National focal point to the Convention on biological diversity
Welcome to the website of the Belgian National Focal Point to the Convention on Biological Diversity
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international agreement emphasising the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The National Focal Point is Belgium's link to the CBD. It's also an information centre for everyone interested in biodiversity.
If you would like to know what's on our calendar or you are looking for our news items, visit the what's hot? pages. You can also read an overview of the history and philosophy of the National Focal Point. You'll find our staff to be very productive: we offer a great multitude and variaty of activities and products.
Looking for an interesting book, article, CD, DVD or VHS? Our thematic library on biodiversity is the largest in Belgium.
Belgium's biodiversity is much richer than generally thought: discover our natural treasures online!
More information on the CBD and its implementation in and by Belgium can be found on the official Belgian CHM website(*)
