Mechanisms for protecting biodiversity under the Convention on Biological Diversity of 1992 and its two protocols, the Cartagena Protocol of 2000 and the Nagoya Protocol of 2010

Mechanisms for protecting biodiversity

Abstract

Biodiversity is one of the modern concepts that has invaded the field of legal sciences, specifically in the field of environmental law, due to the great importance it occupies, especially after the emergence of the problem of extinction that affected living organisms, whether plants or animals, which affected the natural environments occupied by living organisms and ecosystems after the spread of the phenomenon of environmental pollution, which affected the original environment of natural environments. Therefore, biodiversity is the infrastructure for human life and other living organisms, and hence there was an urgent need to search for mechanisms to protect it at the international level, especially through the Convention on Biological Diversity of 1992, and the two protocols attached to it, namely the Cartagena Protocol of 2000, and the Nagoya Protocol of 2010.
