Brazil: Creation of Brazilian Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (BPBES)
{Empty}
BPBES seeks to place the issues of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services at the heart of the Brazil's development model. They aim to produce syntheses of the best available knowledge by academic science and traditional knowledge on Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and their relations with human well-being. BPBES is composed of a core team with 30 researchers. In 2016, BPBES produced a document: 'Contributions to the Inter-Sectoral Dialogue: Building the Brazilian Diagnosis on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services'
