This structured list of "keywords" has been compiled to aid indexing of conservation and biological diversity information. Terms were selected from lists already in use within IUCN and from such internationally accepted sources as the OECD Macro-thesaurus. This publication is the product of a joint project between the libraries of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, and IUCN.

Prepared as an input to the discussions on the establishment, under the auspices of the Convention, of a clearing house to promote and facilitate technical and scientific cooperation in the field of conservation and sustainabile use of biological diversity.
