A world with more nature is a beautiful goal. Ancient forests protect the richness of life both above and below the ground. Bees and butterflies hum over fields of wildflowers, rivers teem with fish that flow into oceans full of unseen life.
Two years ago, at COP15 in Montreal, 196 governments agreed on the most ambitious framework on biodiversity ever created: the Global Biodiversity Framework, which includes a clear goal for 2030: “To halt and reverse nature loss, putting nature on the path to recovery.”
This global goal is simple — by the end of this decade, we should have more biodiversity than we did at the start. One of the major challenges now is finding ways to measure the restoration of nature to know whether we’re succeeding.
Ultimately, it’s about all of us being involved in restoring nature. What truly matters is seeing biodiversity thrive—fish, butterflies, bees, and countless birds. Only then can we be sure that our mitigation strategies are working, and that both the economy and well-being can continue to grow.
