What are global efforts to conserve biodiversity?

Global efforts to conserve biodiversity involve international agreements, conservation programs, and collaborative initiatives aimed at protecting ecosystems and species worldwide. Major efforts include the Convention on Biological Diversity, which provides a global framework for conservation, sustainable use, and benefit sharing of biological resources. The IUCN Red List assesses the conservation status of species and guides protection priorities. The CITES agreement regulates international trade in endangered species to prevent exploitation. Programs like UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites focus on protecting ecologically important areas. Additionally, global initiatives promote habitat restoration, climate action, and community participation to ensure long term biodiversity conservation.
