Table 5-1 Status of 2010 Biodiversity Target

Subsidiary targets	Status	Details
Goal1	Promote the conservation of the biological diversity of ecosystems, habitats and biomes
1.1: At least 10% of each of the world's ecological regions effectively conserved.	More than half of terrestrial eco-regions meet the 10% target. However, management effectiveness is low for some protected areas. Marine and inland water systems lack protection, though this is increasing.
1.2: Areas of particular importance to biodiversity protected.	An increasing proportion of the sites of importance for conserving birds, and those holding the last remaining populations of endangered species, are being protected.
Goal2	Promote the conservation of species diversity
2.1: Restore, maintain, or reduce the decline of populations of species of selected taxonomic groups.	Many species continue to decline in abundance and distribution. However, some efforts have resulted in the recovery of targeted species.
2.2: Status of endangered species improved.	Species are on average at increasing risk of extinction. However some species have moved to lower risk categories.
Goal3	Promote the conservation of genetic diversity
3.1: Genetic diversity of crops, livestock, and other valuable species conserved, and associated indigenous and local knowledge maintained.	Progress has been made towards conserving genetic diversity of crops through ex situ actions; however agricultural systems continue to be simplified. Genetic resources in situ and traditional knowledge are protected through some projects, but continue to decline overall.
Goal4	Promote sustainable use and consumption
4.1: Products derived from sources that are sustainably managed, and production areas managed consistent with the conservation of biodiversity.	Progress for some components of biodiversity such as forests and some fisheries. Globally, sustainable use does not account for a large share.
4.2: Unsustainable consumption, of biological resources or the impacts upon biodiversity, reduced.	Unsustainable consumption has increased and continues to be a major cause of biodiversity loss.
4.3: No species of wild fauna or flora endangered by international trade.	Wild fauna and flora continue to decline as a result of international trade, but successes achieved particularly through implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Goal5	Pressures from habitat loss, land use change and degradation, and unsustainable water use, reduced
5.1: Rate of loss and degradation of natural habitats decreased.	Some progress in reducing the rate of loss in areas, but many biodiversity sensitive regions continue to decline.
Goal6	Control threats from invasive alien species
6.1: Pathways for major potential alien invasive species controlled.	Not achieved globally as the introduction of invasive alien species continues to increase as a result of greater transport, trade, and tourism. However, action related to plant protection and ballast water promises to reduce the risk of new invasions.
6.2: Management plans in place for major alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitats or species.	Not achieved globally, though some management plans are in place. Most countries lack effective management programs.
Goal7	Address challenges to biodiversity from climate change, and pollution
7.1: Maintain and enhance resilience of the components of biodiversity to adapt to climate change.	Limited action has been taken to enhance the resilience of biodiversity. However, the establishment of biodiversity corridors may help species to migrate and adapt to new climatic conditions.
7.2: Reduce pollution and its impacts on biodiversity.	Measures to reduce the impacts of pollution on biodiversity have been taken, resulting in the recovery of some previously heavily degraded ecosystems. However, many previously pristine areas are being degraded. Nitrogen deposition continues to be major threat to biodiversity in many regions.
Goal8	Maintain capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services and support livelihoods
8.1: Capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services maintained.	There have been continuing and in some cases escalating pressures on ecosystems. However, there have been some actions taken, to ensure the continued provision of ecosystem services.
8.2: Biological resources that support sustainable livelihoods, local food security and others, especially of poor people.	Many of the biological resources, such as fish, mammals, birds, amphibians and medicinal plants, are in decline, with the world's poor being particularly affected.
Goal9	Maintain socio-cultural diversity of indigenous and local communities
9.1: Protect traditional knowledge, innovations and practices.	Long-term declines in traditional knowledge and rights continue, despite the actions taken to protect them in some areas.
9.2: Protect the rights of indigenous and local communities over their traditional knowledge, innovations and practices, including their rights to benefit sharing.	An increasing number of co-management systems and community-based protected areas have been established.
Goal10	Ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources
10.1: All transfers of genetic resources are in line with the Convention on Biological Diversity, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and other applicable agreements.	An increasing number of material transfer agreements have been developed under the Treaty.
