Biodiversity 

Meeting people’s needs through sustainable use and benefit-sharing (KMGBF Targets 9–13)

These FAO learning opportunities explore solutions to improve the management, conservation and sustainable use of wild species, promote the sustainable management of agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry, and highlight the value of green and blue spaces for human well-being.  They also address the preservation and sharing of traditional knowledge that supports biodiversity conservation and sustainable resource management, as well as the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources, including digital sequence information.
