Abstract

The aim of this Strategy is to make the diagnosis of the status of biological diversity in STP, and identify appropriate measures for their conservation and sustainable use. It also aims to incorporate, in the policies and development programmes, measures for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of biological resources for the benefit of all STP people and the CBD Parties. The agrarian ecosystems are a very diverse mosaic of natural habitats, used mainly for agriculture and livestock, from where an important part of the population gets its income, which thus becomes the fundamental basis to fight poverty (3.2).
