The Cop16 UN biodiversity summit, bringing together 190 countries, aims to address the urgent need for global biodiversity protection amidst rapidly declining wildlife populations.
Colombia's goal is for this summit to be the most inclusive in history, ensuring representation from all sectors, including Indigenous peoples and local communities.
Environmental authorities led by Indigenous groups will be established, addressing historical injustices and empowering local communities to take charge of ecosystem protection.
While optimism surrounds the summit, some civil society members express skepticism regarding genuine inclusion and effectiveness, especially in regards to the proposed 'green zone'.
