Enduring Earth

More than 100 companies, including Unilever, L’OCCITANE Group and Iberdrola have called on governments to enact tougher policies to reach the U.N. goal on halting nature loss by the end of the decade. In a letter shared exclusively with Reuters ahead of the COP16 biodiversity summit talks, 132 companies with combined revenues of $1.1 trillion demanded stronger action. Voluntary corporate action would not be enough alone, said the letter, coordinated by advocacy group Business for Nature which has drawn up policy recommendations. Governments, the letter said, needed to ensure businesses and financial actors protect and restore nature. https://lnkd.in/eeyFrTSB Article (c) Reuters News Agency #business #businessfornature #cop16 #cbd #fornature #sdg #30x30 #conservation #conservationfinance #sustainable #sdgs #sdg

NEW STUDY: 40% of land across 9 Amazonian countries is under some form of conservation management, which is significantly higher than the 28% reported in official records. Large conservation gains came from Indigenous lands, especially where communities have been granted robust land rights. ◽️Why is this data different to past reporting? One reason: the authors gathered data from traditional methods (national parks and nature reserves), scientific papers, AND legal documents and local knowledge to include land managed by Indigenous peoples, community-based natural resource management areas, regions covered by payment for ecosystem services programs and sustainably managed forest production. Indigenous and local Indigenous territories cover 16% of the total land area of the 9 Amazonian countries and community-managed conservation areas adding another 3.5%. "If the forest is still standing, it is thanks to the presence of Indigenous peoples. And today, this is the most important mission of our planet. Because it is a mission that not only guarantees our lives but guarantees the lives of all people,” Txai Suruí, activist of the Paiter Suruí people and coordinator of the Indigenous youth movement of Rondônia, Brazil ▫️Looking forward: As governments work to deliver global conservation targets, a more accurate and inclusive understanding of the extent, diversity, and dynamics of area-based conservation governance systems can help inform the design of socially feasible targets and roadmaps in terms of quantity, location, and forms of conservation. “Knowing who is governing these lands and how, as well as recognizing their visions related to conservation, is the first step to collectively planning for a fair and feasible future for our planet,” Siyu Qin, a lead author of the study, told Mongabay.
