The South African delegation has agreed in principle to the 30×30 target, but have raised ongoing concerns, particularly about accessing the resources needed to achieve the 30% target. @GreenTimes @WILDOCEANSSA @WILDLANDSSA @ConservOutcomes thegreentimes.co.za/a-long-road-ah…

FRIDAY READ: The CBD should have been the arena for countries to come together to table national positions, air concerns & offer compromises & solutions. Instead, it looks as though we have come away with a text that requires significant amounts of work. thegreentimes.co.za/a-long-road-ah…

A recent study presents a multi-objective solution that could lead to the protection of 89% of the ocean's Representative Biodiversity Areas while maintaining access to fishing grounds that provide 89% of the global catch. #30x30NOW phys.org/news/2022-03-o…

COP15 is now two years delayed, meaning we have lost two years of a ten-year plan to protect nature. During the recent Convention on Biological Diversity, the SA🇿🇦 delegation agreed in principle to 30x30, but raised on-going concerns. READ ON: thegreentimes.co.za/a-long-road-ah…

There is no time for inching forward. Africa is one of the most biodiverse continents in the world, home to five of the world’s 20 megadiverse countries. But Africa could lose up to 30% of its animal and plant species by the end of the century. mg.co.za/special-report…

There was strong support for a central pillar of the planned nature pact: to conserve at least 30% of the planet’s land and oceans by 2030 In addition, stronger language was added on recognising the rights of indigenous people and communities. #30x30NOW businesslive.co.za/bd/world/2022-…

Global @UNBiodiversity meetings in Geneva ended without consensus, but the work must go on ! We hope to see increased efforts and ambition in Nairobi in June 2022, and of course at #COP15 in Kunming 🇨🇳 WE ARE #UnitedforBiodiversity 🦋🌳🌏

The CBD negotiations are nearly at a close! However we’re still waiting to see the final outcomes One of the key themes has been the importance of ensuring that Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities (IPLCs) are at the heart of efforts to protect nature. #30x30NOW
