🌿 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: This target focuses on wild species. Wild species are populations of species that have not been domesticated and can survive independently of human intervention. They can be found in any environment.
🌿 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬: In addition to the direct pressures on species, some harvesting, trade and use can have unintentional impacts on other species, such as through bycatch and/or damage to habitat. These impacts, though unintentional, can nonetheless have major ramifications on species and ecosystem health and must be minimized.
🌿 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡: It is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way. Application of the ecosystem approach helps to reach a balance of the three objectives of the Convention (conservation, sustainable use, and fair and equitable benefit sharing). It is based on the application of appropriate scientific methodologies focused on levels of biological organization that encompass the essential processes, functions and interactions among organisms and their environment. It recognizes that humans, with their cultural diversity, are an integral component of ecosystems. The ecosystem approach is the primary framework for action under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
🌿 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬:The implementation of this Target should take into account indigenous and local systems for the control, use and management of natural resources, and they should not restrict such customary sustainable use. Customary use of biological resources includes spiritual, cultural, economic and subsistence functions.
