The Biodiversity Convention in Nagoya appears to have has ended on a positive note : http://www.cbd.int
Following last year’s unsuccesful Copenhagen Summit on climate change (see previous post), the outcome of discussions in Japan may give some cause for optimism. If, as some have suggested, the end of the noughties is symbolised by the rescue of a group of Chilean gold miners, reflecting apparently super-human efforts above and below ground, perhaps the new spirit of co-operation invoked in my previous post has, at last, arrived. May this Titan spirit continue !
