UN Cop16 nature talks gridlocked as conservation funding trickles in 

A red-eyed tree frog walks slowly through the rainforest in northern Costa Rica. About 38% of the world's tree species — totaling 16,425 species — are at risk of extinction.

Countries are at an impasse over how to fund conservation and other key decisions as the UN Cop16 biodiversity summit entered its second week, with nations pledging millions of dollars rather than the billions needed.

Seven countries and one provincial government pledged an additional €151m to the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund on Monday, dubbed the summit's "finance day".
