Convention on Biodiversity

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international treaty aimed at conserving the world's variety of life—plants, animals, and ecosystems—while promoting sustainable use of natural resources. It encourages countries to protect endangered species, preserve natural habitats, and share benefits from genetic resources fairly. The goal is to maintain healthy ecosystems that support all life forms, including humans, now and in the future. By working together, nations can address threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change to ensure biodiversity remains a valuable and resilient part of our planet.
