# ‘n Studie wat mediadekking van COP15, COP27 en Taylor Swift vergelyk, het bevind dat bioverskeidenheids-kwessies aansienlik minder aandag kry as klimaatsverandering en popkultuur. Ondanks die COP15 se aanvaarding van die Kunming-Montreal-bioverskeidenheids-raamwerk, het dit baie minder nuusdekking gekry as COP27 en selfs Swift se album-vrystelling van Oktober 2022. Navorsers beklemtoon dat bioverskeidenheidsverlies, hoewel van kritieke […]

Researchers highlight that biodiversity loss, though […]
