Nature crisis: Talks resume on global plan to protect biodiversity

[UngulateNerd92]

UN negotiators have resumed work on the text of world-wide plan to protect nature and species for the next decade.

The draft Global Biodiversity Framework aims to conserve at least 30% of the world's land and oceans.

It will also push to eliminate plastic waste and cut pesticide use by at least two thirds.

The pact was due to be agreed at a UN biodiversity summit in China this October, but face to face talks have been delayed until April next year..
