Halt Species Extinction, Protect Genetic

Description

Ensure by 2030, that urgent management actions are taken to prevent the extinction of known threatened species, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity within and between populations of native, wild and domesticated species, including cultivated plants and domesticated animals, and to improve and sustain their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, including through in-situ and ex-situ conservation practices

Please outline the main policy measures or actions that will be taken to achieve this national target.

Modernize conservative and protection biotechnology and biological methods for using wildlife genetic resources in producing food and animal feed, and in controlling pests and diseases,
Improvement and sustenance of in-situ and ex-situ conservation management and practices of most prone to extinct biodiversity species,
Hedging for expected damage and losses of genetic resources due to current civil strives,
Strengthening of legal institutions, enforcement of laws,
Capacity building and training on conservation of genetic resources,
Consolidate on farm applied research, in collaboration with farmers, in conservation of genetic resources,
Establishment of community gene banks and germplasms collected from different parts of the country,

Means to implementation and barriers to implementation

Please indicate if additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target.

Yes (Additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target)

Please explain (Additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target)

Means of implementation

Diagnostic studies on extinct situation of biodiversity genetic resources, micro-organisms, insects, and medicinal plants uses and benefits,
Biotechnology and biological control research centers and facilities,
Established national microbial culture collection laboratories for classification and conservation of indigenous microorganism genetic diversity,
Gazette registration of identified biodiversity species reserves of forest trees, native and domesticated crops and animals,
Action plans for management of wild species plants and animals for medicinal uses, and for reducing human-wildlife conflicts and safe-coexistence,
Updated research methods and laboratory tools and apparatus facilities,
Knowledge of medicinal material and ingredients in biodiversity resources,

Barriers to implementation

Inadequate funds for conducting biodiversity related activities,
Poor awareness on biodiversity resources functions and services,
Poor capacity of staff and local community on protecting and conserving extinct prone species,
Poor enforcement of protective laws and acts

Inadequate staff and local community engagement in management and conservation of biodiversity resources
