As you know, Article 25 of the Convention on Biological Diversity established a Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA). The Conference of the Parties (COP), at its eighth meeting in March 2006, reviewed its operations and highlighted the important role of its focal points. Currently there are 145 focal points to SBSTTA nominated by Governments. The current list is available at http://www.biodiv.org/doc/lists/nfp-sbstta.pdf. In so doing, the COP encouraged Parties that have not already done so to appoint focal points for the SBSTTA (decision VIII/10, paragraph 22). (French version and Spanish version)
