Introduction
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) represents a collective global agreement to reverse biodiversity loss and ensure ecosystems continue to support human well-being by 2030. This framework sets ambitious targets to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable interactions with nature. This article outlines how the GBF aims to protect biodiversity and how MPAth supports practitioners in marine protected areas to align with GBF’s objectives.
What is the GBF?
The GBF establishes a roadmap for nations to significantly enhance their efforts to conserve natural habitats and species. It outlines specific targets aimed at halting and reversing the decline in biodiversity across the globe. By focusing on effective conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit sharing, the GBF seeks to create a sustainable future where biodiversity thrives.
The Role of MPAth
MPAth serves as an educational and strategic resource hub specifically for marine conservation. It offers a range of resources aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of marine protected area management. These resources are crafted to help practitioners navigate the complexities of marine conservation, supporting the implementation of conservation strategies in line with the GBF.
