- Published January 12, 2024 in EcoWatch
A new study has found that much of the land needed to preserve biodiversity and maintain well-being for humans is lacking protections that would prevent development.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that about half of all land on Earth needs sustainable management to protect over 26,000 terrestrial vertebrate species. Further, the research reveals that just 18% of this land needed to meet global biodiversity targets is properly protected. READ MORE.
