| − | The Global Genome Biodiversity Network is proud to announce its 4<sup>th</sup> International Conference on Biodiversity Biobanking, which will be held in Shenzhen, China in March 2021. The theme of the meeting is “ Widening GGBN’s Horizon – engaging new users and collections”. The meeting is intended to communicate ideas, new tools, expertise on biodiversity biobanking, and to encourage biodiversity collections to make databases of genomic collections public and broadly available for research while respecting the spirit of the Nagoya Protocol. We hope you will be able to join us.

| − | Formed in October 2011, the '''Global Genome Biodiversity Network''' (GGBN) is an international network of 91 institutions that share an interest in long-term preservation of genomic samples representing the diversity of non-human life on Earth. GGBN provides a platform for biodiversity repositories from across the world to collaborate, ensuring quality standards for DNA and tissue collections, standards for genomic samples, improving best practices for the preservation and use of such collections, and harmonizing the exchange of material in accordance with national and international legislation and conventions. The preservation of the genomic diversity of the Tree of Life is a monumental and interdisciplinary task, grander than any one institution can manage alone. GGBN meets this challenge through a worldwide network of biodiversity repositories.
