The International Year of Biodiversity is about sharing stories of successes and hopes for preserving biodiversity. It is about giving the community of biodiversity practitioners a place to exchange ideas and grow. To assist in this, we have create a facebook fan page for the International Year of Biodiversity.

Created in 1992, the IUCN French Committee is the network of organisations and experts of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in France. This democratic membership union is a unique partnership, bringing together 2 ministries, 13 public organisations, 40 non-governmental organisations, and more than two hundred fifty voluntary scientists and experts, who meet in specialised commissions and working groups . Due to its mixed composition, the IUCN French Committee provides a unique platform for dialogue and expertise on biodiversity issues , which also involves local authorities and private companies. The IUCN French Committee has two main missions : to respond to biodiversity issues in France, and to promote French expertise internationally. In order to fulfil its two missions, the IUCN French Committee has set up 7 programmes devoted to biodiversity policies, protected areas, species, ecosystem management, environmental education and communication, overseas territories and international actions. Their implementation depends on the active involvement of its member organisations, experts and partners in 5 commissions and 8 working groups. The IUCN French Committee carries out assessments, formulates concrete recommendations and manages projects to develop new policies, knowledge, and actions in favour of biodiversity conservation.

A french campaing to raise awareness about biodiversity because we believe that We have the means to act, collectively and individually, to conserve biodiversity.
« Le grand public, c’est clair, a un pouvoir de décision et de pression auprès des politiques et du secteur privé, mais pour que cela soit efficace, il faut qu’il soit informé, sensibilisé, qu’il comprenne les enjeux ». Outil pour répondre au défi lancé par l’ONU dans le cadre de l’AIB, objectif était de répondre à la 1 er mission lancée par cette AIB OBJ, pourquoi ? point fort : Renforcer la prise de conscience du grand public sur l’importance de sauvegarder la biodiversité ainsi que sur les menaces qui pèsent sur elle. point fort : C’est la première campagne de sensibilisation grand public sur la biodiv qui associe les grandes assos françaises membres « campagne multiONG ».

In order to answer the question “what’s your nature?” in visual terms, the campaign relies on “ biodiversity portrait” The campaing aims to be attractive, creative and above all participatory. . faire sentir aux participants le lien fort qu’ils ont avec la nature, restaurer notre sentiment d’appartenance à la nature, nous faisons parti de la biodiversité – approche basée sur le lien Homme/nature, aspect participatif =
1. Everyone is invited to read and sign the public appeal, on the campaign’s website 2. How to make is portrait ? A biodiversity portrait is first of all a popular expression linked to biodiversity: are you “ oeil de lynx [sharpsighted as a lynx] », « fort comme un boeuf [strong as an ox] », or “gentle as a lamb” etc. are just some of the French expressions associated with the corresponding pictures of animals and plants. Once you have chosen an expression, simply upload your photo onto the website. It will automatically appear next to the plant or animal that illustrates the expression (see portraits below). 3. To go further, the website provides information on biodiversity and suggests actions that we can take in our everyday lives, which will help to conserve it.
By creating your biodiversity portrait, you are illustrating, in a fun and creative way, how we are linked to biodiversity.
