Component 1
Directly relevant obligations and commitments
- Review national and regional programmes for the systematic collection of ecological and socio-economic data on fisheries and on aquaculture of relevance to Ramsar sites: Ramsar Resolution IX.4, 29
Improve and update national and regional databases on PAs and consolidate the WDPA as a key support mechanism in the assessment and monitoring of PA status and trends: CBD Decision VII/28, 19 and CBD Decision VII/28, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 1
- Use the toolkits for the identification, designation, management, monitoring and evaluation of national and regional systems of PAs: CBD Decision VIII/24, 29 SEE COMMENTARY 2
- Establish mechanisms to document knowledge on PA management and identify knowledge and skills gaps: CBD Decision VII/28, 19 and CBD Decision VII/28, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 3
- Develop and use appropriate technology for habitat rehabilitation and restoration, resource mapping, biological inventory, rapid assessment of biodiversity, monitoring of in-situ and ex-situ conservation and sustainable use: BD Decision VII/28, 19 CBD Decision VII/28, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 4
- Implement national and regional programmes to assess the status and trends of biodiversity within PA systems and sites: CBD Decision VII/28, 19 and CBD Decision VII/28, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 5
- Make taxonomic guides to key invertebrate organisms in mangrove systems to aid management of the continuum from natural to disturbed mangrove ecosystems and to assist in selecting sites for PAs and for resource valuation: CBD Decision VI/8, 2 and CBD Decision VI/8, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 6
- Make regional and sub-regional guides based on ethical research practices and developed with participation of indigenous and local communities to highlight the similarities and differences between the two taxonomies, which may be in the form of catalogues and species lists, or be more targeted resource material that provides interpretation information for a wide variety of environmental managers, in particular PA and conservation managers: CBD Decision VI/8, 2 and CBD Decision VI/8, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 7
Indirectly relevant obligations and commitments
- Develop joint mapping and GIS: MAB Recommendations Goal 3 SEE COMMENTARY 8
- Develop guidelines for management plans and principles for evaluating visual impacts for activities in and adjacent to World Heritage properties in cooperation with other Committee members, States Parties, the Advisory Bodies and the World Heritage Centre: WHC Decision 30 COM 11B SEE COMMENTARY 9
- Improve data management and associated databases for assessment and monitoring of mountain biodiversity: CBD Decision VII/27, 3 and CBD Decision VII/27, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 10
- Enhance and improve national technical capacity to monitor forest biodiversity and develop associated databases as required on a global scale: CBD Decision VI/22, 28 and CBD Decision VI/22, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 11
- Develop information systems and strategies for in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable use of forest genetic diversity, and promote their implementation, also in other countries: CBD Decision VI/22, 28 and CBD Decision VI/22, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 12
- Review and adopt a harmonized global to regional forest classification system, based on harmonized and accepted forest definitions and addressing key forest biodiversity elements: CBD Decision VI/22, 28 and CBD Decision VI/22, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 13
- Develop national forest classification systems and maps: CBD Decision VI/22, 28 and CBD Decision VI/22, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 14
- Develop specific forest ecosystems surveys in priority areas for conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity: CBD Decision VI/22, 28 and CBD Decision VI/22, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 15
- Make a series of regional guides to freshwater fish and invertebrates (including adult terrestrial forms where appropriate) as an input to ecosystem monitoring for river and lake health: CBD Decision VI/8, 2 and CBD Decision VI/8, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 16
- Extend the use of early-warning systems for coral bleaching by enhancing current remote sensing capabilities and accessibility to developing countries: CBD Decision V/3, 2 and CBD Decision V/3, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 17
- Develop methods and techniques for assessing and monitoring the status and trends of agricultural biodiversity and other components of biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems: CBD Decision V/5, 4 and CBD Decision V/5, Annex SEE COMMENTARY 18
- Provide inputs on the development and application of methodologies for assessing agricultural biodiversity and tools for identification and monitoring, including criteria and indicators for agricultural biodiversity, including those addressing farming systems and agricultural ecosystems: CBD Decision IV/6, 6 SEE COMMENTARY 19
- Use the criteria based on fish for identifying Wetlands of International Importance and the guidelines for their application to identify and designate sites for inclusion in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance: Ramsar Resolution VI.2, 5 + 7
- Ensure that the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands, and of migratory species and their habitats, are fully incorporated into national strategies, plan and programmes to preserve biodiversity: CBD Decision III/21, 8
