Abstract
The general objectives of this National Strategy for By 2030, increase area or natural ecosystems under protection, restore and maintain integrity; biodiversity is conserved and used sustainably in order to contribute to socio-economy development in the form of green growth and adapt to climate change. The Vision until 2050 is: important natural ecosystems, endangered species, rare and precious genetic resources are effectively restored and preserved; biodiversity and ecosystem services are adequately evaluated, sustainably used, generating benefits for the general public, ensuring ecosystem security, adapting to climate change, and sustainably developing the country.
To achieve the general objectives and the vision, specific objectives to 2030, which cover the three main aspects, have been identified. 1. Expand and improve the effectiveness in managing natural heritage and sanctuary systems so that: area of land sanctuaries accounts for 9% of total land area; area of sea and coastal sanctuaries accounts for 3 - 5% of total national seawaters; 70% of sanctuaries and natural heritages are assessed for management effectiveness; national forest cover is maintained within 42% - 43%; recover at least 20% of degraded natural ecosystems. 2. Effectively preserve wild species, especially endangered, rare, and precious species prioritized for protection and migrating species; prevent any additional extinct species; population of at least 10 endangered, rare, precious species are prioritized for protection is improved; stored and preserved genetic resources of wild species and plants, domestic animals reach at least 100.000 genetic resources. 3. Value of biodiversity and ecosystem services are assessed, maintained, and improved via the sustainable use and limited negative impacts on biodiversity; nature-based solutions are implemented and applied in socio-economic development, natural disaster prevention, and adaptation to climate change; promote access and sharing of benefits offered by the use of genetic resources on an equal and reasonable basis.
Tasks and solutions have further been proposed in the policy document. Main solutions include: 1. Develop policies, regulations, institutions for management and enhancement of biodiversity law enforcement; 2. Raise awareness regarding nature and biodiversity conservation; 3. Promote integration and implementation of biodiversity requirements in policy-making and public investment projects; 4. Promote scientific research, development, transfer, and application of advanced technologies in conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity; 5. Ensure financial sources for biodiversity; 6. Strengthen international integration and cooperation on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
