Major UN talks aimed at striking a deal on safeguarding nature and to address the tide of extinction that could destroy the world鈥檚 biodiversity are taking place. It's thought the loss of species and habitats could pose as much danger to life on Earth as global warming does and the UN warns a million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades unless rapid action is taken.

The 成人快手's climate editor Justin Rowlatt has been to visit the mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda, to discover how their conservation can help protect other species. He says that until fairly recently, the world's mountain gorillas appeared to be on the verge of extinction. The habitat they live in was rapidly being cleared by farmers, and conservation efforts were being hampered by conflict and attacks by poachers. But 40 years later, the population is now more than 1,000-strong and growing. He learns that gorilla tourism has boosted the entire regional economy and now the revenues it generates covers much of the cost of running Uganda's wildlife protection service.
