COP15, the UN biodiversity summit has opened in Canada.

More than 10,000 people, including scientists, activists and government officials are meeting in a bid to preserve sensitive ecosystems across the globe.

Representatives from nearly 200 countries are set to meet, in the hopes of developing a plan to restore nature by the end of the decade.

And, with COP15 seen as a chance to do for biodiversity what the Paris agreement has done for the fight against climate change, the stakes are high.
