Biodiversity in German Development Cooperation

The 2010 updated publication attempts to document the efforts being undertaken by Germany in the field of biological diversity within the framework of Development Cooperation. It lists, country by country, those programmes and projects of Technical, Financial and Human Resource Cooperation that are related to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. It distinguishes between those projects which have the conservation of biodiversity as an overall goal, those projects for which the utilisation of natural resources is the central issue but which still contribute to biodiversity conservation and its sustainable use, and those projects in which biodiversity issues play a minor role.
