Nearly 200 countries are hoping to halt a decline in global biodiversity at this week's Convention on Biological Diversity meetings. Referring to the international deal that created the same for greenhouse gases, advocates say they're hoping for a 'Paris moment.'
If global biodiversity -- the subject of a huge international meeting in Montreal this week -- is too much of a mouthful, try thinking instead about the white-throated sparrow.
"What happened in Paris was pretty much every country agreed there was a climate crisis and they had to take action," said Mary MacDonald of the World Wildlife Fund.Evidence that such a moment is required is not scarce. As nature thins, so does its ability to provide humans with everything from clean water to pollinated crops. So does its ability to help with climate change, something the federal government is counting on to help meet its greenhouse gas targets.
But federal Environment Minister Stephen Guilbeault said four of them would be enough for something Parisian.
