Kunming, China's Environment Minister Huang Runqi praised the declaration and the enthusiasm, but added that it was a statement of political will and not a binding agreement.</p> <p>The document calls for "urgent and integrated" steps to tackle decreasing biodiversity around the world, with particular emphasis on how many sectors of the global economy have contributed to a dangerous decrease in habitats and species over the past century.</p> <p>One of the measures suggested by the declaration is increased funding for conservation in poorer countries, as well as vowing to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly supply chains.</p> <p>With plant and animal <a

While the concept was acknowledged at the conference, China has not made clear how much it supports the idea.</p> <p>"The Kunming Declaration gives us a hint on China's leadership style. The declaration made a reference to the 30 by 30 target, but did not indicate if Beijing is on board with it or not," Greenpeace East Asia's senior climate advisor, Li Shuo, told DW.</p> <p>"That’s a balancing act, to recognize the growing momentum behind this goal while not prejudicing the multilateral process.

Bees</h2> <p>It's no secret that bees are vital — in fact, they were even declared the most important species on Earth by the Royal Geographical Society.

They are also responsible for pollinating many of the crops we eat.</p> </div> </li>  <li class="hideBeforeLoad"> <div class="teaserImg"> <img loading="lazy" itemprop="image" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220113132743im_/https://static.dw.com/image/19135760_303.jpg" title="Leaf-cutter ants " alt="Leaf-cutter ants "> </div> <div class="teaserContentWrap"> <div class="tools"> </div> <h4> Vital species we can't afford to lose</h4> <h2>2.

Scientists are currently studying the possible impact of climate change on ant colonies around the world.</p> </div> </li>  <li class="hideBeforeLoad"> <div class="teaserImg"> <img loading="lazy" itemprop="image" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220113132743im_/https://static.dw.com/image/40419306_303.jpg" title="A close up shot of two mushrooms " alt="A close up shot of two mushrooms "> </div> <div class="teaserContentWrap"> <div class="tools"> </div> <h4> Vital species we can't afford to lose</h4> <h2>3. Fungi</h2> <p>Neither plant nor animal, microbe or protozoa, fungi are sometimes described as the "fifth kingdom of life on Earth." They can be found in the water, in the soil and in the air. They essentially act as the world's natural nutrient recyclers and some species can even absorb harmful metals like mercury and digest polyurethane plastics.</p> </div> </li>  <li class="hideBeforeLoad"> <div class="teaserImg"> <img loading="lazy" itemprop="image" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220113132743im_/https://static.dw.com/image/19270642_303.jpg" title="A microscopic image of phytoplankton " alt="A microscopic image of phytoplankton "> </div> <div class="teaserContentWrap"> <div class="tools"> </div> <h4> Vital species we can't afford to lose</h4> <h2>4.
