The United Nations Biodiversity Cop17 summit, set to open in Armenia on Monday, will bring together almost 200 countries to assess the progress towards the UN's 2030 nature targets.

Wildlife populations are declining, and protected areas are under threat from drilling and mining. Despite this, more money is still being allocated to damaging ecosystems than to protecting them.
