Government Focal Points

Our Focal Points are post-holders in governments who deal substantially with HWC-related matters in their countries. Focal Points are not Members but are liaisons between governments and the HWCCSG, and who bring to the Specialist Group’s attention any needs identified by their governments, to facilitate collaboration and help foster science-policy links for HWC-related aspects of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. See our page on Focal Points for further information.

Working Group Associates

Working Groups are led by Members of the Steering Group, and include several members as well as non-members (Associates), who are listed here. More information about working groups can be found on our Projects page.
