa green roaDMap “Our goal of achieving sustainable economic development in Coastal East Africa came closer this year when Mozambique announced a national ‘green economy roadmap’ toward 2030. We worked closely with government ministries and other partners to help develop the roadmap, which outlines Mozambique’s bold plans for eradicating poverty by using its rich natural resources wisely and sustainably. A first step forward came in November when the country approved Africa’s second largest marine protected area around the Primeiras and Segundas archipelago – something we’ve been working toward for eight years.” Florencio Marerua, Country Director, WWFMozambique 1.05M ha siZe of the new priMeiras anD segunDas Marine reserve – one of the worlD’s largest Global Climate & Energy MexiCo CliMate law “In April, Mexico passed a ground-breaking climate law, becoming only the second country (after the UK) to make a legal commitment to cutting carbon emissions. The country will halve its emissions by 2050, by which time it’s expected to be the world’s fifth largest economy. If Mexico can commit to growing a green economy while slashing its carbon emissions, why can’t other countries – like its North American neighbours, the USA and Canada? By working with climate leaders like Mexico, we’re aiming to inspire the global changes needed to build a fair and sustainable low-carbon future.” Samantha Smith, Leader, Global Climate & Energy Initiative Coral Triangle Smart Fishing CoMbating pirate fishing satellite traCKing breaKthrough “The waters of the Coral Triangle are home to the richest marine life and some of the most important fisheries on the planet. But illegal fishing is plundering these resources, putting millions of livelihoods at risk. The second Coral Triangle Fishers Forum, which we hosted this year in Fiji, brought together more than 100 fishing industry participants from 24 countries to look at practical ways of tackling the problem – for example, improving catch documentation and making it easier to trace the source of all seafood.” “We’ve developed a powerful new weapon in the battle against illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing – which accounts for around one-fifth of global fish catches, and is a major cause of the overfishing crisis. By analysing widely available satellite data used to help prevent collisions at sea, we have a much clearer understanding of formerly invisible fishing vessel movements. For example, we could show if illegal fishing may be taking place in marine protected areas. This tool has huge potential, and we’ll be pushing hard to see it used effectively.” Lida Pet Soede, Leader, Coral Triangle Programme 20% 30% MexiCo has pleDgeD to Cut its Carbon eMissions by 30% by 2020 Alfred Schumm, Leader, Smart Fishing Initiative Tuna exports from the Coral Triangle are worth US$1 billion per year illegal fishing aCCounts for arounD one-fifth of global fish CatChes WWF-INT Annual Review 2012 page 23 http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/all_publications/living_planet_report/2012_lpr/ http://wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/where_we_work/coraltriangle/ http://wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/where_we_work/east_african_coast/ http://wwf.panda.org/who_we_are/jobs/?uNewsID=207722 http://wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/footprint/smart_fishing/
