What’s holding back biodiversity conservation?

COP16 is in full swing in Cali, Colombia, with nearly 200 countries gathering to shape new action plans for biodiversity conservation. We caught up with Doreen Robinson, the Head of Biodiversity and Land at UN Environment Programme and Linda Krueger, Director of Biodiversity and Infrastructure Policy at The Nature Conservancy, to get a feel for the atmosphere and insights from the convention. Plus, we spoke with Professor Xie Yi of Beijing Forestry University specializing in wildlife conservation and human-wildlife conflicts to explore China’s biodiversity efforts over the past two decades.
