Chapter III: Ecological Sustainability; J. Biological Diversity (K if new point G takes effect)
Proposed Changes:
11. Support an executable and enforceable international agreement that preserves existing biodiversity, and mitigates biodiversity loss during the ongoing 6th Mass Extinction, but also works to repair our fractured, shrinking biodiversity in order to ensure overall health of the biosphere using a framework similar to that of the Montreal Protocol (See Chapter III.N. for more detail).
*Note: Reference would change to Chapter III. O if new sub-section G takes effect*
