Cost-efficient repeatable methods to track biodiversity changes are important for forest and wildlife managers to improve management practices and target conservation efforts at the local scale. Monitoring populations, particularly of threatened species, is a central component of global initiatives such as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) that explicitly require quantifiable biodiversity co-benefits. Similarly, certifications for sustainable forestry, for example by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), require the monitoring of threatened species and protection of High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF). Standardised biodiversity monitoring schemes are of great importance to local governments as there is an increasing need to track and report progress towards the Aichi Targets in a standardised and comprehensive way. However, many parties of the CBD currently struggle with reporting these and measurable indicators on the state of biodiversity are rarely presented. Although the lack of financial resources and commitment are central issues, the lack of standardised and repeatable approaches certainly contributes to the challenges for the CBD parties. |
