International Organization for Biological Diversity

The International Organization for Biological Diversity (commonly called the Biodiversity Convention) is an international treaty established in 1992 to promote the conservation of Earth's variety of life—plants, animals, fungi, and ecosystems. Its goal is to protect natural resources, ensure sustainable use, and share the benefits of genetic resources fairly. Countries that are part of this agreement work together to address threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. The organization provides a framework for global cooperation to preserve biodiversity, recognizing its crucial role in supporting life and human well-being.
