A country that covers only 0.03 % of the world’s surface … Can house 30% of the world’s wild cat species?

A country with over 80 % forest cover, >half under PAs and the Constitutional mandate of maintaining at least 60 % in perpetuity.

Looking Back to look ahead

SLIDE 17

Approach to NBSAP

Nationally developed through rigorous consultation.
Lessons from past BAPs and Conservation programmes
Outcome oriented with definite targets- based on

nationally identified issues/threats/potentials.

Clear implementation mechanism.
Resource mobilization and capacity building strategies.
Clear linkage to global targets
Linkages/mainstreaming into national policies and

plans

SLIDE 19

National NBSAP Target 5

By 2018, high-biodiversity value habitats are mapped, the rate of losses accounted, trends monitored and overall loss and fragmentation reduced.

Context:

Many fall within existing 51.44% PA network
But others (IBAs, KBAs, areas rich in crop wild relatives)
utside PAs
Also rate of habitat losses unknown

Strategies

Mapping; Action, REDD+, PES, NAP

Present Protected Area System (51.44%).

SLIDE 21

National NBSAP Target 11

Maintain the current (51.44) Protected area system with enhanced management effectiveness and financial sustainability

Context:

Incomplete physical boundary demarcation & zoning
Biological corridors lacking legal status & operationalization
Lack of sustainable financing mechanism to maintain parks at

highest standards

Strategies

Management effectiveness; sustainable financing mechanisms

SLIDE 22

National NBSAP Target 15

By 2020, priority degraded ecosystems and habitats are identified and rehabilitated

Context:

Information only in quantity but not degree or stages of

degradation

Lack of institutional mechanism to oversee habitat and

ecosystem degradation in a holistic manner

Strategies

National mechanism; Understand degree and causes of

degradation and carry out restoration/rehabilitation, PES, REDD+, NAP

SLIDE 23

Key challenges

Resources (HR + FR)
Indicators – lack of adequate baseline data
M & E
Institutional arrangements, coordination
