OneNature’s Well-Being Report<\/h3>\n

This week, we\u2019d like to highlight important messages from our recent report: Advancing Well-Being for All Beings<\/a>, which focuses on assessing and recommending solutions to improve the general well-being of humans, animals, and the planet<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These recent years have seen substantial societal shifts toward emphasizing well-being, valuing wildlife, and engaging Indigenous and local stakeholders as true partners in conservation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These shifts, along with the incentive that the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have created to address pressing societal and environmental challenges, offer all of us a chance for a better future. <\/span><\/p>\n

OneNature aims to build on, amplify, and link these positive developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We firmly believe that creating a more sustainable future for all beings should not be seen as a sacrifice of our current way of life,<\/strong> but serve as an opportunity to realign our behaviors, decisions, and policies around what matters most: a thriving natural world with flourishing well-being for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

We advocate for three key system changes in response to these crises:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A new emphasis on holistic well-being measures<\/strong> instead of exclusively short-term, economic metrics in societal decision-making<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A deeper understanding of the intrinsic, extrinsic, and relational values of wildlife<\/strong> in order to better inform that decision-making<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A reorientation of conservation decision-making and practice<\/strong> in order to center the Indigenous and local communities stewarding the world\u2019s wildlife<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
