Dear friends,
In 24h, President Macron will open the largest conservation gathering since Covid-19 hit us -- and today Avaaz placed this hard-hitting ad in the Financial Times calling on him to listen to science, to Indigenous wisdom and the youth, and push for a strong Motion 101 to conserve at least half of the planet's lands and seas by 2030 at this week's #IUCNCongress in Marseille, France.

Our survival is at stake. The only leaders that can truly keep us safe, who will ensure the survival of our planet and our children are the ones who listen, listen to science, listen to Indigenous people, listen to women and marginalized communities, and listen to our youth.

This is the moment for real ambition -- and France has a golden opportunity to rise to this challenge.

So let's make this the most viral tweet of the day, with thousands of likes and RTs using the hashtag #IUCNCongress until it's impossible to ignore! Click here to retweet first, then consider writing your own tweet with a personal message:

Here are some tips of what you can say for your own tweet:

  1. Earth is warming faster than we thought. We must conserve at least half of the planet by 2030 to stay below 1.5ºC degrees temperature rise. President @EmmanuelMacron @barbarapompili @b_abba -- will you support #Motion101ForHalf at the #IUCNCongress? 
  2. I urge you @EmmanuelMacron to vote #Motion101ForHalf to conserve at least half the planet at the #IUCNCongress - over one million species could go extinct in the next fifty years if we don't act urgently  
  3. We can't waste time ignoring science President @EmmanuelMacron @barbarapompili @b_abba: #Motion101ForHalf must include protecting and conserving at least 50% of the planet! We can’t compromise with less than that. #IUCNCongress  
  4. Enough of political compromises: @EmmanuelMacron @barbarapompili @b_abba will you back a science-based target during the #IUCNCongress and support #Motion101ForHalf or put the planet's survival in even greater risk? 
  5. Passing Motion 101 to conserve at least half the planet can set a science-based ambition for the rest of the world - science must be the North star. #Motion101ForHalf @EmmanuelMacron @barbarapompili @b_abba  
  6. Use your own words, and don't forget to use the Twitter handles for President Macron and his Minister of Ecological Transition: @EmmanuelMacron @barbarapompili @b_abba and hashtags #Motion101ForHalf #IUCNCongress

When Covid hit the world, we were stranded in a different reality, and the many crises of our time never felt so close to all of us. Our planet is crying for help. We can't allow our governments to go back to "normal". It's time to do all we can to ensure science guides us in these turbulent times, before we lose the planet, and all the incredible life in it.

With hope and determination,

Diego, Marta, Oscar and the entire team at Avaaz
