What can you do?

Synergies
 Working with the local communities : more interaction with Locals is required since
Target 16 of CBD New Strategic Plan 2020 : By 2015, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to
Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from
their Utilization is in force and operational, consistent with national legislation
Target 18: By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of
indigenous and local communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable
use of biodiversity, and their customary use of biological resources, are
respected, subject to national legislation and relevant international obligations,
and fully integrated and reflected in the implementation of the Convention with
the full and effective participation of indigenous and local communities, at all
relevant levels.,
Cooperation with TEEB :Investing in Nature Making nature & soil values visible into
decision making is a priority option , putting a price on nature, An increased
appreciation of the values to the society,
Cooperation with Redd Plus Initiative for deforestation . The 68 session of the UN , has
called for immediate action to combat desertification, Draught on national &
regional Level to in arid , semi arid Areas , to achieve SLM , and the outcomes of
2nd Scientific Conference ( don’t leave our Future for draught , Water Scarcity &
Desertification) , a world free of draught & desertification , forests by 2030.
 Wetlands Economic values , Wetlands provide a wide range of ecosystem services
that contribute to human well-being as a source of water, Areas for food
production, Climate change mitigation, by acting as a store of carbon; Coastal
protection, floods Protection , storms, thereby contribute to land formation &
coastal zone stability , reducing the impacts from floods and pollution . A TEEB
Report is greatly required for the region on the Economics Ecosystems ,
biodiversity, of SLM and DLDD,
 Regional cooperation/partnership among Rio Conventions ( UNCCD, CBD, UNFFCC)
 Establishment of Education and Public Awareness Centres at affected Dry
lands

Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and
Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization is in force
and operational, consistent with national legislation ,will be in force
2015.
