On behalf of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH (German Technical Cooperation), and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity it is our pleasure to make available to you the new Poster Generation Tool. This tool will guide users in preparing posters on national biodiversity strategies and action plans, or equivalent instruments, and links to the 2010 Biodiversity Target. Complete information on the 2010 Biodiversity Target is available at www.biodiv.org/2010-target. The posters will be presented at the CBD meetings including COP 9.

This tool follows the very successful launch of the MDG Poster Book (2006) - a user’s manual on how to prepare, create and present community-level work in a visual poster format, which clearly demonstrates linkages to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). 

This tool will enable you to easily create a poster from your own computer, save it for future use, and print it. Through consultations with communities and organisations that have already created a poster, it is clear that these posters are an extremely valuable aid in summarizing, analyzing, and communicating project activities and achievements.
