LBI distributed the report on the community environment
activities in public at COP13 for promoting mainstreaming of BD.
In order to involve more people in activities that
contribute to biodiversity conservation, various groups of people need to deepen their understanding of the value of the biodiversity. Biodiversity has a cultural value, a value as a
component of the living environment, and an economic value (CBD, 2016). The existence of diverse life forms is in itself valuable. Deepening understanding of the various values of biodiversity is
important. Civil society can contribute to achieving Aichi Biodiversity Targets (Aichi Targets) by conducting education activities and initiating community collective environment actions on
biodiversity. It is important for civil society to disseminate information about their activities to the public.
