Locking down nature in order to liberate it
Thereโs a serious campaign underway to have 30 per cent of the Earth designated as a giant conservation area. The target date is 2030.
But thatโs just the start. The scientists and environmentalists involved in the plan want to eventually lock down half the planet. Itโs about protecting habitats and biodiversity.
Cost and logistics are primary considerations. But they arenโt the only ones. Other issues at stake include increasing poverty and indigenous rights.
