- The Review and Update Legislation that supports the creation and management of protected areas, ensuring compliance with national and international commitments
● Identify and designate new protected areas in regions of high biodiversity value, focusing on underrepresented ecosystems.Map critical ecosystems and stakeholders to collaborate to enhance connectivity
● Identify and streamline coordination and reporting of OECMs
● Secure sustainable funding sources for conservation activities, including government budgets, international grants, and private sector contributions
● Enhance Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing on management
effectiveness tools - Involve indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in decision-making processes, recognizing their traditional knowledge and practices.

GBF-T03. 30% of areas are effectively conserved GBF-T03. 30% of areas are effectively conservedEnsure and enable that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, and of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, are effectively conserved and managed through ecologically representative, well-connected and equitably governed systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, recognizing indigenous and traditional territories where applicable, and integrated into wider landscapes, seascapes and the ocean, while ensuring that any sustainable use, where appropriate in such areas, is fully consistent with conservation outcomes, recognizing and respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, including over their traditional territories. | High |
GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zero GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zeroEnsure that all areas are under participatory, integrated, and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land and sea use change, to bring the loss of areas of high biodiversity importance, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, close to zero by 2030, while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. | High |
GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restoration GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restorationEnsure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems are under effective restoration, in order to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, ecological integrity and connectivity. | High |
GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managedEnsure urgent 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 sustainable management practices, and effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize human-wildlife conflict for coexistence. | Low |
GBF-T08. Minimize impacts of climate change and ocean acidification including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches GBF-T08. Minimize impacts of climate change and ocean acidification including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approachesMinimize the impact of climate change and ocean acidification on biodiversity and increase its resilience through mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction actions, including through nature-based solution and/or ecosystem-based approaches, while minimizing negative and fostering positive impacts of climate action on biodiversity. | Medium |
GBF-T15. Businesses assess and disclose biodiversity dependencies, impacts and risks, and reduce negative impacts GBF-T15. Businesses assess and disclose biodiversity dependencies, impacts and risks, and reduce negative impactsTake legal, administrative or policy measures to encourage and enable business, and in particular to ensure that large and transnational companies and financial institutions:
(a) Regularly monitor, assess, and transparently disclose their risks, dependencies and impacts on biodiversity, including with requirements for all large as well as transnational companies and financial institutions along their operations, supply and value chains and portfolios;
(b) Provide information needed to consumers to promote sustainable consumption patterns;
(c) Report on compliance with access and benefit-sharing regulations and measures, as applicable;
in order to progressively reduce negative impacts on biodiversity, increase positive impacts, reduce biodiversity-related risks to business and financial institutions, and promote actions to ensure sustainable patterns of production. | Medium |
Promote ecosystem services that contribute to health, such as clean water and air, and integrate biodiversity considerations into health policies and programs
Acknowledge and respect diverse cultural values
Enhance awareness and understanding of biodiversity values in protected areas
Ensure women’s participation in decision-making processes and support gender-responsive conservation programs. in protected areas
Ensure conservation initiatives do not infringe on the rights of local communities and promote equitable access to natural resources in protected areas
Ensure that conservation actions in protected areas support sustainable development and do not hinder socio-economic development of local communities.
The approach is holistic, Whole of government and whole of society approach taking into account the diverse needs and rights of all stakeholders, and ensuring sustainable and effective biodiversity conservation Ecosystem approach and contribution and rights of IPLCs
Secure adequate funding to support conservation of the protected areas
Involve Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) in decision-making processes, respecting their rights and incorporating their traditional knowledge in developing positive incentives.
Foster cooperation among different sectors (agriculture, forestry, fisheries) and levels of government to create synergies and avoid conflicting policies.
Support research and monitoring programs, apply innovative conservation technologies, and use evidence-based approaches for biodiversity management. in protectes areas
Goal A:Direct and Indirect Drivers: By expanding and enhancing protected and conserved areas, this target addresses direct drivers of biodiversity loss, such as habitat destruction, and indirect drivers, like unsustainable land use practices.
Value and Conservation: Recognizing the role of indigenous territories and OECMs highlights the value of biodiversity and promotes its wise use and conservation.
Target 3:Conservation Areas Expansion: The expansion of protected areas, OECMs, and the recognition of indigenous and traditional territories align with the goal of increasing the area under conservation.
Positive Outcomes for Biodiversity: Each approach aims to manage these areas effectively to achieve long-term, positive outcomes for biodiversity.
Inclusive Conservation: Emphasizing the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities ensures that conservation efforts are inclusive and respect local governance and knowledge systems.
