PARIS: The world's most influential conservation congress passed resolutions Friday calling for 80 per cent of the Amazon and 30 per cent of Earth's surface - land and sea - to be designated"protected areas" to halt and reverse the loss of wildlife.

"Indigenous Peoples have come to defend our home and, in doing so, defend the planet. This motion is a first step," said Jose Gregorio Diaz Mirabal, general coordinator of COICA and a leader of the Curripaco people in Venezuela. The zones selected must include"biodiversity hotspots" teaming with animal and plant life, and be backed up by rigorous monitoring and enforcement, the resolution says.

The measure passed with more than 80 per cent of votes from government agencies, and 90 percent support from NGOs and civil society groups. The aim is to"bring together the world's experts on climate change to help shape the agenda around species," said Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN's Red List Unit.
