Bending the curve of biodiversity, just published in @nature. What are the 6⃣ actions needed to make it happen? ⬇️ 
1⃣ - Sustainable increases in crop yields.
2⃣ - Trade increases in agricultural goods with reduced trade barriers.
3⃣- Reducing the waste of agricultural goods from field to fork by 50%.
4⃣ - Cutting the share of animal calories in human diets by 50%.
5⃣ - Increasing Protected Area extent to 40% terrestrial coverage, covering important sites for biodiversity and with improved management.
6⃣ - Increasing restoration (reaching about 8% of terrestrial areas by 2050) and landscape-level conservation planning that balances production and conservation objectives on all managed land.

The problem is linked to the global forest transition - we won't bent the #biodiversity curve if we dont bend the #deforestation curve. cell.com/one-earth/full…
And we have not been very good so far at that either. (but there is hope)
Which of these measures do you personally support?
