Keiya Nakajima from The Japan Falconiformes Center, who has provided the CIC team enormous assistance during the CBD – COP10 event in Nagoya in October 2010 – where the CIC Markhor Award 2010 ceremony took place – has published an article in “The International Journal of Falconry” Autumn 2011 edition.

 

The convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature on 5 June 1992 at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. Currently, 193 parties are members of the Convention. The main goals are ”the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources”. Falconry and the conservation of birds of prey is related to the first and second goal in the Convention.

 

Thanks for the cooperation of ”The International Association for Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey”.
