CHM - ORTManaging our biodiversity is a challenging task. It requires a vast amount of people, knowledge, tools, and resources. We need to recognise that various stakeholders have differing capacities to contribute. At the same time, we still need to find means to build their capacities to better implement and coordinate this Policy and support biodiversity conservation in the long run. An efficient, people-centric and forwardlooking, and anchored institutional framework remains crucial to enable everyone to realise the aspirations of this Policy.
To meet this Target, we need to re-evaluate the present capacities of the key implementors of this Policy. In particular, we need to strengthen our Federal and State government agencies, departments, and units to effectively implement this Policy. Personnel with specific skills will need to be recruited to undertake the continuous and long-term effort of coordinating and planning with various stakeholders across all segments of society. We also need to strengthen the interface between translating science and research outcomes into effective policy actions.
