Biodiversité

Dans le cadre du projet  Life Marha (Marine habitats), piloté par l’Office Français de la Biodiversité (OFB), le Pôle-relais lagunes méditerranéennes accompagne les animateurs et gestionnaires de sites N2000 dans l’évaluation de l’état de conservation de l’habitat 1150« Lagunes méditerranéennes » avec la méthode parue en 2019 et le classeur de fiches techniques paru fin 2020 en appui à la mise en œuvre opérationnelle.

Decision-making products that support effective marine spatial planning are essential for guiding efforts that enable conservation of biodiversity facing increasing pressures. Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are a product recently agreed upon by an international network of organizations for identifying globally important areas.

It is nearly three decades since the world recognized the need for a global multilateral treaty aiming to address accelerating biodiversity loss. However, biodiversity continues to decline at a concerning rate. Drawing on lessons from the implementation of the current strategic plan of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the 2010 Aichi Targets, we highlight three interlinked core areas, which require attention and improvement in the development of the post‐2020 Biodiversity Framework under the Convention on Biological Diversity. They are: (1) developing robust theories of change which define agreed, adaptive plans for achieving targets; (2) using models to evaluate assumptions and effectiveness of different plans and targets; and (3) identifying the common but differentiated responsibilities of different actors/states/countries within these plans.
