Ensure management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and for the recovery and conservation of species, in particular threatened species, to significantly reduce extinction risk, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity within and between populations of native, wild and domesticated species to maintain their adaptive potential, including through in situ and ex situ conservation, and develop and implement strategies to promote sustainable management practices, reduce human wildlife conflict (HWC) and promote coexistence, and increase benefits accruing to indigenous peoples and local communities.

1. Strengthen environmental law and policy enforcement capacity
2. Improve monitoring and species recovery programs for all threatened species
3. Strengthen, develop and implement human-wildlife conflict management and mitigation strategy
4. Establish and enforce regulations on genetic resource conservation.
5. Promote in situ and ex situ conservation programs
6. Enhance community-based wildlife conservation and monitoring initiatives
    

These considerations were taken into account through a participatory and consultative process. The process involved an inception workshop, a series of stakeholder consultations, technical working group meetings, and validation workshops. The process was coordinated by the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife (MECW), through the Department of Wildlife and Forestry Resources Management.

Contribution to KM-GBF Global Goals:

1. Global Goal A – Ecosystem Integrity and Species Survival

• Implement species-specific recovery programmes to halt human-induced extinction of threatened species.
• Maintain and restore genetic diversity of wild, domesticated, and managed species to enhance adaptive capacity.
• Strengthen in situ and ex situ conservation, including conservation breeding and long-term genetic resource facilities (e.g. gene banks).

2. Global Goal B – Sustainable Use and Nature’s Contributions to People

• Reduce human–wildlife conflict through mitigation measures, early-warning systems, and compensation mechanisms.
• Promote coexistence approaches that safeguard livelihoods and human safety while conserving wildlife.
• Support community-based monitoring and response units to enhance stewardship and local participation.

3. Global Goal C – Fair and Equitable Benefit-Sharing

• Establish and enforce legal and regulatory frameworks for conservation and utilization of genetic resources.
• Domesticate and operationalise the Nagoya Protocol, including tracking use of genetic resources and digital sequence information (DSI).
• Recognise and protect Indigenous Peoples’ and Local Communities’ (IPLCs) roles as custodians of genetic resources and traditional knowledge.

4. Global Goal D – Means of Implementation and Resource Mobilisation

• Allocate substantial financial resources under Strategic Objective 1 for species recovery and genetic diversity actions.
• Build technical and institutional capacity through training of enforcement officers, scientists, and community monitors.
• Strengthen inter-agency coordination, governance systems, and regulatory infrastructure to support long-term implementation.

1. Capacity building for communities on co-existence with wildlife 
2. Policy and legislative frameworks .
