"There's a treasure trove of ways to save species in decline, and restore their
habitats so they can live safely. In a healthy state, rich and biodiverse
habitats can replenish our water, air, soil and reduce the risk of dangerous
contagious diseases.
A major study revealed this year that conservation efforts are generally
effective at reducing global biodiversity loss. International researchers spent
10 years assessing conservation measures, including the establishment of
protected areas, habitat restoration and eradicating invasive species. They
found that in most cases (66%) these measures improved the state of
biodiversity or slowed its decline.
The need for conservation projects like these is growing in urgency. Two years
ago, leaders of more than 100 nations signed up to the most ambitious
international effort to save the world's nature: to protect 30% of the world's
land and oceans by 2030. In October 2024, world leaders have again gathered to
take stock of the global progress to protect biodiversity, in Cali, Colombia.
So far, the world is a long way off track: just 17% of land and 8% of our
oceans are under some form of designated protection, according to The Nature
Conservancy – though the area where protection is enforced effectively is
likely less.
Future Planet brings you five proven ways it's possible to restore
biodiversity and preserve nature."
