National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans

National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) are comprehensive frameworks developed by countries to protect and sustainably manage their natural diversity—plants, animals, and ecosystems. They outline specific goals, actions, and policies to conserve habitats, prevent species extinction, and balance development with nature. NBSAPs help countries prioritize environmental efforts, track progress, and fulfill international commitments, such as those under the Convention on Biological Diversity. Overall, they serve as practical roadmaps ensuring that biodiversity is preserved for current and future generations.
