Human rights must be at heart of new biodiversity framework, experts say
by Kimberley Brown on 25 May 2021
A new study by the ICCA Consortium, an international association, says human rights must be included in conservation policies to save the world’s vanishing biodiversity.
The study focuses on 17 Indigenous and local communities worldwide, showing how their traditional practices and unique governance systems protect ecosystems and biomes better than states or other bodies.
Researchers insist that human rights be central to the he post-2020 global biodiversity framework expected to be adopted in October at COP15, where world leaders will sign a new 10-year commitment to protect biodiversity in the midst of what scientists call the Earth’s sixth mass extinction.

Domestic Brazilian vehicle sales stood at 527,900 for the first quarter of this year, a decline of 5.4% on the same period in 2020 but down 23% on the previous quarter (Q4 2020), according to the National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (ANFAVEA).
The difference between the last two quarters is bigger than usual and comes after the recovery in sales that happened in the middle 2020. Figures for Q4 reached more than 684,000.
There is also a misleadingly positive 15.7% increase in deliveries when comparing March this year (189,400) with the same month in 2020 (163,500). The increase this year is down to the fact that the coronavirus stopped deliveries in the middle of March last year almost completely.
