This website represents the UK Friends of the UN Decade on Biodiversity. 'Friends' are individuals and organisations throughout the UK who support the Decade on Biodiversity and are committed to addressing the loss of biodiversity across the planet.

The Friends of the Decade on Biodiversity promote biodiversity activities throughout the UK from 2011-2020. We facilitate networking and collaboration to encourage engaging the public about the importance of biodiversity to our wellbeing. The secretariat is based at the Natural History Museum, and the Friends network is an extension of the UK partnership for the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity (IYB-UK).
