Commitment to the natural environment is particularly important in a country like Spain, which is home to a very representative sample of the planet’s biodiversity and has a long list of endemic species.

To halt the loss of biodiversity and get the different governments of the Earth to assume their environmental commitments, at the beginning of the century an international project was launched under the name of “Countdown 2010”. This initiative of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) works to halt the loss of biodiversity, setting 2010 as the first goal for achieving goals.

In April 2006, the Biodiversity Foundation joined the “Countdown 2010”, and currently supports this campaign by working on more than 400 projects for the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, as well as transferring to all public sectors the need to stop the loss of biodiversity.
