“We must leave Cali with significant investment in the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund , and commitments to mobilise other sources of public and private finance,” the secretary general said.

We have more than 10,000 police officers, we also have detachments of the Colombian Armed Forces guarding the entire perimeter of the city. We have air protection, protection against drones.”The delegates have their work cut out for them, with just five years left to achieve the target of placing 30 per cent of land and sea areas under protection by 2030.
