The Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity

The Convention on Biological Diversity is the key global instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources. In 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity was mentioned for the first time on the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. The Convention promotes the maintenance of healthy ecosystems, the protection of threatened species and the conservation of the genetic material that underpins populations of wild and domesticated species. Recent studies have shown that biological diversity decreased due to habitat destruction. Therefore, the protection of nature is imperative precondition for the survival of the diversity of living components, ecosystems and landscapes. The aim of this paper is to present current state of biodiversity in the world, and future strategic plans for conservation of biodiversity and preventing further destruction of biological systems.
