THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYConvention on Biological Diversity • January 22nd, 2002
all-encompassing international agreement ever adopted. It seeks to conserve the diversity of life on Earth at all levels – genetic, population, species, habitat, and ecosystem – and to ensure that this diversity continues to maintain the life support systems of the biosphere overall. It recognizes that setting social and economic goals for the use of biological resources and the benefits derived from genetic resources is central to the process of sustainable development, and that this in turn will support conservation.
