Include macrofungi in biodiversity targets
Yun Cao, Gang Wu, Dandan Yu
Abstract
From 3 May to 9 June, the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical, and Technological Advice met to negotiate the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework for formal release at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Like the previous CBD agreement (1), the current proposed draft does not explicitly mention macrofungi (2). This major lineage of life should not be overlooked again.
