Elements of GBF Target 3 covered: Dominica’s National Target 3 covers the main elements of GBF Target 3 by committing to conserve at least 30% of land and inland waters and 30% of coastal and marine areas by 2030 through protected areas and OECMs that are effectively managed, ecologically representative, connected and equitably governed. It also explicitly recognizes Indigenous rights, which is highly relevant to the Kalinago.
A reference period is available. The most recent global dataset reports Dominica’s protected-area and OECM coverage for 2025, with data available through Protected Planet / WDPA / WD-OECM and Target Tracker. For 7NR reporting, Dominica may use 2025 as the latest reference year, or 2020–2025 as the GBF implementation reference period, subject to verification against national protected area records. Current international data indicate approximately 21.39% coverage of terrestrial and inland waters, 0.06% coverage of marine and coastal areas, and 0 reported OECMs.
