    2. 2 Communication, education and public awareness (CEPA) Communication, education and public awareness (CEPA) are a mix of social instruments that underpin the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD); Article 13 of the CBD recognises the need for education and public awareness to secure active involvement of all sectors and levels of society that have a stake in biodiversity; Education and public awareness are critically important to achieving the CBD’s agenda for social change; CEPA plays different roles at different stages of a policy cycle. As a policy is formed, CEPA is used to draw out and balance different ideas about how to proceed; CEPA contributes to quality control of a policy/strategy through monitoring and evaluation.

    3. 3 What is Communication and Public Awareness? Communication Communication is a complex set of interrelated behaviors, which entails the development and sharing of symbolic meaning thus enabling the building of societies. Public Awareness Awareness may be defined as meaning knowledge, realizing, or consciousness. It is knowledge, realization, and consciousness that enable people to understand and reason.

    4. 4 Communication Strategies Four strategies that can be distinguished are: Informing: for instance, informing companies about a new environmental regulation Persuasion: for instance, persuading visitors of a Nature Park to take good care of the park, to clean up litter and not to hunt or fish Dialogue: for instance, dialogue with farmers living in a protected area about a new management plan for this area Formation: for instance, dialogue with future inhabitants of a yet to be built suburb about the desired planning, design and facilities of this suburb
