What is the purpose of the project?

Delegates from nearly 200 countries have adopted a plan aimed at protecting threatened species of plants and animals around the world. The deal was reached at the end of a United Nations conference on biodiversity in the Japanese city of Nagoya. The 10-year plan includes a promise of billions of dollars to aid conservation in poorer regions. The targets are weaker than many scientists wanted, but the European Union’s chief negotiator at the conference, Karl Falkenberg, told the BBC it was a significant agreement.
    "It was a roller coaster. But it’s that much more satisfactory to have achieved this, and it is a big result. It really is big for environment, big for the UN, big for Japan, big for Europe. Great night."
