Governments from all over the world have joined Countdown 2010 to strengthen their commitments to the 2010 Target. Countdown 2010 plays a crucial role in helping leaders move from words to action by jointly developing specific measures for biodiversity conservation. For instance, in Europe, Countdown 2010 works closely with each Presidency of the EU Council to ensure that biodiversity is kept high on the political agenda while in South America it acts through the Andean Community of Nations.
