The World Is Reviewing Its Biodiversity Report Card Right Now — Here’s Why the Kunming-Montreal Framework Matters
This June (2026), the world is holding up a mirror to its biggest biodiversity promise.
We’re roughly halfway to 2030. The first global progress check on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is happening right now. Some countries are aligning their national plans. But the gaps — especially in finance and real implementation speed — are still massive.
The draft global report is currently open for peer review. This is a rare, short window for scientists, organizations, Indigenous groups, and experts to directly shape the official narrative before it goes to COP17 in October.
If you have expertise or institutional access: submit your comments before June 29. If you don’t: share this. Amplify it. Make sure the pressure doesn’t disappear after the review closes.
The framework isn’t self-executing. It needs eyes on it.
As the peer review of the inaugural draft global report unfolds this June, the world confronts whether its most ambitious post-Aichi…
28 % فقط من الدول قدّمت خططها لحماية الطبيعة.. تراجع عالمي في الالتزامات البيئية
بعد مرور عام كامل على الموعد النهائي الذي حددته الأمم المتحدة لتقديم الاستراتيجيات وخطط العمل الوطنية للتنوع البيولوجي (NBSAPs)، لم تفِ سوى 28% من دول العالم بالتزاماتها، وفق تحليل جديد نشره موقع Carbon Brief. هذا التأخير الواسع النطاق، الذي يشمل دولًا تُعد من بين الأكثر ثراءً من حيث التنوع البيولوجي، يثير مخاوف عميقة بشأن جدية الجهود الدولية الرامية إلى وقف فقدان الطبيعة بحلول عام 2030. اتفاق…
د.فوزي يونس يكتب من الرياض:أسباب اختيار منغوليا لقمة cop17
يختُتم اليوم ١٣ ديسمبر ٢٠٢٤م في الرياض فعاليات الدورة السادسة عشرة لمؤتمر الأطراف لاتفاقية الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة التصحر (COP16) حيث اجتمع قادة وصنّاع سياسات من مختلف أنحاء العالم لمناقشة التحديات البيئية الملحّة مثل تدهور الأراضي والجفاف والتصحر. حيث شهد المؤتمر إطلاق ثلاث مبادرات دولية رئيسية: “شراكة الرياض العالمية” لمكافحة الجفاف باستثمارات تتجاوز 150 مليون دولار والمرصد الدولي لمواجهة الجفاف…
Thank you @robertoochoahe A magic moment taken 2016, Mobula rays. Mobula rays have flat bodies and pectoral fins similar to wings, which makes it easy for them to glide through the water and fly through the air. These rays can launch more than two metres (6ft 6ins) in the air, but their landing is not as graceful with a large splash and a belly-flop back into the water. Closely related to sharks but with long, flat bodies and wing-like pectoral fins, they are ideally suited to swooping through the water yet seem equally at home in the air, so much so that they have earned the name “flying rays”. Mobula rays can reach heights of more than two metres (6ft 6ins), remaining airborne for several seconds, but their landings are much less graceful, creating a loud bang as they belly-flop back into the sea. Caption @respectanimalrights Credit © 🎬 @robertoochoahe Parties to @CITES decided at #CoP17 a year ago on 4 October 2016 to bring the amazing #mobula rays (Mobula spp.) under the CITES protection by including them in Appendix II. Increasing international trade in Mobula gill plates has led to expansion of unsustainable fisheries, which are largely unregulated and unmonitored. As a result, local catch declines of up to 96% for Mobula japanica and 99% for Mobula tarapacana in the Indo-Pacific region have been observed in fished populations over the past ten to fifteen years despite increased directed effort. Small and highly fragmented populations, exceptionally low productivity, and known aggregating behaviour make these species highly vulnerable to exploitation with limited ability to recover from a depleted state. #robertoochoahe #CITES #rays #shark #CoP17 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrNfP9Ho94t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a8i957xrdyv5
#Repost @racingextinction (@get_repost) ・・・ A year ago at #CoP17, the world's governments agreed to give all 8 species of #pangolins, the most trafficked mammals on our planet, the highest level of protection under @CITES. CoP17 ended on 4 October 2016 with a suite of groundbreaking decisions, including the transfer of all 8 species of pangolins (4 in Africa, 4 in Asia) to Appendix I, banning commercial international trade in these species.

#Repost @wwf with @repostapp ・・・ The world’s most important wildlife trade conference starts now. Urgent measures to protect elephants, rhinos, sharks, pangolins and tigers from illegal or unsustainable trade will be on the #CITES agenda...along with lesser known species, like the flapshell turtles and the psychedelic rock gecko. WWF is here at the heart of it all, working to secure the best outcomes for the world’s threatened wildlife. #CITES #CoP17
