The recognition of the importance of protecting biodiversity seems to be promoted alongside destructive activities in the same areas, the organization says.
In the final agreement of the COP15 Biodiversity Conference in Montreal, which has concluded, Greenpeace, in a statement, welcomes the clear recognition of the rights, territories, role and knowledge of indigenous peoples in the protection of biodiversity, but stresses that the false solutions promoted only serve corporate profits.
As he underlines, the positive developments regarding the recognition of the pivotal role of indigenous peoples, unfortunately, are not enough to cover the failure of the Conference to come up with tools and measures capable of stopping the massive destruction of biodiversity.
The recognition of the importance of protecting biodiversity seems to be promoted alongside destructive activities in the same areas, the organization says.
While sounding the alarm by pointing out that: With this data, protection and commitments are in danger of being left on paper. The goal of protecting at least 30% of land and oceans by 2030 does exist, but it risks remaining an empty number.
Regarding funding for biodiversity protection, according to Greenpeace, $20 billion a year until 2025, and then $30 billion until 2030 is a start, but not enough. There is a $700 billion biodiversity funding gap that is not clear how it will be filled.
The issue is not only how much money will be given, but also how quickly it can be given. Funding needs to be given to developing countries much faster, the organization stresses in its announcement.
