start with the definition of biodiversity Biological diversity is: "the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part. This includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (CBD)

Communicating the value of biodiversity

2010 Biodiversity Target “...achieve a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at global, national and regional levels as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth.” Adopted at CBD COP6 Endorsed by WSSD and UNGA Incorporated as a new target within MDG7 Communicating the value of biodiversity

"Ecosystem Services" Economics (e.g. TEEB) Millennium Ecosystem Assessmentwww.teebweb.org And beyond 2010

Tracking the 2010 Biodiversity Target - timeline 2002 CBD COP target adopted CBD COP 7 biodiversity indicator suite recommended CBD COP BIP mandated CBD GBO3 indicator data deadline July BIP established WSSD endorsed MDG 7 incorporated
