Conservation Costs Are Rarely Reported, Making It Difficult to Prioritize Funding
The costs of conservation actions are rarely reported, making it difficult to decide on the best ways to protect and restore nature, a new study shows. It looked at nearly 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on wildlife conservation action and found that only 13.3% reported costs, and only 8.8% reported total costs.
Africa Faces Hard Knocks As Rich Countries Take Manufacturing Back Home
The global economic crisis triggered by the outbreak of the COVID pandemic in 2020 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February this year has intensified the risk of declining trade integration between countries. A process referred to as the deglobalisation of trade.
The pandemic sent shocks through supply chains across the world. As a result, companies in some advanced economies have started to prioritise bringing production that was previously outsourced to Asia back home – or closer to home. The expectation is that this will avert ongoing – and future – supply-chain disruptions, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of goods.
