A number of scientists from all parts of the world have decided to combine their efforts in initiating DIVERSITAS, a partnership of inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, formed to promote, facilitate and catalyse scientific research on biodiversity - its origin, composition, ecosystem function, maintenance, and conservation. The goal of DIVERSITAS is to provide accurate scientific information and predictive models of the status of biodiversity and sustainability of the use of the Earth's biotic resources, and to build a world-wide capacity for the science of biodiversity

Historically the First Nations have a unique and special relationship with the people of Canada, as manifested in treaties and other historical documents. In essence, the special relationship is one of peaceful coexistence based on equitable sharing of lands and resources, and ultimately on respect, recognition, and enforcement of our respective right to govern ourselves. The AFN exists to promote the "restoration and enhancement" of this relationship and to ensure that it is mutually beneficial to the First Nations people.

The goals of the Database are: (1) to provide a qualified reference system on alien species for the Baltic Sea area, available online for environmental managers, researchers, students and all concerned; (2) to update the information on the Baltic Sea alien species, their biology, vectors of introduction, spread, impacts on environment and economy through the online questionnaire involving the data flow from research institutions and responsible environmental authorities; (3) to encourage the exchange of data among different geographical regions and thereby to serve a node in the Global Information System for Invasive Species. The systematisation work on the Baltic alien species was initiated by individual researchers in previous decades; at present it is continued jointly by the Baltic Marine Biologists Working Group on Non-indigenous Estuarine and Marine Organisms (BMB WG NEMO).

In 1997, the Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM), with the support of the European Commission, developed a voluntary code of conduct, the so called Micro-organisms Sustainable Use and Access Regulation International Code of Conduct (MOSAICC), which covers the terms of access to microbial genetic resources, including the terms of agreement on benefit-sharing, access to and transfer of technology, scientific and technical cooperation as well as technology transfer. Moreover, in 2004, BCCM has launched a project to develop a “Microorganisms Sustainable use and Access management Integrated Conveyance System” (MOSAICS).
