Submissions of biodiversity case studies, good practices sought

The China Environmental Protection Foundation and the Paradise International Foundation have been soliciting case studies and good practices on biodiversity conservation as a key United Nations gathering on the subject approaches.

The campaign, "100+ Biodiversity Positive Practices and Actions Around the World", will remain open for submission through the end of the month. The submission can either be in English or Chinese, but each applicant may not submit more than three case studies or good practices.

The campaign was launched on July 20 amid preparations for the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which is widely known as COP 15 and is slated to be inaugurated in Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, in October.

The biggest UN biodiversity meeting in a decade, the summit is tasked with elaborating on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and identifying protection goals through 2030.

The campaign aims to showcase noteworthy biodiversity-related actions, practices and models and to demonstrate the strong commitment of nongovernmental actors worldwide to protect, conserve and take advantage of biodiversity in a sustainable manner, according to the environmental protection foundation.

The case studies or good practices to be submitted should focus on biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. The case studies or good practices will involve nongovernmental organizations.
