Opportunity for sustainable practices
Developing countries are rich in BD which is traditionally used, but is being threatened
Need for sustainable pro-poor/feasible economic activities
Initiative that links the conservation, sustainable use and trade of
biodiversity (BioTrade)
In addition to the consumer trends
