A couple of words on the biodiversity treaty negotiated in Montreal. #COP15montreal
It could have failed completely so an agreement is a good step.
However, it is not legally binding and therefore different from Paris Agreement. 1/x

It is also not the first such agreement though many news outlets claim that..
In 2010 in Aichi 20 quite good targets were set, however, none of them were achieved until 2020.
Similar to climate treaties the problem is implementation not primarily targets. 2/x

Public focus mainly on one target to protect 30% of the Earth' surface. Without stopping the drivers of biodiv loss this alone will be insufficient.
Logically, agribusiness, overfishing, pollution etc must be greatly reduced everywhere not only in "protected areas".

Yesterday at #COP15montreal we had a side event on #GeneticDiversity and how to monitor it WITHOUT genetic data, so that it can be included it in the goals & targets. People wanted to know more, so here you have a summary THREAD! @GEOBON_org @gbike_cost @CoalitionConGen
First of all, what the hell is #GeneticDiversity? It is the variations within individuals and populations of a species. Or as @LindaLaikre put it: genetic diversity is the toolboox for evolution, adaptation and survival of species.
Loss of #GeneticDiversity can have similar effects as loss of species. Therefore #GeneticDiversity within species is as important as species diversity! --@LindaLaikre
📢Aquests dies té lloc la #COP15montreal sobre la #biodiversitat. Hem d'insistir que no podrem aturar les tendències negatives sense un abordatge sistèmic, que corregeixi radicalment el model malbaratador actual ▶️Recull de 7 enfillals dedicats a la biodiversitat de Catalunya⤵️
1) Com és que a Catalunya no haguem pogut aturar ni frenar el greu declivi de la biodiversitat? Per què encara estem destruint biodiversitat en tants d'àmbits ? (de forma inconscient, irresponsable, cert, però no pas innocent)▶️ ⤵️
2) És veritat que la #biodiversitat segueix patint un greu declivi a casa nostra? En quins ambients o grups el declivi és més greu? Com es mesura? Vegeu l'enfilall dedicat a l'Informe sobre l'estat de la Natura de Catalunya 2020 👉 ⤵️
