The National Policy on Biological Diversity 2016-2025 (NPBD) provides the direction and framework to conserve biodiversity, to promote its sustainable use and to ensure that its benefits are equitably shared. It also forms part of Malaysia’s response to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)’s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. NPBD outlines the key steps in managing agricultural commodities sustainably to ensure that the activities are compatible with long-term conservation of biodiversity.
