Governments and conservation organizations should take 8 priority actions, says a group of experts led by WCS.
@wcs.orgThe findings offer governments new scientific evidence as they work toward the 30x30 goal. #CBDCOP17 next month will be a key opportunity to take stock of progress toward that and other biodiversity goals.
