Abstract
Next week, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) convenes in Kunming, China, to discuss a new global plan to conserve nature and improve the sharing of its benefits across humankind. If such a plan is successfully implemented, it will mark a turning point in the millennia-long decline of the natural world due to human activity. This prospect has been boosted by the United Nations General Assembly decision to declare 2021-2030 as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (the "Decade"), which aims to prevent, halt, and reverse the degradation of ecosystems across the planet.
