We are "Japan Forum for Biodiversity"

■The things we can do to live on the earth.

We think that CBD(Convention on Biologocal Civersity) is a promise to the world so that we and our children can continue living on the Earth.

We must decide on a target to succeed our "2010 biodiversity target". We want the CBD to be effective,and in order to do that,we are participating in and expressing our opinions in COP10. We hope to achieve better agreement and cooperation with the citizens of participating countries and the NGOs.And we appeal for agreement to be achieved for the sake the life that we live on the earth.

We,"Japan Forum for Biodiversity",are the NGO which will "host in COP10". COP10 will be taken place at Nagoya City in Aichi prefecture,Japan in 2010 year. For COP10 to be successful,world NGOs participation are necessary.

Our NGO members consist of Japanese environmental NGOs and international NGOs. Cooperation of all members both Japanese environmental NGOs and international NGOs is necessary to achieve the 3 goals of the CBD.
