"To slow and reverse the fastest loss of Earth’s living things since the
dinosaurs, almost 200 countries have signed an agreement in Montreal, Canada,
promising to live in harmony with nature by 2050. The Kunming-Montreal
agreement is not legally binding but it will require signatories to report
their progress towards meeting targets such as the protection of 30% of Earth’s
surface by 2030 and the restoration of degraded habitats.

Not everyone is happy with the settlement, or convinced enough has been
promised to avert mass extinctions. Thankfully, research has revealed a lot
about the best ways to revive and strengthen biodiversity – the variety of life
forms, from microbes to whales, found on Earth."
