Das pathos has nothing to do with it Mont­real Made it to Germany, not for now, it might still be needed.

On the other hand, the Federal Environment Ministry’s draft for a new national biodiversity strategy, which was presented on Thursday afternoon, prosaically states that all habitats, including the species that live in them, are to be placed “in good ecological condition” by 2030.

This is in line with the central goal of the Montreal Convention on Conservation of Nature, which is to halt the decline in species around the world and initiate the restoration of ecosystems over the next seven years. But at the latest when everyone realizes that this doesn’t just mean restoring a few rivers and letting a few forests run wild, it will need an overarching narrative thread, maybe even a convincing vision of why all this has to be.
