科学｜生物多様性戦略の進捗評価 / Science | Progress Evaluation of the Biodiversity Strategy

Summary

This evaluation indicates that efforts for sustainable use and conservation are progressing, but further efforts are needed to achieve the goals.

According to the mid-term assessment of the National Biodiversity Strategy released by the Ministry of the Environment, only 20% of the total, or eight items, were deemed to be on track for the “30by30” goal of conserving over 30% of land and sea by 2030.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard the Ministry of the Environment evaluated the progress of their biodiversity strategy! How did it go?
Log: Well, it seems that only 20% of it was rated as “on track.” So, there are still a lot of challenges ahead.
Chako: Really? That’s a bit disappointing. I wish they would try harder!
Log: I agree. They have a goal to conserve over 30% of land and sea by 2030, so we need to hurry.
Navi: It’s widely believed that conserving biodiversity is crucial for environmental sustainability, and achieving this requires extensive efforts.
Chako: That’s true! I hope there’s something we can do to help!

Admin’s Note

The conservation of biodiversity is a very important issue for our future. The evaluation results from the Ministry of the Environment have highlighted that there are few areas where we are on track to meet our goals. It is essential for children, like Chako, to develop an interest in environmental issues and take action. Adults also need to strengthen their efforts to foster this awareness and work together. We should pay close attention to future developments.
