Dr. Steve Carver: Toward Meeting Europe's Commitment to 30x30 Targets: a Spatial Modelling Approach
🖥️ Online Talk with Dr. Steve Carver, Geographer and Professor at the University of Leeds on 3 December 2025, organised by the Swiss Wilderness Forum 🏔️🇨🇭 Dr. Steve Carver draws on his decades of experience in wilderness protection and modelling to highlight targets 1-3 of the UN GBF Kunming-Montreal Agreement, exploring what they mean and their implications for wilderness protection and rewilding across continental Europe He points out that the highest quality wilderness can be found primarily in northern latitudes and at high altitudes. In order to meet the Kunming-Montreal target of 30% protected area, he suggests identifying the wildest 30% of land area in each European biogeographical region in order to achieve a more balanced picture of biodiversity. *** MORE INFORMATION 👉 https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/geography/staff/1013/prof-steve-carver 👉 https://www.forum-wildnis.ch
