France 24 reports that nearly 200 nations approved two agreements at the COP17 biodiversity summit in Yerevan, Armenia, aimed at halting biodiversity loss by 2030, in overtime after two weeks of talks. The BBC reports the countries agreed key parts of a new action plan early on Saturday. The BBC, citing the UN, says the world is on track for only one of the 24 targets set in 2022. France 24 says the final texts were not immediately public. The New York Times reports that countries renewed their promises to protect wildlife, but that how to cover the costs remains a question.
