FAO's Biodiversity Focal Points
To strengthen coordination and delivery of FAO’s work on biodiversity, Biodiversity Focal Points are nominated to represent their FAO division, unit or office. They help to coordinate collective achievement of the FAO Strategy for Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors and its Action Plans.
