Abstract

The Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) is a strategic instrument, whose vision is that by 2028, biodiversity is restored and rehabilitated, valued, effectively managed and secured, maintaining ecosystem services to sustain healthy, resilient Filipino communities and delivering benefits to all. The PBSAP integrates and mainstreams the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) objectives into the national development and sectoral planning framework that includes measurable targets for CBD commitments. These objectives are: a) Conservation of biological diversity; b) Sustainable use of its components; and c) Fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.
