The Convention on Biological Diversity and its Impact on Pollination

The United Nations Convention, at the Rio Convention in 1992, decided to establish the "Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)." In the year 2000, stemming from this convention, the International Pollinator Initiative (IPI) emerged, currently having numerous projects in different countries, with the central objective of assessing the status of native pollinators, their interaction with plant species, and the degree of human dependence on these ecosystem services. Colombia, along with other countries, is part of the so-called group of megadiverse countries, obtaining the highest biodiversity index on the planet; the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was ratified by Colombia in 1995.
