Biodiversity: Can we wet aside a third of our planet for
nature?
It's being called
a last chance for nature- 100 countries backing calls to protect
30% of the planet.
The aim is to
reach this goal by 2030 and conserve forests and other vital
ecosystems in order to restore the natural world.
The "30 by 30%"
target is the key ambition of the UN biodiversity summit, COP
15.
But as the talks
in Montreal, Canada, move into their final days, there is division
over this and may other targets.
Scientists have
warned that with forests and grasslands being lost at unprecedented
rates and oceans under pressure from pollution and over-fishing,
humans are pushing the Earth beyond safe limits.
This includes
increasing the risk of diseases, like SARs CoV-2, Ebola and HIV,
spilling over from wild animals into human populations.
Under the proposed
agreement, countries would sign up to targets to expand protected
areas, such as nature reserves.
It draws
inspiration from the so-called "father of biodiversity", the
biologist Edward O Wilson, who called for half of Earth to be
protected.
But there is
debate over how much land and sea to include, handsome scientists
fear the targets may be diluted.
