The Convention on Biological Diversity as an Instrument for Health and Weil-Being

摘要

This is a symposium about health - the most important issue all of us will encounter in our lifetimes. The Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty that has both the implicit objective and the potential to improve the health of life on earth. The intent of this paper is to expose the relevance and explore opportunities to use The Convention on Biological Diversity as a tool to achieve health care objectives, as well as to use health care imperatives to address conservation objectives.
