00:58after two years of the Conming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,
01:02and what we have done reflects how we are going to meet the goals of the Global Framework.
01:06The plan seeks to bring together four strategic commitments to 2030 for the protection of biodiversity
01:11and six goals that include within them 23 goals of the framework
01:14in accordance with our specific contextual situation.
01:17These goals have to do first with going from 24% of the national territory
01:21that today is under environmental protection measures both in the continental part to 34%,
01:26and in the oceanic part we have further reached 30%, but we are going to gain 34%.
