Biodiversity

2010 is the United Nations Year on Biodiversity and May 22 is World Biodiversity Day. We all must commit ourselves to achieve significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth. Join the Countdown 2010 to help take action on biodiversity. Find out more about the Convention on Biological Diversity. Learn more about Biodiversity in Canada by visiting Environment Canada's special web site. Read the Canadian Environmental Network's background report entitled Biological Diversity and the Convention: From a Canadian environmental perspective.
