| Target 1 |
By 2020, at the latest, the people of Samoa are aware of the values of biodiversity, the threats its faces, and the steps the Government and the people can take to conserve, protect and use it sustainably. |
1 |
| Target 2 |
By 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values have been integrated into national and local development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and are being incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems. |
2 |
| Target 3 |
By 2020, at the latest, incentives, including subsidies, harmful to biodiversity are reduced significantly, phased out or reformed in order to minimize or avoid negative impacts, and positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity are developed and applied, consistent and in harmony with the Convention and other relevant international obligations, taking into account national socio economic conditions. |
3 |
| Target 4 |
By 2020, at the latest, Government agencies, private sector organizations and groups, NGOs, civil society and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption and have kept the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits. |
4 |
| Target 5 |
By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced. |
5 |
| Target 6 |
By 2020, all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed and harvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem based approaches, so that overfishing is avoided, recovery plans and measures are in place for all depleted species, fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe ecological limits. |
6 |
| Target 7 |
By 2020, areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably, ensuring the conservation of biodiversity. |
7 |
| Target 8 |
By 2020, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity. |
8 |
| Target 9 |
By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment. |
9 |
| Target 10 |
By 2020, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning. |
10 |
| Target 11 |
By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascapes. |
11 |
| Target 12 |
By 2020, the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained. |
12 |
| Target 13 |
By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of wild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as culturally valuable species, is at least maintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity. |
13 |
| Target 14 |
By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, local communities, and the poor and vulnerable. |
14 |
| Target 15 |
By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification. |
15 |
| Target 16 |
By the end of 2015, Samoa has ratified and or acceded to the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization with national legislation enacted to support its implementation. |
16 |
| Target 17 |
By 2020 Samoa has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and is actively implementing an effective, participatory and updated national biodiversity strategy and action plan. |
17 |
| Target 18 |
By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and their customary use of biological resources, are fully protected by national legislation and relevant international obligations, and fully integrated and reflected in national and sector plans and budgetary processes. |
18 |
| Target 19 |
By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied. |
19 |
| Target 20 |
By 2020, at the latest, the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Samoa’s NBSAP 2015 – 2020, from all sources, is increased substantially from the current (2015) levels. |
