I love “more nature and more biodiversity at the end of the decade than at the start”. Should indeed be our goal. Thanks Marco!
For nature, net-zero is not enough. We have lost so much & nature can bounce back As crucial negotiations for a GlobalBiodiversityFramework resume,our Global Goal for Nature has to be #NaturePositive More #nature & #biodiversity by the end of the decade than at its start #COP15
