The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) projected global perspectives through its Strategic Plan 2006 – 2010 whose aim was to: “contribute to reducing the loss of biological diversity”. The evaluation showed that the objectives of this Strategic Plan have not been achieved. As such, the convention is once again committed to taking up the challenge.
It is in this context that the Parties to the Convention, in 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, with the aim of inspiring far-reaching actions by all countries and stakeholders in support of biodiversity over the next decade. It includes a shared vision, mission, strategic goals and 20 ambitious but achievable targets, called the “Aichi Targets” and serves as a flexible framework for setting national and regional targets and promotes consistent and effective implementation of the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
It is with a view to complying with the new Strategic Plan 2011 – 2020 that Mali has revised its National Strategy and Action Plan for Biological Diversity (SNPA/DB). The objective is to provide the country with a new Strategy and Action Plan for Biological Diversity through a review of the existing Strategy and Action Plan.
The revised version of the SNPA-DB takes into account all the questions that had not been addressed or sufficiently addressed during the development of the first generation. These issues include, among others: gender, poverty reduction, rights of local and indigenous communities, invasive plants, trade, tourism, cross-border aspects, climate change, etc.
In the light of the diagnoses made through studies on the inventory and the state of consideration of biological diversity in national policies, it appears that the threats, degradation and loss of biological diversity still persist and among the causes are essentially management issues and those related to climate change.
It is these issues that the revised strategy will seek to integrate in order to achieve the objective of reducing the loss of biological diversity. To do this, the revision of this strategy notably incorporates the other aspects noted in the implementation and the new concerns raised at the international level.
