A landmark even was held in October in Nagoya, Japan, when the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, or CBD, met for their 10th formal "Conference of the Parties." at this important meeting, the revised Global Strategy for Plant Conservation was approved, and a new protocol for dealing with access to genetic resources and sharing of the benefits was approved.
