Honourable Minister Ministry of Forests and Environment
The year 2018 marks the 25th anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The year is also coincide with the adoption of the Convention by Nepal. We are proud to the achievements that the Nepal has made in conserving its biodiversity during these 25 years. Nepal is trying to achieve sustainable economic growth through wise use of its natural resources. The Government of Nepal fully recognizes that the efforts to economic growth would only be sustainable if undertaken through sound environmental management and biodiversity conservation. We are fully committed to manage the country's rich biological diversity as per the national need and in the spirit of the Convention on Biological Diversity. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our conservation and development partners for their support and local communities for their sincere efforts to conserve and sustainable use the biological resources.
Foreword
The CBD Secretariat has announced that this year's International Biodiversity Day theme will be "25 years of Convention on Biological Diversity: Safeguarding Life on Earth". This 25th anniversary of the Convention presents us a unique opportunity to highlight our conservation efforts and achievements and also provides an opportunity to review and look towards the future. We have made remarkable achievements in the conservation field, which cannot be summarized in this one publication. However, this document has tried to summarize a few of them. I look forward to even stronger cooperation and collaboration among all the national and international stakeholders in our conservation efforts in the upcoming days.
