Task Force Leader: Harvey Locke Business Manager Marie-Eve Marchand
For more information on the task force activities visit their website IUCN WCPA Beyond the Aichi Targets Task Force TOR April 2017 Building on the Beyond Aichi sessions held at the World Parks Congress in Sydney in 2014, the purpose of the WCPA’s Beyond the Aichi Targets Task Force is two-fold:
Informed by the best available science, and a range of perspectives, the Task Force will ask and seek to answer what are truly sustainable conservation targets. It is understood that in a world of 7.5 billion, the targets will vary by ecological and social conditions and thus will require an ecoregion by ecoregion approach. The Task Force will not endeavour to impose a “one size fits all” approach. Three Global Conditions for Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use: an implementation framework To save what’s left of nature on this increasingly human planet, conservation needs to become a top priority around the world, from the wildest of wildlands to the densest of cities. We have developed the Three Global Conditions for Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use implementation framework that identifies three conditions around the world: farms and cities, shared landscapes, and large wild areas. According to each condition, suites of conservation responses and production practices are proposed to improve the state of biodiversity and to secure nature’s contributions to people while allowing for ambitious global targets. This approach would achieve scale and fairness by ensuring that every Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity has a program of action to address the condition of its own biodiversity domestically with like actions for similar conditions across the world.
