United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity

The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international treaty that encourages countries to work together to protect the Earth's natural diversity of plants, animals, and ecosystems. It aims to conserve species, sustainably manage natural resources, and share the benefits of genetic resources fairly. By setting global goals, the CBD promotes actions to prevent biodiversity loss caused by human activities like deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Its overall goal is to ensure that the planet’s biological richness is preserved for current and future generations, supporting healthy ecosystems and sustainable development.
