Partners
The Partnership brings together a host of international organisations working to support the regular delivery of biodiversity indicators at the global, national and regional levels.
Partners of the BIP can be separated into the following categories:
| STEERING COMMITTEE Advise on the general direction of the BIP project, and review and provide advice on key outputs |
KEY INDICATOR PARTNERS Develop and implement the biodiversity indicators |
ASSOCIATE INDICATOR PARTNERS Assist in the development and implementation of the indicator suite, and/or provide support to the Partnership |
AFFILIATE PARTNERS Work towards similar aims and objectives as the BIP, although at different scales |

Famous quotes containing the word partners:
“And one of his partners asked “Has he vertigo?” and the other glanced out and down and said “Oh no, only about ten feet more.””
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one’s partners in the waltz of this world—not much remembered when the ball is over.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
