Mapping and monitoring the world’s most important places for biodiversity

As the world finalises negotiations over a new Global Biodiversity Framework at COP15, there is a general consensus to aim for protecting or conserving up to 30% of the planet by 2030. The aim of achieving this percentage is to halt biodiversity loss and start to recover areas for conservation. However, science shows we will only achieve this by focusing our efforts in the right places. Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are globally significant sites that hold a certain percentage of the global population of a species or hold a certain extent of an ecosystem or site of ecological integrity. They can guide where the 30% should be placed in order to protect the right places. <a href="https://medium.com/@WWFWater/mapping-and-monitoring-the-worlds-most-important-places-for-biodiversity-a673d0137d61">Visit Now</a>
