The Convention on Biological Diversity promotes Social Diversity, not Biological

From the 18'th to the 29'th October this year the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 10) was held in Japan. This conference is held because of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which is an United Nations international agreement which came into force in 1993. The purpose of the Convention is stated on their website:

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) entered into force on 29 December 1993. It has 3 main objectives:

1. The conservation of biological diversity 2. The sustainable use of the components of biological diversity 3. The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources

Judging by their stated objectives, the CBD exists to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, now frequently called biodiversity. However, if we take a look at the outcomes decided at COP 10 instead of their stated goals, we can see that biological diversity takes a backseat to social diversity.....

Taking a look at UN documents shows the attempt to conserve biological diversity really is an attempt to ensure social diversity.
