New biodiversity indicators will support decisions for species.
“Now we must turn quickly, to taking action with the best available science so decision makers can identify and protect the land and waters that will save global biodiversity.”
As part of the historic Kunming-Montreal agreement at COP15 countries also formally adopted three indicators as means to deliver critical measurements and area-based decision-support to protect biodiversity.
Combining a range of biodiversity observations, remote sensing, and models, the indicators address key questions for each of tens of thousands of species and for each year starting in 2001.
