The primary focus lies on issues of international biodiversity conservation and protection. Using the framework provided by SDG 15, the contribution discusses contradictions and development potentials within the biodiversity protection approach set out by the SDG and concludes with a general reflection on whether and how the achievement of SDG 15's goals can be ensured beyond 2030.
