We have a chance to halt biodiversity loss. The stakes have never been higher

Negotiations over a 10-year agenda for nature are about to begin. Our ecological future depends on the engagement of every global citizen

The year 2020 has been designated a "super year for nature", when the global community will rededicate itself to halting biodiversity loss with a 10-year action agenda, scheduled for agreement at the conference of the parties to the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) in Kunming in China in October.

On 13 January we published an initial "zero" draft of an action framework, which will be considered at negotiations being held in Rome from 24 February.
