Message from the Director
Biodiversity is essential for our lives and economy. Its decline due to human activities greatly impacts our well-being and economic health. There is a global emphasis on protecting and using biodiversity sustainably. It is highlighted by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the launch of the International Science-Policy Platform.
To successfully protect biodiversity and use it sustainably, we need to change society. Conservation efforts and research in communities are vital for achieving this balance.
In the Biodiversity Division, we are advancing research that targets a wide variety of organisms and ecosystems on Earth, aiming towards the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Through these research outcomes, we contribute to the construction of a society in harmony with nature, while also supporting specific conservation activities at the community and international levels.
