CHM - ORTThis target focuses on eliminating, reducing, or mitigating the impacts of invasive alien species in two main ways: (a) by identifying and managing pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment, and (b) by eradicating or controlling invasive alien species that have been introduced and established. Target value is set for 2027 and 2030 as follows:
1. The conservation and protection status of threatened and endemic species increase by 25% (for threatened animal species).
2. By 2027, the Red List Index does not decrease from the 2020 baseline data, and by 2030, the Red List Index does not decrease from the 2025 baseline data.
3. The number of wild species found in natural habitat surveys does not decrease.
4. The trend of human-wildlife conflicts decreases, and measures to address these conflicts have been increased.
5. By 2027, management measures are in place for at least 30% of high-priority invasive alien species, and by 2030, management measures are in place for at least 35% of high priority invasive alien species.
There are four measures to achieve this national target.
1. Establish mechanisms, plans, and/or measures, and support the implementation of protection, conservation, and restoration efforts for wild species, endemic species identified in surveys, and threatened species in Thailand Red Data.
2. Support initiatives to sustainably resolve coexistence issues between humans and wildlife, maintaining a balanced relationship.
3. Develop and promote management strategies for the prevention, control, eradication, and/or utilization of invasive alien species, with participation from all sectors.
4. Develop and support management to manage hybrid wildlife, prevent, control, and/or utilize hybrid wildlife with the participation of all sectors.

Target 3 Management of threatened and alien species-measures and actions.docx
Implement urgent management actions to halt the extinction of threatened species, ensure their recovery and conservation to significantly reduce extinction risk. Maintain and restore genetic diversity within and between populations of native and domesticated species to preserve their adaptive potential, through both in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable management practices. Effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize conflict and promote coexistence.
Eliminate, reduce, and/or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by: identifying and managing introduction pathways of alien species; preventing the introduction and establishment of high-priority invasive species; reducing rates of introduction and establishment of other invasive or potentially invasive alien species; and eliminating or controlling invasive alien species, especially in important and sensitive areas such as national parks and their surroundings, islands, etc.
Implement measures to halt the extinction of native and threatened species, enhance the management of invasive alien species, and reduce human-wildlife conflicts to preserve the country's genetic diversity. These efforts should commence by 2027, with continued progress towards more ambitious targets by 2030. To achieve this, the following actions should be considered:
1) Assessment of threatened species status and focus on threatened species management and restoration.
2) Halt human-induced extinction, reduce the risk of biodiversity and ecosystem loss, and conserve the genetic diversity of native species.
3) Enhance the efficiency of invasive alien species management and implement continuous measures.
4) Reduce human-wildlife conflict.
