start with the definition of biodiversity
Biological diversity is:"the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part . This includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (CBD)

2010 Biodiversity Target
“ . . .achieve a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at global, national and regional levels as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth.”
Adopted at CBD COP6Endorsed by WSSD and UNGAIncorporated as a new target within MDG7

• A small set of broad headline indicators
• New framework: Threats / Status / Ecosystem Services / Actions
• Additional measures of threats and ecosystem services
• National indicator development capacity building properly resourced
• Inclusive partnership for indicator development maintained
