Biodiversity Outcomes Framework



Canada's Biodiversity Outcomes Framework[1] was approved by Ministers responsible for Environment, Forests, Parks, Fisheries and Aquaculture, and Wildlife in October 2006. It has been developed further to the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy [2], an implementation measure required under Article 6 of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. [3] [4]

Criticism of the Framework

The Framework has been developed from the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy, which has been criticized as having a tendency to focus on species and to assign less importance to other scales of biodiversity from the genetic to the ecosystem level.[5]
