UN Convention on Biological Diversity

The UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international agreement aimed at conserving the world's biodiversity, ensuring its sustainable use, and promoting fair sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. Established in 1992, it recognizes the vital role of ecosystems and species in supporting life on Earth. The CBD encourages countries to take action to protect their unique natural environments while balancing human needs. It aims to combat biodiversity loss, promote conservation efforts, and support sustainable development through cooperation among nations. The agreement highlights the importance of both wildlife and habitats for future generations.
