SINGAPORE, Dec 10 (The Straits Times/ANN): Local conservationists and youth are hoping that the conservation targets to be set at the ongoing United Nations COP15 biodiversity conference will be more ambitious.

They hope efforts will be focused on educating the younger generation to reshape how they view nature – as something of value instead of a resource to be exploited. This so-called transformative education will allow them to live harmoniously with nature in future.
