Biodiversity embraces the variety of genes, species and ecosystems that constitute life on Earth. Despite a global pledge to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss significantly by 2010 and a European commitment to halt it altogether, the steady decline continues. The consequences for the natural world and for human wellbeing are profound.
The European Environment Agency produced a series of outputs throughout the International Year of Biodiversity in order to raise awareness and to provide policy makers with appropriate tools needed for designing and implementing biodiversity policies after 2010.
The year 2011 was declared by the United Nations to be the International Year of Forests.
