The main goal of this service is to ensure the mechanism of
efficient exchange of information on biological diversity in Poland between involved
persons and institutions. It is also assumed, that the service will facilitate the access
to the information on biodiversity status and management in Poland. It was decided to
achieve the above goals, using a Clearing House Mechanism (CHM), understood as a system of
information exchange.
In line with the CHM philosophy, the system shall help to combine
information from different sources, provide easy access to and render available for public
circulation the information, databases and analytic elaborations provided by various
stakeholders.
The system of exchange of information on Biological Diversity in
Poland refers to similar solutions encountered worldwide and especially to the Clearing House Mechanism
functioning at the Secretariat
of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Welcome!
Polish CHM was created in the Institute of Environmental Protection in
Warsaw in 1997. It operates under the Convention on Biological Diversity
and because of that it is authorised to use the CHM logo
