UN set a bold goal to protect 30% of the world's land and ocean by 2030 .

A new report reveals that growth in marine protected areas is far too slow to achieve this target.

Analysis by conservation experts shows that protected areas are too scattered and unrepresentative.

At present, just 1.4% of international waters are protected in Antarctica .

While numbers and size matter, the world must also stop paying lip service to conservation and deliver real protection for nature, matched with sufficient and durable finance to ensure they work. And the high seas treaty needs urgently ratified, since there otherwise remains a near half -planet sized hole in ambitions for 30x30 .
