The
theme for the International Day on Biological Diversity
(IDB) in 2009 is invasive alien species (IAS) - one of
the greatest threats to biodiversity, and to the
ecological and economic well-being of society and the
planet.
Designation of IDB 2009 on the theme of invasive alien
species provides Parties to the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) and those dealing with IAS, opportunity
to raise awareness of the issue and increase practical
action to tackle the problem. |
