More than a million species are on track to go extinct in the coming decades. 

Did you know that there's an important global treaty to conserve biological diversity, and the United States is the only major country that's not a member? In the midst of the extinction crisis, that's unacceptable.

Created in 1992, the convention is the primary international agreement to conserve biological diversity. Its mission is to protect the planet's rich array of life and ensure sustainable, equitable use. The United States helped develop the treaty, but the Senate never ratified it.

Currently we're the only major country that isn't a party to the convention — a shocking failure that needs to be remedied.

This year the convention meets to set the global conservation agenda for the coming decade. With more than a million species on track to go extinct, this meeting is critical to saving life on Earth.

The United States must participate in the meeting to call for an end to human-induced extinction — but if the President Biden doesn't take action, we'll be on the outside looking in. 

Sign the petition to tell President Biden ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity and commit to ending extinction now.
