  2. …how to safeguard biodiversity … how to achieve real cooperative research which will yield a benefit for all involved partners Motivation of this workshop

  3. The following slides will give an example – project funding in cooperation with developing countries. Biodiversity research as part of the German Global Change research (Research for sustainability) BMBF-project funding given as an example

  4. International links of the German biodiversity research

  5. Not commercial oriented but oriented to achieve results which should find the way into practice (no „pure“ basic research) Capacity building Close partnerships Organized data management Common publications Benefit for the local people Characteristics of the application oriented research

  6. Funding of the programmesBIOLOG, BioTeam, Mata Atlântica, GBIF-D Budget: about 16 Mio € /annum Cooperation with developing and megadiverse countries:Benin, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, Ethiopia, Equador, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Namibia, Rep. South Africa, Uganda Current Funding by BMBF

(visits, WTZ) - Close dialogue between all involved scientists Best preconditions (2):

  12. General rules: To accept the CBD guidelines Further instruments for BMBF /PT: (WTZ, Visits, common symposia, etc) Project funding conditions (3):
