Ecologic welcomes the German Green Party in the Network Countdown 2010 on behalf of the IUCN
- News
From 19 – 30 May 2008, the ninth Conference of the Convention on Biological Diversity takes place in Bonn, Germany, the last before 2010. Until the year 2010, the 1992 UN Convention aims to considerably reduce the extinction of species. This is also the goal of the pan-European initiative Countdown 2010 of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Ingo Bräuer from Ecologic, member and representative of the initiative welcomes the German Green Party as the first political party in Network Countdown 2010. The Green Party signed the Declaration on 7 May 2008, culminating a day of action on biodiversity in front of the German Bundestag. This brings the total to 622 organisations, including governments, public authorities, NGOs and businesses that have joined the initiative Countdown 2010.
