NORWAY:
Having ratified the Convention in July 1993, Norway
has already initiated implementation, including the creation of an
inter-ministerial group on biodiversity. In May 1993, Norway hosted
an expert panel on biodiversity bringing together participants from
80 countries, and created fifteen national parks covering 20
percent of the country. Regionally, Norway serves as the lead
nation for the Nordic Action Plan and, internationally, it is
assisting Indonesia in its country study as a step toward
developing a national strategy.
