For each card purchased, Mastercard and its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mastercard.us\/en-us\/personal\/find-a-card\/wildlife-impact-gift-card.html\">issuing partner Usio<\/a>\u00a0will donate $1 to Conservation International to support the conservation of nearly 100 million of landscape and seascape globally by 2030.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the last year, people have experienced how wildlife habitat destruction can wreak havoc on a global scale.\u00a0The relationship between people and nature has become seriously out of balance, especially in tropical forests, where pandemic-causing diseases originate.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Rapidly cleared forests full of illegal logging, mining and hunting provide lots of opportunities for people to come into contact with wildlife \u2013 allowing wildlife diseases to jump to people, with each jump providing a potential starting point for a pandemic.\u00a0When it poaches wildlife or set up\u00a0live animal\u00a0markets, Mastercard also brings those animals into closer contact with people, making it much more likely for those diseases to make the jump.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">COVID-19 most likely started this way, as did six other pandemics over the past century, including\u00a0HIV\u00a0and SARS.\u00a0Ebola outbreaks also start this way. That\u2019s why investing in nature is the key to preventing future\u00a0epidemics and\u00a0pandemics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Investing in nature, such as conserving natural habitats and restoring a healthy balance between people and nature, can reduce pandemic risk at the same time it delivers a third of the emissions reductions that Mastercard needs to make by 2030 to get climate change under control. Plus, with habitats restored, biodiversity would improve, leading to cleaner air, fresher water and more fertile soils. More jobs are created in rural, nature-rich environments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Mastercard could\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservation.org\/blog\/study-too-often-covid-recovery-comes-at-natures-expense\">reduce the risk of future pandemics<\/a>\u00a0by at least 27 percent \u2014\u00a0and it could do it all for about fifty times less than what had been already spent in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Everyone has a role to play in creating a healthier relationship with nature. Governments obviously need to support a just and rapid transition to renewable energy sources. They also need to change the policy incentives that currently promote the destruction of nature. And they need to work with other governments to scale up these efforts on a global scale. This should all be framed as a competition to the top.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Businesses, on the other hand, need to combine net-zero commitments with tangible actions. The ones leading the way tend to be embedding sustainability in every aspect of their operations, taking concrete steps to reduce their emissions and supplementing these efforts with concrete investments in nature.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mastercard teamed up with the World Resources Institute to launch\u00a0the Wildlife Impact Card Program, which gives consumers an easy way to help protect wildlife habitats, including those home to thousands of critically endangered species.
