Abstract

There have been numerous international and national attempts to formulate environmental policies that would effectively curb the potentially debilitating decrease in biological diversity; however, many of these policies have failed to meet their goals. The most recent attempt to conserve biodiversity on the international stage was the 2002 agreement at the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Agreeing parties pledged to slow biodiversity loss in their own respective countries by 2010. However, follow up studies showed that the 2010 targets will not be met.
