According to Protected Planet and the One Earth Global Safety Net, Only around 17 to 18 percent of terrestrial land is being formally protected, and only 9 to 10 percent of marine habitats.
Not much progress since E.O. Wilson called for saving half of the Earth a decade before.

It adopted the 30 by 30 approach as state law and developed some of the strongest possible standards for adopting nature-based solutions.
By 2026, California had conserved 27% of lands and nearly 22% of coastal waters.
