HOW MUCH NATURE
FOR THE GLOBAL CITIZEN?

Adding up the biologically productive land per capita worldwide of…
 0.25 hectares of arable land,
0.6 hectares of pasture,
0.6 hectares of forest,
and 0.03 hectares of built-up land
…shows that there exist 1.5 hectares per global citizen; and 2 hectares once we also include the sea space.
But not all that space is available to human use as this area should also give room to the 30 million fellow species with whom humanity shares this planet.
