Subject: Rescue plan for nature: How to fix the biodiversity crisis (New
Scientist)
To: bioplan <[log in to unmask]>



Dear BIOPLANNERS,



I have been reading New Scientist for almost half a century and they have
rarely featured biodiversity, so I was pleased to see it make the cover
story of this week’s issue, and even more pleased to see that the special
feature is free access.



Here are the URLs to the two articles., the first of which is heavily
hyperlinked and serves as a useful overview of the evidence base for the
negotiations towards CoP15 in China later this year.



*Rescue plan for nature: How to fix the biodiversity crisis

*Ten conservation success stories when species came back from the brink

This is the first in a series of five New Scientist features produced in
association with the United Nations Environment Programme and UNEP partner
agency GRID-Arendal. Part two of the series, on 6 March, will look at the
part our abuse of nature played in unleashing the covid-19 pandemic and,
hopefully, the whole series will be free access.



UNEP is currently hosting the pre-meeting consultations for the 5th UN
Environment Assembly which will be covered by Earth Negotiations Bulletin
and can be followed here

Also, in this week’s Nature journal, long-time UNEP watcher, Maria Ivanova,
has a short (free access) article which recommends that UNEP focus more on
providing all UN agencies with the environmental information they need for
transformative change across all sectors

Finally, a somewhat belatedly, here are the links to the World Economic
Forum Global Risks 2021 report

which show infectious disease rising to top for risk by impact
(biodiversity loss 4th) and pushing biodiversity loss down from 4th to 5th
for risk likelihood.



I am still working my way through the Dasgupta Review and will try to
summarise it for all here soon.



Best wishes



David Duthie
