Nairobi (AFP) – Wealthy countries should provide at least $60 billion every year to the world's poorest nations to combat biodiversity loss, an alliance of environment groups said Tuesday.
The appeal by WWF, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and other green groups was launched on the sidelines of a major UN environment meeting in Nairobi.
It comes ahead of key talks for a UN biodiversity summit to be held in China that will see nations hammer out conservation targets for the next decade.
The $60 billion (53.67 billion euros) would address "the disproportionate impact of wealthy country consumption habits on biodiversity," the signatories said in a joint statement.
"Wealthy nations are driving much of the loss of nature in developing countries through imported goods and have a responsibility to address this impact," said Brian O'Donnell, director of Campaign for Nature.
An boost in financial assistance should go hand in glove with an end to public and private investment that damages the environment, said Marco Lambertini from WWF.
"It is feasible. It requires political will to make it happen," Lambertini said of the $60 billion target.
"It is not a tax for biodiversity. This is an investment" and made clear business sense, he added.

Let the far lefties start a GoFunMe account for them. The libs will send them 60B in no time.
At that point why not just buy the land and hold it as a nature reserve
And of course these groups will “administer” the money = pocket it themselves with the Big Guy getting his 10%.
Send them birth control.
I only need $5 billion a year for me to do my part to “protect nature”.
Just for sh*ts and giggles, I’d get all the climate change celebrities together and the environmental elites and have them raise the money. They won’t give it up willingly, for sure. But, enough for one country. $60,000,000,000
But, you get the money one way or another and tell them that it’ll all go to one country as an experiment. No oversight. Nothing.
They’d be screaming bloody murder that no one is watching that money and where it’s being spent.
That’s one of the reasons they love pushing the government to spend the money. There is no oversight. All the business goes to friends and family. A kickback here and there and, VOILA, we saved the world but we need more money because there wasn’t enough the first time around.
Talk to Bill Gates, George Soros and the other socialists who claim to care about global climate whatever.
they should have a bake sale
So this is what NATO is defending against Putin?
The support of destructive environmental practices creating products of interest to more wealthy nations is a problem that can be overcome. The solution is to monetize the preservation of unique biotopes. Such is the case with a variety of unique environments in poorer countries which are sustainably harvesting plants and animals of interest to those in other countries. Banning these creatures has produced their demise. Pouring government money into simply trying to preserve such environments have limited success. Providing income for indigenous people to sustainably harvest the produce of their homeland guarantees their protection.
Have none of these assclowns watched “Life After People” on the history channel? Sheesh. Muvver erf will be just fine without us and hardly a trace of us will remain. :>}
And after it ends up in various pockets, 60 billion will buy a bag of birdseed.
We can certainly balk at how the third world countries are lined up to get wealthy by Climate change.....off everybody else. But it’s going to go down because it’s what the NWO is using to get nations on one page.
This is what safari tags and private business conservation are for. Government money will only go to massive corruption.
How long until the US is deemed the only rich country and every other country is deemed poor?
One of my favorite statements from Trump is when he chastised the UN for treating China as a “developing nation” on things like climate restrictions, when China is the 2nd largest economy in the world.
Obviously just a way to take money from “rich” (productive) countries and give it to “poor” (indolent nonproducer) ones.
$60 billion. Not a trillion? They are really slipping!
