The report zooms in on economic growth, clean water, food security, rural development, job creation and poverty alleviation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Southeast Asia is one of the most megabiodiverse regions of the globe, with extensive and diverse coral reefs and mangrove areas as well as function as powerful carbon sinks for the planet.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Biodiversity Intactness Index shows that while the developed countries have depleted most of their natural capital, Southeast Asia has best retained its biodiversity, and hosts about 80% of the world\u2019s biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, there is still much to be done, where Southeast Asia could become an agent of change and a role model of economic development through nature protection. Hence, the report aims to serve as useful reference for regional planning for biodiversity conservation and forge sustainable economic development in Southeast Asia. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>Objectives:<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">To assess the state of biodiversity conservation landscape in Southeast Asia since the Rio Earth Summit 1992.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">To identify the main drivers of change and the challenges to biodiversity conservation efforts in the region.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">To create awareness on ecosystem-economy interlinkages and the attending value of sustainable ecosystem services.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">To examine the way forward in ensuring biodiversity conservation efforts are intensified alongside sustainable economic development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These objectives can be achieved via a comprehensive set of strategies as outlined in the Global Biodiversity Framework\u2019s 30&#215;30 conservation target calls for 30% of the world\u2019s terrestrial, inland water, and of coastal and marine areas, to be in effective protection and management by 2030.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The report uses the 8i Nature-Centric Ecosystem Framework as the main foundation to analyse the current strengths and gaps in the ASEAN biodiversity landscape. Nine key recommendations were proposed to close the gaps and ensure that socio-economic development and biodiversity can coexist for planetary health and the well-being of the people of Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A presentation of the report summary &amp; key recommendations was done at the United Nation\u2019s Convention on Biological Diversity (COP-15) in September 2022, which took place in China. The report will serve as a useful reference for Southeast Asia regional planning for biodiversity conservation and forge sustainable economic development partnership initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2323 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR.png 600w, https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR-199x146.png 199w, https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR-50x37.png 50w, https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-BookQR-102x75.png 102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 464px, 464px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2322 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/NexusBioD-Infographic.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"98\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Campaign for Nature (CFN) commissioned a short report that analyses how ASEAN member states could focus on biodiversity conservation and restoration to help achieve the<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":2588,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice-to-the-government"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/04\/shutterstock_1777389356.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2313"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2313\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2332,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2313\/revisions\/2332"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademisains.gov.my\/ar22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
