A structured framework designed to conserve and enhance biological diversity within a specific area or jurisdiction. It outlines measurable goals and objectives, identifies key actions, and assigns responsibility for their implementation. These plans are often tailored to address local ecological conditions, socioeconomic factors, and existing policies, aiming to mitigate threats to species and habitats.
Such frameworks are instrumental in achieving national and international conservation targets. They provide a strategic approach to resource allocation, promote collaboration among stakeholders, and ensure accountability in conservation efforts. Historically, the development of these frameworks has been driven by increasing awareness of biodiversity loss and the need for coordinated action to safeguard ecosystems.
