THE VALUE OF NATURE Here in Nepal, a WWF-backed initiative has enabled communities to manage their forests and grasslands sustainably, regenerating previously degraded land and supporting local livelihoods. We need to ensure people all around the world also recognise the value of nature. So in 2016 we signed a partnership with the UN Convention on Biological Diversity to lead efforts to achieve their 2020 Aichi Target 1 - raising international awareness of the values of biodiversity. It's an exciting mission, with great potential to increase global environmental education efforts.
