Biodiversity in the Asia/Pacific region, 2021

Biodiversity in Asia/Pacific 2021 (pdf)
The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, but the diversity and ecosystem services are pressured by deforestation and forest degradation, wildlife trade, invasive alien species, increasing commercial and artisanal fisheries, climate change and expanding water infrastructure. A number of important initiatives are however increasingly supporting ecosystem services for human well-being and poverty alleviation and provide hope for mitigating the impacts of the pressures. Networks of protected areas are increasing steadily and interest in trans-boundary collaboration for protecting areas of high biodiversity is growing. Countries are further increasingly mobilizing resources to implement their National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plans (NBSAPs) using schemes that recognize the values of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
