This event is being convened by Islands Conservation, in partnership with the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA), and with the participation of selected CBD parties. Island Conservation will present a proposed way forward to scale up the process of preventing species extinction, based on a recent scientific analysis provided by the Threatened Island Biodiversity database, illustrated by field examples and with the catalytic support of the international community. This event will convene in the sidelines of the 16th meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
