The 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CoP 10) in Nagoya, the publishing of a major international study on The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) (often referred to as the 'Stern Report' for biodiversity), and the United Nations 'International Year of Biodiversity' all converge in 2010. As a result, 2010 is widely seen as a make or break year for biodiversity preservation.
