Rights-based approaches in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

By Ghanimat Azhdari

It is with deep sadness and respect for our friend and colleague Ghanimat Azhdari that we publish this blog post she was working on before she died earlier this year. This month we remember her contributions at the CBD meetings held a year ago in Montreal, Canada and continue to honour her legacy.

Indigenous-led conversation can help us reverse the decline of species at risk of extinction in Canada

By James Snider, WWF-Canada VP Science, Knowledge and Innovation

In Canada, our recent focus has largely been on Aichi Target 11: protecting 17 per cent of our land and inland waters, and 10 percent of our marine areas. The Government of Canada has additionally stated an ambitious goal of protecting 25 percent by 2025 and 30 percent by 2030. It’s a bold move that should be applauded, but to be meaningful — that is, to ultimately stop and reverse the trends of wild loss underway in Canada — we need to look beyond area-based targets alone.
