http://www.gwm-tv.com - A UN summit on biodiversity has begun with a stark warning that immediate action is needed to stop the rapid loss of animal and plant species from global forest habitats.
The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has heard warnings from scientists that climate change and human population pressures are destroying ecosystems such as tropical forests and coral reefs as well as animal and plant species.
The 193 delegate nations plan to set a new target for 2020 for curbing species loss, including how to better manage forest and wildlife resources.
