Areas reserved for biodiversity not respected

With an agreement concluded in 2010 almost two hundred nations pledged to reserve by 2020 seventeen percent of the globe's territories to areas reserved for the protection of biodiversity through parks and other naturalistic sanctuaries in order to be shield plants and animals for pollution, land clearances and climate change; but a third of these areas are now subject to human exploitation with the construction of roads, cities, farms and railways, at least from what would result from a research carried out in Australia that has calculated in about six million square kilometers the loss in biodiversity. To make a figurative example it is as if a territory that includes India and Argentina combined was subjected to human exploitation also (with some exceptions) forcing in practice the species that populate them to migrate and thus influencing the biodiversity of other areas generating conflicts between species and unhealthy natural imbalances.
