  2. Biodiversity targets Globally and nationally, fell short of reaching 2010 target to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss UN Convention on Biological Diversity held at Nagoya, Japan, Autumn 2010 agreed new Aichi targets In 2011, the UK National Ecosystem Assessment examined economic and social value of biodiversity Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Partnership

  3. Aichi Targets 20 targets set – 2 examples: Target 5 – Habitat loss: By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats is at least halved Target 11 – Protected areas: By 2020, at least 17 % of terrestrial and inland water, are conserved and effectively managed, and integrated into the wider landscape Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Partnership

  4. LBAP Work LBAP – original development in 2001 All Action Plans written by 2005 60 partner organisations involved By 2010, many targets achieved and plans needed updating 2012 – 14: Revision of 41 plans achieved by lead partners and Ruth Moffatt Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Partnership

  6. LBAP Target headlines

  7. Totals will deliver 17% of area in semi natural management, as per Aichi target Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Partnership
