Conserving Land, Water and Oceans
To meet our ambitious global goal of protecting 30% of the planet, we need a smart, strategic plan. How do we decide which areas are the most critical for biodiversity? And how do we ensure our protected areas aren't just isolated "islands" where nature is trapped? Effective, lasting conservation is about prioritizing the most vital places and linking them together.
From islands of green to resilient networks
This is why "Conserving Land, Water and Oceans" is a cornerstone of the Policy and Practice Shift. The journeys in this topic provide the essential tools for strategic conservation. You'll learn how to identify Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs)—the planet's "hotspots" that are most critical for the persistence of nature. You'll also discover why ecological connectivity is the key to weaving these areas into resilient networks, allowing wildlife to move and ecosystems to thrive.

Using Key Biodiversity Areas to Improve Implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) have been identified in all except three countries of the world. KBAs are globally significant sites for species or ecosystems and are therefore a high priority for conservation. This journey will show how identifying and using KBAs can better achieve some of the targets and goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
