The Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC are the initials for the group's French name) was formed in 1998 as an outgrowth of the once-powerful and extremely violent Groupe Islamique Armée (GIA), whose popularity drastically declined following a series of massacres in which it killed thousands of Algerian civilians.
Largely due to this policy, the GSPC quickly rose to prominence in Algeria's rural areas, where most of its support is located.
In September 2006, the GSPC joined forces with Al Qaeda, and Ayman al-Zawahri announced a “blessed union” between the groups in declaring France and enemy and fighting against French and American interests.

The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) is the first such strategy to be developed under the CBD, and provided a pilot exercise for the development and use of outcome targets under the Strategic Plan of the CBD.
Plants were chosen as the focus of this exercise because scientific understanding of this group—though incomplete and best for the higher plants—is better than for most other kinds of life, allowing for the setting of meaningful targets.
The development of the Strategy, and continuing work under the GSPC, has benefited from a number of consultations and submissions of views from Parties, and from supporting resolutions and related initiatives.
