Negotiations on a new global biodiversity framework will resume in March in Geneva. One demand in particular ranks very high on the agenda for talks: the “30 by 30” initiative. Its aim is to put 30 per cent of Earth’s surface under protection to halt rampant species extinction. But how realistic and properly targeted is this area-based approach? Julie Zähringer, Professor for Land Systems and Sustainability Transformations at the Wyss Academy and CDE, observes with an eye on global resource use: “Isn’t it more important, and more rational, to tackle the root causes of threats to species-rich areas, instead of the symptoms on the ground?” |
