The Canadian Biodiversity Information Network was developed in 1996 to deliver information on the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy and to serve as Canada’s national node to the global Clearing House Mechanism (CHM). The goal of CBIN is to increase public awareness about biodiversity and national level implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and to enhance information-sharing with partners and international Parties to the CBD. CBIN contains biodiversity-related information on a wide range of topics, including: Canadian activities to implement the CBD and the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy; Upcoming national and international meetings and events; What can you do to protect biodiversity Reference material; The Canadian Indigenous Biodiversity Information Network; Biodiversity News; Links to relevant organizations.
