Abstract
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to conserve 30% of land globally by 2030 using protected areas (PAs) and 'other effective area-based conservation measures' (OECMs). China plans to expand PAs to 18% of the land area. An additional 12% can be designated as OECMs within the ecological protection red lines.
