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.

Biological diversity. Substantial progress has been made in establishing protected area networks in all regions of the world to prevent loss of forest biological diversity.

The Forum and the Conference of Parties to the Convention have addressed loss of forest biological diversity and collaboration between the Convention and the Forum.

The Price of Biodiversity

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

Mr. John Scott (secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity)

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.

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.

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.

Action to promote the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the utilization of forest genetic resources has generally been taken within the framework of guidelines under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
