Multiple societal challenges depend on successfully reducing the pressures on biodiversity. As a beacon of hope, 194 countries agreed to a new global strategy to stop and reverse biodiversity loss in December 2022.

New initiatives
We also started new initiatives with new partners. With Strengthen the Roots, we will strengthen the fundamentals of local civil society organisations in Ghana, Indonesia and Bolivia. In Bolivia, we also started a collaborative project in support of the 1.2 Million ha. Nembi Guasu landscape governed by Indigenous peoples. A small grants programme was launched to support locally-led conservation and adaptation in Madagascar, Comores, Mauritius, and the Seychelles. In the Netherlands we started developing the National Biodiversity Dashboard, to be launched in 2023.
