A new Media partnership to support biodiversity

“Diversity for Life” is a global campaign coordinated by Bioversity International to inspire a new appreciation of agricultural biodiversity and to inspire people to become Guardians of Diversityby celebrating the unsung contributions of individual farmers, scientists and others to conserving the diversity of plants and animals that are so critical to food security.

Diversity for Life will culminate in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, with a wide range of activities targeting policymakers, schools and the media.
