Resumen

The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is a document with a multi-sectoral approach aimed to safeguard natural resources and ecosystems while still allowing for their efficient and sustainable utilization as a driver of economic growth and development. The NBSAP seeks to establish a strong and effective management system for specific species, vulnerable ecosystems and protected areas. The overall objective of the NBSAP is to ensure the biological diversity of Antigua and Barbuda is sustainably and equitably used, protected and conserved so that it contributes positively to the social and economic development of the country. In achieving this objective, the strategy seeks to ensure the realization of the following goals: (a) a national system, including protected areas, for the management and conservation of biodiversity is established; (b) the strengthening of the capacity of government natural resources management institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations; (c) ecological legislation providing adequate protection of biological diversity is improved or developed where necessary, enacted and enforced; (d) public awareness of environmental issues, ecological education and public participation in decision-making is strengthened. The outline of the strategy covers the full scope of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
