CBD GUIDELINES The Ecosystem Approach
Biological diversity - the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns itforms - is increasingly threatened by human activities. Management of theEarth's biodiversity resources with the aim to reach the three objectives of theConvention on Biological Diversity: the conservation and sustainable use ofbiological diversity, and the equitable sharing of benefits arising from theutilization of genetic resources, presents a formidable challenge forhumankind. The processes linking ecosystems and species are complex, and anaction taken in one location may have unforeseen consequences elsewhere,often far away and many years later. In this context, the Ecosystem Approach offers a powerful strategy for theintegrated management of land, water and living resources that promotesconservation and sustainable use in an equitable way.
