CANADA – Nearly a third of the planet will be protected by 2030 under a new deal struck at the UN’s COP15 Biodiversity Summit.
The agreement at the COP15 UN Biodiversity Summit in Montreal, Canada, came early on Monday morning.
The group also set targets for protecting vital ecosystems such as rainforests and wetlands and the rights of indigenous peoples.
The summit had been regarded as a “Last chance” to put nature on a path to recovery.
It had been moved from China and postponed due to covid.
China, which was still in charge of the meeting, brought down the gavel on the deal despite a last-minute objection from the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose delegates raised concerns about developed nations’ contributions to fund conservation in developing countries.
