Post 4: The progress of Life on Land

 Progress in achieving goal 15:

1/ The area of forests subject to certification has increased or remained stable globally and in most regions, as well as the proportion of forests in protected areas or under long-term management plans, and above-ground forest biomass per hectare.(United Nations, n.d.).

2/ Preventing the introduction of invasive alien species has been discovered to be the most cost-effective way to address their effects. Governments are responding. Almost all nations (98 percent) now have national legislation in place to prevent or regulate invasive alien species, but the legislation's sectoral scope varies greatly. The majority of nations (92 percent and 82 percent, respectively) have laws governing plant and animal health in agriculture, but fewer have laws governing the environment (42 percent) or fisheries and aquaculture (27 percent). (United Nations, n.d.).
