Making #PeaceWithNature is the defining task of the 21st century and a strong concern at #COP16Colombia.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Negotiations at #COP16Colombia have reached the halfway point.

Here in Cali at this 'People's COP' we need to see progress on turning #KMGBF commitments into real, tangible action.

Lots of work ahead, but together, we can make #PeaceWithNature.
