This target aims to ensure that all areas are under integrated spatial planning and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land and sea use change, aiming to increase coverage of and reduce the loss of areas with high biodiversity importance by 2027. This target shall be achieved through participatory and integrated spatial planning of high biodiversity areas and implementing effective management strategies to curtail land-use changes in both terrestrial and marine environments, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, while respecting the rights and duties of ethnic groups and local communities who occupy or care for these areas. Target value is set for 2027 as follows:
1. The rate of natural habitats loss, both on land and along coastal areas, is reduced by 50% (including wetlands, forest areas, mangrove forests, and coastal areas).
2. The integrity status of important natural habitats (coral reefs, seagrass beds) will be improved.
3. At least 15% of significant biodiversity areas are included in the integrated and participatory spatial plans

There are two measures to achieve this national target.
1. Reduce the loss rate of natural biodiversity areas to preserve their capacity to provide ecosystem services, supporting adaptation to climate change.
2. Promote integrated and participatory spatial planning for areas of significant biodiversity.
 

They are reflected in measures and actions taken for this target as attached. Target 1 Reduce BD loss-measures and actions.docx 

Implementation of integrated spatial planning to address negative drivers of land and sea use change, which cause the loss of areas with high biodiversity importance, with the target of significantly reducing such loss by 2027, and continuing toward greater achievement of targets by 2030. The recommended actions are as follows:
1. Integrated spatial planning –This serves as a method or process for analyzing and distributing land use benefits among stakeholders to achieve social, economic, and ecological objectives within a defined area, utilizing approaches such as environmental impact assessments and strategic environmental impact assessments, etc.
2. Effective spatial management processes – In addition to integrated spatial planning, other spatial management processes may be used as alternatives or supplements, such as coastal area management plans, wetland management plans, and watershed management plans, etc.
3. Expand and increase coverage of areas of biodiversity importance. Spatial planning and/or management approaches should be applied to all areas. In other words, the aim should be that, by 2027, the entire territory of each country has been subject to some degree of spatial planning or effective management. This includes all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems—both freshwater and marine—as applicable. 
4. Emphasize the participation of stakeholders in the area to ensure effective spatial planning and management processes in addressing habitat loss, ecosystems, and native species. This includes considering and acknowledging land-use practices of stakeholders, including indigenous peoples and local communities utilizing resources in those areas. This is essential for understanding the context of the area, which is crucial for participatory spatial planning.
