What is Being Done to Protect Biodiversity?

There are many different organizations and individuals that work to protect biodiversity. Many organizations focus on a specific habitat, such as the ocean or the rainforest. There are scientists working to create goals in conservation in a meeting in Nagoya, Japan as part of the Convention on Biological Diversity. There are organizations such as the Rainforest Alliance, the Nature Conservancy, the World Wildlife Fund, The Sierra Club, and many more. While these organizations work tirelessly to protect the environment and preserve biodiversity, their efforts alone will not be able to succeed. Individuals everywhere need to increase their efforts to reduce overconsumption and excessive waste. Only together can we  protect biodiversity.
