It also has impacts to the productivity and economic output of primary industries such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as threatening the integrity and biodiversity of natural ecosystems and their processes. The project objective to equip and empower local communities to safeguard Samoa\u2019s indigenous species, natural ecosystems and food production systems from IAS and unsustainable land use practices is to be achieved through the implementation of three interrelated and mutually complementary Components that are focused on addressing existing barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”NBSAP & 7th National Report to CBD” image_icon_width=”69px” content_max_width=”768px” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ header_font=”Montserrat|on|||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#353740″ header_font_size=”26px” header_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Montserrat||||” body_text_color=”#747d88″ body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” animation_style=”zoom” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#dddddd” border_style_all=”solid” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#dddddd” icon_font_size=”60px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This Global Programme will support countries in revising and updating their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to align with the recently agreed upon Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and enable effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework at the national level.
