Encroaching energy, mine concessions threaten protected ecosystems, research shows
What the source reported
Source-reportedMillions of hectares of protected tropical ecosystems are at risk from overlapping mining concessions and oil and gas blocks, researchers said on Thursday, potentially weakening a global treaty aimed at conserving 30% of the world's land, freshwater and oceans by the end of the decade. The research, led by US environment group Earth Insight, was released ahead of a new round of UN biodiversity talks scheduled to get underway in Yerevan, Armenia on October 18.
