Abstract
Nowadays, the environmental changes are witnessed at their highest rate. The most significant changes are gene deterioration, reduction of species and loss of biodiversity in communities. Biodiversity constitutes the essential basis for life on the Earth, providing various functions and values. It also includes all species, ecosystems and ecological processes, and therefore has its own economic value. During the last 30 years, globalization of the environment has made many institutes and legal instruments focus on conservation of biodiversity. Due to the imminent crisis in biodiversity conservation, there is an urgent need to improve the legal framework for this matter at three national, regional and international levels. Notably, many countries have conducted some comparative studies to amend their existing laws with the new ones at the international level. Considering the international studies and their correspondence to internal laws, development of an integrated and compatible approach to the biodiversity protection seems to be essential. This review aims at studying the Iranian laws and regulations governing the biodiversity conservation along with examination of the most prominent conventions on biodiversity in the world.
