The seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-7) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 9 to 20 February. Priority issues include the biodiversity of mountain ecosystems, the role of protected areas in the preservation of biological diversity, technology cooperation and transfer and implementation of the target of achieving a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010.
