Namibia
has two important
reasons for
developing a
national
biodiversity
strategy and
action plan (NBSAP):
its constitutional
provisions for
safeguarding
biodiversity
(Article 95L), and
the requirements
of the
Convention
on Biological
Diversity (CBD),
to which Namibia
is a Party.
Namibia's
NBSAP is expected
to be presented to
Cabinet in June
2001 as a booklet
called
Biodiversity
and development:
Namibia's
strategic plan of
action for
sustainable
development
through
biodiversity
conservation,
2001-2010.
It has been
developed through
extensive
consultation by
the thematic
working
groups of the
National
Biodiversity Task
Force. It consists
of an introduction
to biodiversity
and sustainable
development
options for
Namibia; a core
text with
strategic aims and
targets (the
national
strategy); and
supportive annexes
which identify
priority
activities,
timeframes, lead
agencies,
supporting
institutions,
logical order of
implementation,
and indicative
budgets (the
national action
plan). |
