Survey Communicating Conservation Status to Policy: Pros and cons about the 30% protection needs of land, sea and inland waters: https://link.webropol.com/s/conservation30by30

Abstract:

The Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) calls for a whole-of-society approach for urgent and transformative change to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. Concurrently, many EU and UN countries face a serious conservation challenge: How to protect 30 % of land, sea and inland water in the best way and how to fulfil the other Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets?
