An historic agreement to protect the natural world was approved by about 190 nations in Canada on Monday in a bid to stop the alarming loss of biodiversity.
Among the 23 targets detailed in theagreement are a pledge to protect 30 percent of the planet’s oceans and land by 2030. “This is a huge moment for nature,” Brian O’Donnell, director of the Campaign for Nature coalition said of the agreement. “This is a scale of conservation that we haven’t seen ever attempted before.
” The deal comes after two weeks of intense negotiations to approve the ambitious 30 percent target—known as “30x30”—along with other aims such as reforming $500 billion of subsidies which harm the natural world, like those given to fossil fuel industries, and a pledge to increase funding for biodiversity in developing nations.
