Montreal: At the United Nations Global Summit on Biodiversity (COP-15) in Montreal, Canada, 3.2 million people have signed a petition to protect half of Earth’s biodiversity by 2030.
Countries of the world have also signed an agreement to protect biodiversity. The aim is to save the Earth, which is suffering from climate change, by protecting the habitats that are being destroyed, including land and oceans. The summit, which started on December 7, will end on December 19.
At the summit attended by 196 countries, including India, most countries have pledged to protect 30 percent of land and sea areas. Environmentalists also point out that it is a challenge to prevent species that are disappearing from the face of the earth due to climate change, habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources and epidemics.
