With profound sadness and a lingering sense of shock, The Biodiversity Consultancy family mourns the loss of our very dear friend and colleague James Rose, who passed away suddenly on 22nd February 2023. James was just 37 years old. 🧵

We're in the end-game for the CBD Global Biodiversity Framework. The Presidency have just released the latest version of the text cbd.int/conferences/20…. The target on taking urgent action for threatened species is OK, but Goal A is a largely disaster. Read thread for why

The ZSL delegation at #COP15 calls for an urgent improvement to the draft GBF text. For the recovery of species population abundance and reducing species' extinction risk, we need clear outcomes for 2030 not just 2050. Without 2030 milestones, action is being delayed by 28 years!
