Biodiversity and the 30x30 goal: A visual analysis of our impact on the planet

Biodiversity_Visual Story_cover

 

Biodiversity is the invisible network that underpins life on Earth, and its loss poses a threat not only to the environment but also to global economies, food security, and social stability. With the 30x30 target, which aims to protect 30% of our planet by 2030—a crucial step towards building a sustainable future—businesses are being called upon to take concrete action.


We have combined Data Storytelling and Data Visualization to explore the state of global biodiversity and track progress towards this goal. Our Visual Story, created on Tableau, offers an interactive experience that helps to better understand the connections between human actions and the urgent need to protect biodiversity.


Explore the Visual Story to discover:

  • Biomes and global biodiversity: uncover the distribution of terrestrial biomes and the richness of species in each region, highlighting the most biodiverse areas and the most vulnerable.
  • Species distribution: see where species are located around the world, with a focus on those at risk, to identify areas in need of urgent protection.
  • Human impact on ecosystems: examine how human activity is impacting biodiversity by comparing regions with high human pressure to protected areas.
  • 30x30 target and protected areas: track global progress in safeguarding 30% of the planet, highlighting countries that are ahead and those that need to ramp up their efforts.

 

Through our expertise, we can tell and visualise data that not only raises awareness but also drives change.
