Related Strategic Goals/Aichi Targets |
| Goal A |
By 2020, Canada's lands and waters are planned and managed using an ecosystem approach to support biodiversity conservation outcomes at local, regional and national scales. |
18 |
| Target 1 |
By 2020, at least 17 percent of terrestrial areas and inland water, and 10 percent of coastal and marine areas, are conserved through networks of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures. |
11 |
| Target 2 |
By 2020, species that are secure remain secure, and populations of species at risk listed under federal law exhibit trends that are consistent with recovery strategies and management plans. |
12 |
| Target 3 |
By 2020, Canada's wetlands are conserved or enhanced to sustain their ecosystem services through retention, restoration and management activities. |
4, 5, 14, 15 |
| Target 4 |
By 2020, biodiversity considerations are integrated into municipal planning and activities of major municipalities across Canada. |
2 |
| Target 5 |
By 2020, the ability of Canadian ecological systems to adapt to climate change is better understood, and priority adaptation measures are underway. |
19 |
| Goal B |
By 2020, direct and indirect pressures as well as cumulative effects on biodiversity are reduced, and production and consumption of Canada's biological resources are more sustainable. |
|
| Target 6 |
By 2020, continued progress is made on the sustainable management of Canada's forests. |
4, 5, 7 |
| Target 7 |
By 2020, agricultural working landscapes provide a stable or improved level of biodiversity and habitat capacity. |
5, 7 |
| Target 8 |
By 2020, all aquaculture in Canada is managed under a science-based regime that promotes the sustainable use of aquatic resources (including marine, freshwater and land based) in ways that conserve biodiversity. |
4, 7 |
| Target 9 |
By 2020, all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed and harvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem-based approaches. |
8 |
| Target 10 |
By 2020, pollution levels in Canadian waters, including pollution from excess nutrients, are reduced or maintained at levels that support healthy aquatic ecosystems. |
8 |
| Target 11 |
By 2020, pathways of invasive alien species introductions are identified, and risk-based intervention or management plans are in place for priority pathways and species. |
9 |
| Target 12 |
By 2020, customary use by Aboriginal peoples of biological resources is maintained, compatible with their conservation and sustainable use. |
18 |
| Target 13 |
By 2020, innovative mechanisms for fostering the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity are developed and applied. |
3, 4 |
| Goal C |
By 2020, Canadians have adequate and relevant information about biodiversity and ecosystem services to support conservation planning and decision-making. |
|
| Target 14 |
By 2020, the science base for biodiversity is enhanced and knowledge of biodiversity is better integrated and more accessible. |
19 |
| Target 15 |
By 2020, Aboriginal traditional knowledge is respected, promoted and, where made available by Aboriginal peoples, regularly, meaningfully and effectively informing biodiversity conservation and management decision-making. |
18 |
| Target 16 |
By 2020, Canada has a comprehensive inventory of protected spaces that includes private conservation areas. |
11, 19 |
| Target 17 |
By 2020, measures of natural capital related to biodiversity and ecosystem services are developed on a national scale, and progress is made in integrating them into Canada's national statistical system. |
1 |
| Goal D |
By 2020, Canadians are informed about the value of nature and more actively engaged in its stewardship. |
|
| Target 18 |
By 2020, biodiversity is integrated into the elementary and secondary school curricula. |
1 |
| Target 19 |
By 2020, more Canadians get out into nature and participate in biodiversity conservation activities. |
