The Price of Biodiversity

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.

The reports mention the important role played by parks and biodiversity reserves from the point of view of protecting the environment and improving the living conditions of local populations.

Like all members of the Pacific Islands Forum, New Zealand is seriously concerned about the need to protect biodiversity from the adverse impacts of that activity.

In order to protect its biological diversity, it had established a national biodiversity committee, which was responsible for drawing up a national framework for action pursuant to the Cartagena Protocol and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.

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.
