The very variety of life on Earth is possibly this planet's most valuable - and most endangered - natural resource.

This page provides a gateway to the efforts of governments and other actors to conserve biodiversity and to exploit and share its benefits in an equitable and sustainable manner.

See, for example :

The Convention on Biological Diversity

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)

The UNCTAD BioTrade Initiative
