Exactly. Protecting the largest animals won't matter in a few years when all the corals and microfauna disappear due to ocean warming, triggering devastating chain effects in all ecosystems.
I'm not sure if I've watched too many science documentaries, but the future looks grim from any standpoint. Even if this accord is upheld and protects the largest species, I'm afraid it's too little, too late to stop the environmental catastrophe.
The only thing that might slow things down is if we very aggressively stop burning fossil fuels. This is a political and economic problem that everyone needs to agree on, yet we can't even stop killing each other, so I'm not that hopeful.
