Protecting Biodiversity

The first part of the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), also known as the COP15, took place in Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, on October 11-15. While drawing on the know-how the international community has thus far gained in biodiversity conservation, the meeting also mapped out wide-ranging plans for global eco-diversity governance over the next decade.
