A global agreement to reverse the loss of nature and halt extinctions is inching closer, as talks in Geneva enter their final day.
International negotiators are working on the text of a UN framework to safeguard nature ahead of a high-level summit in China later this year.
Divisions remain, including over financing the plans.
The draft text contains the aim to increase finance to at least US $200bn a year by 2030, with funding from developed to developing countries to increase by at least US $10bn a year.
"Resource mobilisation at this meeting has become a thorny issue," Ghanaian academic Alfred Oteng-Yeboah, who has played a key role in international efforts to protect biodiversity, told the news agency, AFP.
One of the key ambitions is to turn 30% of Earth's lands and seas into protected areas by 2030. A recent UN climate report underlined the importance of conserving at least 30% of the planet to achieve biodiversity and climate goals.
Another goal is to ensure that, by 2050, a "shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled".
Scientists have issued repeated warnings about threats to nature driven by human actions, including chopping down forests and turning natural land over to farming.

Is that what the U.N. is for? I thought it was to stop wars and genocides. But that didn’t seem to matter in Rwanda, or when they took millions of dollars from Sadam Hussein to ignore his mass murders.
Developing countries are where all the environmental problems are. Make them pay. China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Africa....
Extinctions have been occurring since the beginning of time. To try to stop them is truly attempting to mess with nature.
China has long past being a developing country, including being significant at stealing intellectual property.
Sure... The UN is going to China to talk about "Biodiversity".
How many diverse ways can you change the DNA of a plant or an animal, or maybe a human for that matter, before you get a real monster.....
Itβs not nice to fool Mother Nature. ππ

Biodiversity means population reduction with the remaining population crammed into cities.
Plants are gay now?
This will not save nature. It will obliterate it. There is now 75% of the land mass of the earth uninhabited.
They plan to take away 30% of inhabited land. Farming and mining will be hardest hit. This will lead to starvation of masses of people who will be forced to plunder uninhabited land for basic sustenance.
What is most impressive is the arrogant stupidity of the elite morons who dream up these obscenities.
