The Evil Quartet
Free public lecture part of the series World Biodiversity in Crisis
At the Nagoya Conference in November 2010, governments agreed challenging targets: to at least halve the loss of natural habitats, increase both land and sea areas designated as nature reserves, and increase aid budgets for this. But the 2002 Rio target to slow biodiversity loss by 2010 was not achieved and the present rate of extinction is believed to be as great as that in the five periods of mass extinction in the geological record. What must we do to halt the loss? In this series we ask what causes the losses and what more is needed to meet international targets?
