Belgium —
The Belgium Ecosystem Services (BEES) network, a community of practice aiming to connect different societal actors involved in ecosystem services research, practice and policy-making was launched in April 2012. (NBSAP)

Colombia —
A national system for deforestation and carbon monitoring has been developed. (NBSAP)
|

Germany —
In 2012, the German Research Association (DFG) decided to support a research centre for integrative biodiversity research (€33 million over a five-year period, including eight new professorships). (NBSAP)

Ghana —
Action Plan 19 of NBSAP (2016) is mapped to ABT19. The Action Plan contains two strategic objectives: to use science and technology for disseminating biostatistics for the effective management of biodiversity; and to enhance research and development in agricultural biodiversity. By the end of 2017, the country aimed to have initiated biodiversity publications, websites, social media presence and have disseminated biodiversity information nationally and internationally. By mid-2018, it aimed to have identified and published research gaps for improving agricultural biodiversity conservation and, by the end of 2018, have trained or engaged personnel in programs in biodiversity and agriculture. (NBSAP)

Cambodia —
Target 19 of NBSAP (2016) is mapped to ABT19. By 2020, the country aims to establish and maintain in responsible institutions, for wide sharing among stakeholders, an interoperable and user-friendly information system containing data and information on biodiversity (including its associated ecosystem services) values, functions, status and trends, and threats, and the consequences of its loss. This target is associated to two specific actions on improving the existing Clearing-House Mechanism and its accessibility to serve at the science-policy interface and facilitate more informed decision-making, and strengthening institutions and research providing relevant data and information. (NBSAP)

Belarus —
Target 12 of NBSAP 2016-2020 is mapped to ABT19 and aims to improve the scientific knowledge about the modern state of biological diversity, define trends and causes of the state dynamics of species and biotopes, elaborate effective measures for sustainable use and monitoring of biological diversity, and create a platform for the exchange of information and knowledge. Planned results include: maintenance of the State cadastres (registers) on flora and fauna; improvement of the forest inventory system; maintenance of the respective State cadastres (registers) on forests, land, water and greenhouse gas emissions; effective monitoring of flora and fauna and the ecological systems within protected areas; ensuring the annual ringing of migratory birds; and the establishment and operationalization of the national Clearing-House Mechanism. (NBSAP)

Antigua and Barbuda —
National Target 19 of NBSAP 2014-2025 is mapped to ABT19. This target aims to implement a knowledge management system for national biodiversity by 2020. Planned activities to achieve this target include inter alia: establishment of a forum where researchers, conservation managers and decision-makers can share information and determine the type of information that is most useful for improving the conservation of biodiversity; and establishment of the relevant national clearing-house mechanisms on biodiversity, biosafety and access and benefit-sharing (ABS) issues required through the Convention on Biological Diversity. (NBSAP)

New Zealand —
National Target 4 of NBSAP 2016-2020 is mapped to ABT19. This target aims to increase by 2020 the level of natural ecosystems that are benefiting from pest management. For example, actions are being carried out to protect kauri which are among the largest species of tree in the world and are only found in New Zealand, but are threatened by a disease thought to be introduced to New Zealand sometime in the middle of the 20th century. The disease is spread through infected soil and plant material and no natural resistance has been observed. The Kauri Dieback Programme is a partnership between government agencies, Māori and philanthropists and seeks to protect kauri by preventing people spreading the disease and investment in science to create new tools for disease management. (NBSAP)

Kenya —
Various actions have been implemented or are ongoing related to ABT19. For example, the integration of Science, Technology and Innovation in national productive processes was considered central to the success of the government’s policy priorities and programmes outlined in Kenya Vision 2030. The Natural Product Initiative was prioritized as one of the flagship projects of the Vision 2030 which aims to create an interface between indigenous knowledge and Science, Technology, Innovation and business expertise, spur home-grown innovation culture and promote quality production and growth while developing Kenyan unique products that meet national and international standards. Proposed policies include the Natural Products Policy, National Intellectual Property Policy, National Innovation Policy, and the Indigenous knowledge and Technology Policy. In addition, the following bills are under review: Biosciences Bill, Kenya Institute of Nanotechnology Legal Framework, and the Natural Products Bill. (6NR)

Albania —
The country has developed the BioNNA (Biodiversity National Network of Albania) web portal (http://www.bionna.al/), providing access to a data-sharing system to support NBSAP implementation. (6NR)

Venezuela —
In 2014, the country revised its Organic Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (Ley Orgánica de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación) whose purpose is to develop guiding principles in the area of science, technology and innovation and related applications. It also foresees the creation of the National Fund for Science, Technology and Innovation. The law promotes collaboration between government authorities and the people. (6NR)

Germany —
Various research projects are contributing to ABT19. For example, a project is underway to establish the basis for creating a uniform federal ecosystem monitoring method that can be used to obtain previously unavailable data about the status and development of ecosystems. Other work is being carried out to investigate the role played by road, railway and waterway verges in the conservation of biodiversity and ecological connectivity and what measures to promote biodiversity are possible when creating and maintaining transport infrastructure. Another example is the ‘Bridging in Biodiversity Science’ (BIBS) project which is investigating the various ecosystem processes and their interactions (aquatic-terrestrial, above ground-below ground) at various scales based on different environmental disciplines, as well as the processes by which biodiversity adapts to urban spaces. The integrative approach in BIBS is innovative and is leading to new knowledge in the area of biodiversity research. (6NR)

Republic of Korea —
The CBD-CHM Korea (www.cbd-chm.go.kr) has been established to manage and disseminate information on biodiversity and biological resources held by related organizations and the private sector in Korea. Relatedly, the Ministry of Science and ICT, in charge of the Korean Bioinformation Center, operates the Bio-Resource Information System (KOBIS). The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Forest Service, and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries are also respectively contributing data and information to this information system. Korea also continues to provide support for various ongoing projects, such the Bio-Bridge Initiative, Peace and Biodiversity Dialogue Initiative, Korean Biosafety Capacity Building Initiative, Forest Ecosystem Restoration Initiative, and the Sustainable Ocean Initiative, which is contributing to building capacity at the international level for implementing the Convention.
