Who is Responsible for Biodiversity Conservation?

Effective global biodiversity conservation requires intervention from a range of organisations.

Individual governments are responsible for the conservation of biodiversity within their own states, through their own laws and underinternational treaties.

Supra-governmental institutions produce and policeinternational treaties, manage biodiversity information resources and fund biodiversity conservation projects.

Specialist support comes fromnon governmental organisations (NGOs), academic institutions, museums, zoos and botanical gardens.

In the end, everyone is responsible for conserving global biodiversity through their own actions.
