What's at stake at crucial UN biodiversity talks? DW 10/21/2024
Briefly

Biodiversity is collapsing as human activities such as fossil fuel burning and intensive farming push ecosystems to the brink, threatening the foundation of healthy ecosystems.
Astrid Schomaker stated, 'If we don't protect our nature, we are actually undermining our economies, we are undermining our agriculture, and we will not be able in future to feed a population of 10 billion people on this planet.'
Nearly 200 nations signed a landmark UN biodiversity deal, aiming to protect 30% of land and sea areas by the end of the decade to assure ecosystem balance.
The decline in biodiversity threatens the social and economic well-being of billions, emphasizing the importance of urgent action from policymakers and stakeholders to track progress.
