The Fiji National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) 2026–2030 provides Fiji’s national roadmap for conserving, restoring, and sustainably managing biodiversity while contributing to sustainable development and climate resilience. Guided by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), the NBSAP establishes a long-term vision that by 2050, Fiji’s biodiversity will be conserved, restored, and sustainably used to support resilient ecosystems, thriving communities, and a sustainable blue and green economy. The Strategy is built around four key goals: Protect and Restore, Prosper with Nature, Share Benefits Fairly, and Invest and Collaborate, recognizing biodiversity as a cornerstone of Fiji’s culture, livelihoods, food security, and economic prosperity.

On 22 April 2026, the Fiji Cabinet endorsed the Fiji NBSAP 2026–2030, reaffirming the Government’s commitment to strengthening national efforts to protect and sustainably manage Fiji’s natural environment. The Strategy responds to increasing pressures on biodiversity, including climate change, habitat degradation, invasive species, pollution, and unsustainable resource use. It aligns Fiji’s national priorities with global biodiversity targets and establishes 23 national targets to be achieved by 2030, including protecting and effectively managing 30% of terrestrial and marine areas, restoring 30% of degraded ecosystems, strengthening species conservation, improving sustainable resource management, and ensuring equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources.

The NBSAP 2026-2030 will guide coordinated national action through a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, bringing together government agencies, resource owners, communities, civil society organizations, academia, development partners, and the private sector. It provides a framework for implementation, monitoring, financing, and reporting, while supporting access to international biodiversity and climate finance. Through its implementation, Fiji aims to strengthen ecosystem resilience, safeguard biodiversity, and ensure that natural resources continue to support economic growth, food security, cultural heritage, and the well-being of present and future generations.
