There’s an unfortunate typo on the 4th page of the English pdf I have downloaded , where “tipping points” reads as “tipping ppints”
Hope this can be fixed
It’s a vital document, in the true sense of the word

I fully support the Message from Merida. The wild territories are an essential part if we want a future for the next generations, and this has to be addressed at global scale.

My ranching colleagues and I fully support this message. Our ranches are certified internationally as organic, and we maintain our wildlife and fish habitat. Our ranches are set aside as land trusts that cannot be broken up in response to pressure to subdivide.
