Descrição
The National Report on the State of Biodiversity, in conjunction with the National
Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), is the main implementation instrument
for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at national level, in accordance with the
provisions of its Article 6. These instruments emphasize a strategic and objective
approach, which aims to inspire a broad action from all stakeholders.
The IV Report was prepared in 2009. With this V Report, the country intends to establish
a certain alignment with the overall orientation contained in the 2011-2020 CBD Strategic
Plan. Thus, on the basis of these guidelines, the report is basically structured to include a
general introduction, a methodological approach to the works and two main chapters -
Chapter I, which analyzes the situation, trends and threats to biodiversity and provides
information on the current status of biodiversity, and the conservation and protection
measures adopted by National Authorities; and Chapter II, which analyzes the current
situation of the NBSAP, provides the current status of its implementation and highlights
the achievements and constraints encountered in its implementation as an environmental
management tool.
It was not possible to include in the main body of the report some information as
suggested in the Guidelines on preparing the V Report given their nature, level of details
and technical-scientific expressions. Nevertheless, given their importance and relevance,
they have been incorporated in annex to allow better understanding of the subject matter.
This report was prepared in four successive stages: (1) collection and desk review of
biodiversity-related information, mainly those produced between 2009 and 2014; (2)
interactive technical meetings with the coordination team; (3) national meeting for
restitution of outcomes, collection of inputs and final technical validation of the report's
guidelines, and (4) drafting of the final version of the document.
