Resumen
Descripción
When the Fifth Conference of the Parties to the Convention Biological Diversity established an International Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators (also known as the International Pollinators Initiative- IPI) in 2000 (COP decision V/5, section II), FAO was requested to facilitate and co-ordinate the Initiative in close co-operation with other relevant organisations. A Plan of Action for the IPI was adopted at COP 6 (decision VI/5), providing an overall struct ure to the initiative, with four elements of assessment, adaptive management, capacity building and mainstreaming. FAO, through the FAO/Netherlands Partnership Programme, supported the initial establishment of a regional African Pollinator Initiative, and the development and publication of its Plan of Action in 2003. With this initial publication now out of print, support from the Government of Norway has permitted the translation of the Plan of Action into French, and the publication of both documents in 2007. We hope that the information contained in this Plan of Action will inspire others to establish and implement similar initiatives in their countries or regions as appropriate. We would encourage those that are developing initiatives and materials on conservation and sustainable use of pollinators to share these with FAO for wider dissemination, through the following address: pollination@fao.org).
