The United Nations has issued a new report warning that the world is waging a "war on nature," as progress on global biodiversity targets significantly lags. According to the findings, fewer than half of the national targets established to protect plants, animals, and ecosystems are currently on track.
The warning comes just days before international delegates are scheduled to gather in Yerevan, Armenia, for the upcoming COP17 biodiversity conference. The meeting will serve as a critical forum for countries to address the stalled progress and reassess strategies to halt environmental degradation.
