Tropical forests enter critical phase as two thirds of key biodiversity areas see temperature rise

KBAs are sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The post-2020 global biodiversity framework, also known as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, was adopted in December 2022 with the goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030, with a target of conserving at least 30 per cent of land globally. KBAs are specifically identified as a core priority for this effort.
