In this episode of the Mongabay Newscast, the conference of the parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is discussed, and what it will take to create a robust post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

MacKenzie Scott announces the organizations, including Nia Tero, receiving her support, sharing that, "Equity can only be realized when all people involved have an opportunity to help shape it...If you are looking for a way to serve humanity’s common cause, every one of them is a great candidate. Helping any of us can help us all."
