Leading scientists from academia and conservation representing the International Boreal Conservation Science Panel have written a letter to the Canadian Deputy Minister for Environment and Climate Change raising awareness of the issue of biodiversity loss as evidenced by the IPBES Global Assessment and recommend Canadian leadership in reaching the Convention on Biodiversity protected areas target of 17%, with a particular focus on Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas.
The experts appealed to the positive actions already taken as the Aichi Target deadline nears: "Your government’s positive vision for achieving ambitious biodiversity, ecological, and climate change goals has been an important beacon to the world to show that nations can achieve great things even in today’s troubled times."
