More than <strong>75 percent of terrestrial ecosystems<\/strong> and about <strong>66 percent of marine ecosystems<\/strong> are already showing signs of human degradation, and more than 85 percent of wetlands have been lost, according to data from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (<a href=\"https:\/\/files.ipbes.net\/ipbes-web-prod-public-files\/2020-02\/ipbes_global_assessment_report_summary_for_policymakers_es.pdf\">IPBES).<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>This degradation directly threatens biodiversity: around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/blog\/2019\/05\/nature-decline-unprecedented-report\/\"><br \/>\n  <strong>one million<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a><strong> species of fauna and flora are threatened<\/strong>. Deforestation, pollution of rivers and seas and changes in land use are the main causes, so they could become extinct in the coming decades if habitat loss is not stopped. <\/p>\n<p>But the degradation of natural habitats also puts people&#8217;s well-being and health at risk, as it reduces the capacity of ecosystems to provide us with ecosystem services and resources, such as clean water, clean air and food. Around <g id=\"gid_0\">3.2 billion people<\/g> in the world depend on ecosystems at risk for their livelihoods and livelihoods. Soil degradation, for example, already affects <strong>40% of the earth&#8217;s surface<\/strong>, compromising global food security.  <\/p>\n<p>To address this situation, ambitious goals are being promoted to restore ecosystems and conserve biodiversity. One of the most prominent is the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which seeks to reverse this situation by restoring <strong>30% of degraded ecosystems <\/strong>and effectively protecting at least <strong>30% of the planet&#8217;s land and marine areas<\/strong> by 2030. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":97868185,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97868186","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
