What do birds tell us about progress to the 2020 Biodiversity Targets and the post-2020 framework?

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
As the best known, most popular and most extensively studied and monitored group of widespread organisms in the world, birds are exceptional indicators of the status and trends of global biodiversity; please come along to find out what they tell us about meeting and setting biodiversity targets, and to receive a copy of the accompanying report.
HideDescripción
This session will present a new report summarising what indicators, analyses and other information on birds tell us about whether we have met the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Birds are effective environmental indicators, and data from birds can inform assessments of progress for nearly all of the Aichi Targets, indicating whether they were met and identifying some of the most effective responses to the biodiversity crisis. The report will emphasise examples of success or case studies of positive progress, to show that, while we have failed to meet most aspects of most of the Aichi Targets, this is not because we lack the solutions. Rather, birds show that there is hope, and that many more species can be saved if these proven solutions are adopted more widely, scaled up and adequately resourced. The session will also communicate the implications of these findings for a post-2020 biodiversity framework.
