Abstract: This paper discusses developments emerging as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is implemented by signatory countries, and some of the issues currently under debate in various international fora concerning biodiversity. Biodiversity is central to the development and environment discourse, although the complexity of the problem of biodiversity loss and erosion, and the numerous actors and interests involved in its management, make international negotiations and agreements controversial and highly politicized. Key issues are national sovereignty; conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity; access and sharing of benefits of biodiversity. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
