As a result of Agenda 21 and the action programme of UNCED, biodiversity strategies are taking place at local, regional, national and international levels. This report provides governments, business and industry, NGOs and indigenous groups with guidelines for the preparation of biodiversity strategies and action plans at the national level. Based on the experiences of planners from 18 countries, it represents a blueprint for other countries seeking to embark on a similar process.
