By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, indigenous and local communities, and the poor and vulnerable.

Canada —
In July 2013, the province of Saskatchewan designated a new protected area in the provincial boreal forest, the Pink Lake Representative Area Ecological Reserve. At 3,660 km2, it is Saskatchewan’s largest protected area. With the Pink Lake designation, protected area coverage in the Churchill River Upland Ecoregion increases from 4.9% to 8.2%. As an ecological reserve, no new industrial development will be allowed in the area. Leases or permits in place at the time of the designation will be grandfathered to allow existing activities to continue. Traditional activities by First Nations and Métis people, as well as recreational hunting and angling, will continue. (NBSAP)

NBSAP (2012) contains 10 ecosystem-specific targets (in addition to 20 national-level targets). All 30 targets are linked to priority actions, timeframes for action, performance indicators and actors/organizations responsible for implementation. (NBSAP)

Iraq —
NBSAP 2015-2020 contains 2 national targets mapped to ABT14. By the end of 2016, the country aimed to have published a national assessment of the status of all services (provisioning, regulating and cultural) provided by natural systems, including an assessment of their importance to both rural and urban populations, and options to ensure their sustainable use. Relatedly, by the end of 2018, the country aimed to have developed a national strategy and subnational strategies for the sustainable management of ecosystems and provision of ecosystem services for rural and urban populations. The NBSAP also indicates that activities are planned to: provide training on ecosystem services for academics, researchers, field teams, local organizations of volunteer or conservation groups, technical employees from governmental bodies; and in relation to CEPA for parliamentarians, decision-makers, religious leaders, opinion leaders, communities, women and youth. (NBSAP)

Croatia —
Specific Objective 4.3 of NBSAP 2017-2025 is mapped to ABT14 and ABT15 and aims to evaluate and map ecosystems and their services with the objective of improving their status. Five activities are associated to varying implementation timeframes through to 2025. Anticipated outcomes include: preparation of a revised map of ecosystem services at the national level and a list of priorities for restoration and enhancement of ecosystems and their services; assessment of the economic value of certain ecosystem services in a number of pilot areas; establishment of an intersectoral working group; preparation and implementation of a number of intersectoral projects for improving ecosystem status; and provision of training for staff members in the nature protection sector in ecosystem services mapping, status assessment and valuation. Entities involved in implementation include inter alia regional and local self-government units. (NBSAP)

Suriname —
Sub-objective 2.7 of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2012-2016 outlines “desired actions” in relation to ecosystem valuation, including preparation of an overview of measurable services provided by Suriname’s ecosystems, and conduct of a pilot project on capitalization of ecosystem services (pricing of products/services). Work was also expected to be conducted on inter alia monitoring the effects of economic activities (e.g. mining, agriculture, industry) on biodiversity, promoting responsible mining, addressing the spread of dangerous objects, substances or organisms in ecosystems, and improving access to information on ecosystems. The need to digitize existing maps and place digital data in a useful format was also highlighted. (NBSAP)

Japan —
Considerable attention is given to the subject of ecosystem services in the National Biodiversity Strategy 2012-2020. National Target D-1, mapped to ABT14, aims to strengthen, by 2020, benefits derived from biodiversity and ecosystem services in Japan and elsewhere, with consideration given to the needs of women and local communities, and carry out work on each species with particular consideration given to the principles underpinning Satochi-Satoyama landscape management. Key action goals focus on: forest planning; regional-level community activities to conserve and manage regional resources, such as agricultural land and water; promotion at national and international levels of the Satoyama Initiative which aims to improve biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being in human-influenced natural environments, through agriculture, forestry and other human activities; promotion of the Green Reconstruction Project (part of reconstruction efforts being carried out pursuant to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake); restoration of coastal forests through the Green Bonds Regeneration Project; implementation of initiatives to create Satoumi areas (coastal areas where biological productivity and biodiversity have increased through human interaction); and development of new policies on the utilization of Biosphere Reserves, better known as “UNESCO Eco Parks” in the country. (NBSAP)

Ethiopia —
Women are recognized as the primary land and natural resource managers in the country. The national gender mainstreaming guideline on biodiversity resources and ecosystem services has been developed and implemented (this has resulted in gender mainstreaming in annual plans for biodiversity and related sectors). Various initiatives, such as the “Leave No Women Behind” Programme and the Heroine/Jegnit Community Movement, are helping to empower Ethiopian women. The appointment of women to the Council of Ministers has reached 50%. (6NR)

Thailand —
As a result of cooperation between the Government, the private sector, communities and volunteer groups, there was a 40% decrease (20,143.4 ha to 12,896 ha) of forest area destroyed by wildlife fires between 2016 and 2017. There has also been a movement built around implementing the Master Plan for Rehabilitating and Conserving Forests and Ecosystems in 25 water basins. A work plan was also developed to protect muddy and sandy beaches from coastal erosion, including through nature-based solutions, such as the use of bamboo poles to create walls to decrease the magnitude of currents. This has resulted in the rehabilitation of mangrove forests, raising awareness of the issue among the people in the area, and in an increase (and dissemination) of knowledge. (6NR)

Slovenia —
Between 2015-2018, the project ‘AlpES - Alpine ecosystem services - mapping, conservation, and management’ was implemented to collect, analyze and distribute information on ecosystem services in the Alpine arc. Implemented by ten partners from six Alpine countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein and Slovenia), the project aimed to introduce a common understanding of ecosystem services within a regional and transnational context, train and support target groups (involved in governance and the protection of ecosystems and their services, including state authorities, policy makers, NGOs, researchers and economic operators) in evaluating and managing ecosystem services. As a result of the project, the concept of ecosystem services is now considered in decision-making processes. The country has also recently carried out considerable work in relation to conservation of pollinators (bees and others) and soils. (6NR)

Saint Lucia —
There are watershed management plans in place for two of seven watersheds. A Sectoral Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan for the Water Sector 2018-2028 is also being implemented which aims to build climate resilience and protect freshwater resources. Participatory approaches to implementing projects on watershed ecosystem restoration are promoted, involving NGOs, CBOs, private entities, and charitable organisations, in addition to private landowners through the establishment of formal agreements with them. In 2018, a reforestation project commenced to stabilize 98 ha of slopes and soils in the Roseau watershed (the country’s most significant watershed) to improve water quality. By the end of 2018, a sizeable nursery of 28,800 plants had been established and 9060 wildlings and 615 cuttings planted on landslide areas. It is expected that these actions will help to stabilize 258.65 ha, significantly exceeding the target of 98 ha. (6NR)

Efforts are being taken to protect the quality of drinking water (groundwater), the country’s most important natural resource, through the designation of drinking water protected areas. (6NR)
