RT @crawhall7: An important development at #COP16 has been the robust presence of people of African descent in Latin America. Large territories, including the Pacific coast are protected by African people, many with a slavery heritage and carriers of traditional knowledge. John Antón Sánchez. https://t.co/1FNdm3SFA5

RT @andersen_inger: $44 trillion in our economy🌎is dependent on nature.

Delighted therefore that today at #COP16Colombia, trade took focus at Trade Day.

I stressed that we cannot keep taking from nature without consequence. We need much greater cooperation on trade, biodiversity and development. https://t.co/WDToydAqcV

RT @WetlandsInt: Mangrove ecosystems are an important indicator of biodiversity health, and critical for climate #mitigation and #adaptation. However, half of all mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse by 2050 due to #climatechange.

“Under the Convention on Biological Diversity, the global community has recognized the importance of biodiversity, not only for its own sake but also for the many ecosystem services and functions it provides for our well-being and survival. In many ways, mangroves are the poster child of the interdependence between people and nature.” @SchomakerAstrid

#COP16Colombia should see greater strides made towards mangrove restoration and conservation to deliver multiple targets of the #GBF.
