But others question the mentality of those trying to enforce it — even if it looks good on paper. Lakpa Nuri Sherpa, who is from Nepal, and represents Treaty of Indigenous Peoples of Asia, questioned whether a “top-down” approach involving 30×30 would work unless those who did it radically changed their approach towards natives. “That’s the problem because the solution comes from the top, and they don’t really know the facts on the spot, and the ‘solution’ doesn’t become the solution,” he said, adding that it is important It is important that IPLCs be treated with trust and respect, with a “true spirit of cooperation”.
For Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, 30×30 is a key part of a successful agreement to protect critical ecosystems and promote Indigenous-based conservation models, especially in countries around the world. as big as Brazil, Russia and China. He said that his country is starting a “reconciliation story” with natives.
In November 2021, a The study contains maps of ecosystems that humanity must not be destroyed to meet climate goals, including the boreal forests and vast peatlands of Russia, China and the United States as well as the rainforests of the Amazon, Basin Congo and Indonesia. These areas contain 139 billion tons of “non-renewable” carbon and researchers say this is where the effort should be concentrated 30×30.
There are more and more coalitions around the protection of these ecosystems. At COP27, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia announced a coalition of the Big Three rainforests and said it would coordinate at the United Nations climate and biodiversity talks on conserving them. The incoming president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has said that he will convene an all-Amazon meeting on conservation of the area while he is in office. Suggested Indigenous groups a protected area to cover the world’s largest tropical forestsequivalent to the size of Mexico, created by 2025 at the last biodiversity summit in 2018, a goal called 80 times 25.
Campaign for nature is pushing to preserve at least 30% of its land and sea by 2030, seeing it as an important milestone, with director Brian O’Donnell describing it as a “floor not a ceiling”. O’Donnell says the world should be moving towards 50 percent, an important step towards achieving Harvard biologist EO Wilson’s Vision protect half of the planet for the long-term survival of humanity. When it comes to areas that need to be conserved, it must include those areas that are most rich in biodiversity, with connections between them to avoid island conservation, he said.
But another point of contention in the goal is whether every country has to defend 30×30 or is it a global goal (i.e. the Netherlands can’t do it, but countries like Brazil can do more). position). In this case, richer countries with less biodiversity should pay poorer, more biodiverse countries to not destroy their nature, as they are international assets as well. like country.
Some countries are asking developed countries how they can not cut down their forests like rich countries have done in the past. In the opening statement at COP15, the group of super diverse countriesincluding Brazil, India and South Africa, said the 30% target would require substantial technical and financial support.
