The worldwide effort to combat critical levels of biodiversity loss will fail without far greater involvement from local communities, according to an international declaration.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0\u201cEdinburgh declaration\u201d<\/a>, published on Monday, urges leaders to work more closely with sub-national governments, indigenous peoples, national parks, local councils and wider society in meeting\u00a020 biodiversity goals<\/a>\u00a0set out in the Aichi accord, signed in Nagoya, Japan, 10 years ago.<\/p>\n Those targets were due to have been met by 2020. None of them were, leaving global biodiversity in a parlous state, the statement says.<\/p>\n \u201cThe current approach is bust,\u201d said Prof Des Thompson, principal science adviser at NatureScot, Scotland\u2019s conservation agency, which contributed to the declaration process run by the Scottish government. \u201cWhat we need to do is work with local communities, local governments and local communities \u2013 that\u2019s how we\u2019re going to meet those targets.\u201d continued reading The\u00a0Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","format":"standard","news-type":[131],"class_list":["post-12457","news-post","type-news-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","news-type-news"],"acf":{"pkl_story_headline":"Edinburgh declaration calls on leaders to work far more closely with communities","pkl_story_authors":"","pkl_story_image":9427,"pkl_story_video":"","pkl_story_image_credits":"carbonbrief.org","pkl_story_file":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-post\/12457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-post"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news-post"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-type?post=12457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
