ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS TO SHARE IN CLASS by Amina

THE DIVINE MOVE At the end of 2022, after two years, was celebrated the COP15 in Montreal, Canada, where an agreement was signed by 195 different countries, but that document hasn’t changed and will not change anything. This fact is supported by Ecologistas en Acción, an organization of 300 groups all over Spain that really care about the environment. On their website, they have posted a piece of news about the inefficacy of this agreement, showing data that proves that our planet is dying and all of us with it. One of the data is the protection of 30% of natural areas, but the remaining 70% is not protected from poaching and people who don´t worry even if their forests were on fire. Another one is that scientists assert that we are on the sixth process of global animal extinction in world history, and if that wasn’t enough, the impacts are not regulated and the companies do whatever they want without any legal responsability. And the third one is that the early days before the COP15, in Egypt, a lot of citizens went out the streets to protest and many of them were arrested. Despite all of this, at least all the countries, that agreed on sign that document, had set up biodiversity global reserve zones to protect all the species, of which 3 of them disappear every hour.
