About ACB

Goals

1. Promote biodiversity conservation and related aspects of sustainable development in particular poverty reduction within ASEAN, by relieving constraints on the flow of knowledge about diversity, ecosystems and how to manage them among stakeholders within the AMC and the international community.
2. Provide knowledge services to AMCs and the ASEAN Secretariat that derive from a regional perspective which is not available to individual countries acting on their own, especially with respect to cross-frontier, multi-country and ASEAN-wide challenges.
3. Promote good governance by encouraging the flow of knowledge about best practices that typically involve increased stakeholders' participation, partnership, equity and transparency.
4. Promote better understanding and policy development on relationships between biodiversity conservation and trade, external forces, security, genetic resources access and benefit sharing, and biosafety.
