Answer to Question 1
In 2010 an international committee met in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, to decide on important strategies for biodiversity in the next few years. Examples of targets listed in this chapter include:
- At least halve and, where feasible, bring close to zero the rate of loss of natural habitats, including forests
- Establish a conservation target of 17 of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10 of marine and coastal areas
- Restore at least 15 of degraded areas through conservation and restoration activities
- Make special efforts to reduce the pressures faced by coral reefs
