ESABII. East and Southeast Asia. s Biodiversity I

Transcription

1 Our life depends on biodiversity and ecosystems. East and Southeast Asia is one of the richest biological diversity areas on the earth. However, information and knowledge on biodiversity in this region ESABII East and Southeast Asia s Biodiversity I I available for its conservation and sustainability are still limited. More biological information and taxonomic capacities are needed to secure rich biodiversity in this region. East and Southeast Asia Biodiversity Information Initiative (ESABII was launched by 14 countries in this region and relevant organizations to achieve goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
