The Biodiversity Conservation Handbook is designed to assist state and local policymakers who wish to "think globally and act locally" by developing a state or local biodiversity program.
ELI is partnering with experts around the globe to form the Biodiversity Adaptation Law Advisory Committee to assist in implementing the project. This Advisory Committee includes environmental lawyers from six countries characterized by high biodiversity (Uganda, Madagascar, Peru, Dominican Republic, Bhutan, and Vietnam). These six countries represent different regions, legal systems, biomes, and challenges to biodiversity associated with climate change; as such, the Advisory Committee helps to ensure that the materials developed through this project are widely relevant and useful.
This project seeks to improve laws governing biodiversity so that they better adapt to the changing climate. ELI has planned a broad, integrated set of activities over the next three years that will involve:
