The Ministry of Water, Land and Natural Resources (KATS) is the ministry responsible for monitoring the implementation of the National Policy on Biological Diversity (NBPD) 2016-2025. However, since biodiversity is a cross-cutting issue, there is a need to engage other Ministries/Departments/Agencies and key stakeholders.
Hence, the Biodiversity and Forestry Management Division (BBP) organised a symposium to increase the understanding of the NBPD 2016-2025 policy among government agencies and selected NGOs who are key stakeholders in the implementation of the policy. The link between Malaysia’s NBPD 2016-2025 and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was also emphasized through this symposium that was organised in the Perdana Leadership Foundation on the 22nd of October 2018.
It is hoped that through the knowledge and network gained through the symposium, stakeholders are able to synergise and mainstream biodiversity issues in their respective policy planning.
