Belgian Biodiversity Alliance
Projects
Voluntary engagements
Biodiversity, which is the fabric of life, is being depleted at an alarming rate, threatening the ecological, social, economic and spiritual dimensions of all societies, everywhere in the world. Curbing the curve of biodiversity decline is crucial and urgent to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, ensure the transition to nature-friendly and resilient societies, and especially for the future of humanity.
The Belgian Biodiversity Alliance mobilizes Belgian society in a concrete way in the fight against the decline of biodiversity, in Belgium and beyond our borders, through voluntary commitments.
Direct and indirect pressures on biodiversity, as well as their drivers, are known and must be at the centre of efforts to conserve biodiversity and use it sustainably. This objective requires efforts by all of society and depends on cooperation at all levels and across all sectors.
Below are some examples of ongoing or successful biodiversity projects and actions.
