The Biodiversity Treaty

The Biodiversity Treaty, formally known as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), is an international agreement aimed at conserving the variety of life on Earth, promoting sustainable use of natural resources, and sharing benefits fairly from genetic resources. It encourages countries to protect ecosystems, prevent species extinction, and ensure that natural resources are used responsibly to support future generations. The treaty fosters global cooperation to maintain Earth's rich biological diversity in a balanced way that benefits both nature and human well-being.
