New UN study says increasing sustainability is vital to livelihoods of billions of people in developed and developing countries
sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the study offers insights into how humans can more sustainably use resources from ecosystems, drawing on more than 6,200 sources, about 200 contributing authors and holders of Indigenous and local knowledge, with a summary approved this week by 139 countries in the German city of Bonn.
The report also highlights lessons from sustainable practices around the world. The authors point to the early Dr Marla Emery, who co-chaired the assessment, said: “Half of humanity uses and benefits from the use of wild species. Their sustainability is essential for biodiversity conservation, and for human wellbeing.
The use of wild species is also an important income source for millions of people. Before the pandemic, protected areas received 8 billion visits a year and generated $600bn annually. The legal trade in wild plants, algae and fungi is a billion-dollar industry.of Nature’s sustainable use and livelihoods specialist group, said the standout finding of the report was the importance of wild species to billions of people, particularly to Indigenous and local communities.
