Conservation and management of marine biodiversity

The goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.

Reaffirming that the Convention on Biological Diversity is the key international instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources,

The Price of Biodiversity

Marine biodiversity

An important area in which international support for NEPAD will be required is that of environment and biodiversity conservation.

We hope that the meeting will help us to identify ways the international community can work together to improve the conservation and management of the ocean's biodiversity.

Convention on Biological Diversity. Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity expanded programme of work on forest biological diversity (decision VI 22 of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, annex) is based on national priorities and needs.

Some delegations emphasized the need for a coherent approach to the conservation and management of marine biodiversity both within zones under national jurisdiction and on the high seas.

The State Institute for Nature Protection was developing a national list of biodiversity indicators and setting up a national biodiversity monitoring programme to improve nature conservation.

(h) Convention on Biological Diversity (continued)

Implement the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Johannesburg commitment to significantly reduce the rate of loss of biodiversity by 2010

But the cost of preserving the world s biodiversity needs to be contrasted with the enormous economic and social value of forests in terms of the benefits that they provide locally and globally.

Since plants are the primary food source for animals, the reduction of one of the primary pollination agents, or even their possible disappearance, has raised concern, and the conservation of pollinators has become part of biodiversity conservation efforts.

The Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted international guidelines on biological diversity and tourism in 2004.

The Convention on Biological Diversity Guidelines on Biodiversity and Tourism Development, adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention in 2004 point to a systematic approach for the evaluation of tourism developments in sensitive areas.

Background paper on tourism and the environment

Ratio of area protected to maintain biological diversity to surface areas

Most important, it fails to mention the Convention on Biological Diversity, which is a framework instrument for regulating the conservation and use of biological diversity in all its aspects.

It reaffirmed the commitment to respect traditional lifestyles relevant to biological diversity and the need to implement the Convention and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
