China harbors a high species diversity of freshwater fishes not shared with any its neighboring nations. Freshwater fish in the country has been under severe threat from human activities over past decades, thus conservation and ecosystems is urgently needed. To accumulate baseline data for guiding protection actions, third red list assessment Chinese was carried out. Among assessed, there are 355 at-risk (22.3% total), including 69 ranked as Critically Endangered, 97 189 Vulnerable. Two classified Extinct one Regionally Extinct.

Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals mobilisation substantial resources. While reasons are varied, investments in both research conservation lag far behind those terrestrial marine realms. Inspired by a global consultation, we identify 15 pressing priority needs, grouped into five areas, an effort to support informed stewardship biodiversity. The proposed agenda aims advance globally as critical step improving coordinated actions towards its sustainable management conservation.

Species monitoring, defined here as the repeated, systematic collection of data to detect long-term changes in populations wild species, is a vital component conservation practice and policy. We created database nearly 1200 schemes, ranging start date from 1800 2018, review spatial, temporal, taxonomic, methodological patterns global species monitoring. identified monitoring schemes through standardized web searches, an online survey stakeholders, in-depth national searches sample countries, biodiversity databases. estimated total number operating at 3300-15,000. Since 2000, there has been sharp increase new being initiated lower- middle-income countries megadiverse but decrease high-income countries.

These shortcomings could be addressed by, example, creating open meta-database enhancing capacity high biodiversity.

Achieving a climate-resilient future requires rapid, sustained and far-reaching transformations in energy, land-use, infrastructure industrial systems. Large-scale expansion of renewable energy can play critical role meeting the world’s growing demands fight against climate change. However, even ‘clean’ sources have significant unintended impacts on environment. The guidelines aim to provide practical support for solar wind developments by effectively managing risks improving overall outcomes related biodiversity ecosystem services. They are industry-focused be applied across whole project development life cycle, from early planning through decommissioning repowering, using mitigation hierarchy as clear framework implementation. is direct, indirect cumulative impacts.

Bioeconomy and circular economy approaches are being adopted by an increasing number of international organizations, governments companies to enhance sustainability. Concerns have been raised about the implications for biodiversity. Here, we present a review current research on two determine their relationship each other economic models, impact sustainability with both poorly defined, inconsistently implemented inadequately measured, neither provides clear pathway Many actors promote goals around growth above environmental issues. Biodiversity is often addressed indirectly or inadequately. Furthermore, many traditionally disadvantaged groups, including women indigenous people, may be neglected rarely engage benefit. These challenges compounded capacity gaps legal governance complexities implementation, influenced traditional mindsets approaches. Countries need plan strategies more explicitly biodiversity they impact. Opportunities include relevance timeliness sustainable economics delivering Sustainable Development Goals in post-COVID world, existence work built on, diversity stakeholders already engaged. We propose five main steps ensure Ultimately, can only starting shift establishing focused agenda bioeconomy that puts species, ecosystems wellbeing local people at center.

Many stakeholders, from governments to civil society businesses, lack the data they need make informed decisions on biodiversity, jeopardising efforts conserve, restore and sustainably manage nature. Here we review importance of enhancing biodiversity monitoring, assess challenges involved identify potential solutions. Capacity for monitoring needs be enhanced urgently, especially in poorer, high-biodiversity countries where gaps are disproportionately high. Modern tools technologies, including remote sensing, bioacoustics environmental DNA, should used at larger scales fill taxonomic geographic gaps, tropics, marine freshwater biomes, plants, fungi invertebrates. Stakeholders follow best practices, adopting appropriate indicators using counterfactual approaches measure attribute outcomes impacts. Data made openly freely available. Companies invest collecting required enhance sustainability their operations supply chains. With soon commit post-2020 global framework, time is right a concerted push monitoring.
