Conseguir y hacer posible que, para 2030, al menos el 30 por ciento de las zonas terrestres, de aguas continentales y costeras y marinas, especialmente las zonas de particular importancia para la biodiversidad y las funciones y los servicios de los ecosistemas, se conserven y gestionen eficazmente mediante sistemas de áreas protegidas ecológicamente representativos, bien conectados y gobernados de forma equitativa, y otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en zonas geográficas específicas, el reconocimiento de los territorios indígenas y tradicionales, cuando proceda, integrados en paisajes terrestres, marinos y oceánicos más amplios, velando al mismo tiempo por que todo uso sostenible, cuando proceda en dichas zonas, sea plenamente coherente con los resultados de la conservación, reconociendo y respetando los derechos de los pueblos indígenas y las comunidades locales.

Para 2020, a más tardar, las personas tendrán conciencia del valor de la diversidad biológica y de los pasos que pueden dar para su conservación y utilización sostenible.

Para 2020, se habrá reducido por lo menos a la mitad y, donde resulte factible, se habrá reducido hasta un valor cercano a cero, el ritmo de pérdida de todos los hábitats naturales, incluidos los bosques, y se habrá reducido de manera significativa la degradación y fragmentación.

Para 2015, se habrán reducido al mínimo las múltiples presiones antropógenas sobre los arrecifes de coral y otros ecosistemas vulnerables afectados por el cambio climático o la acidificación de los océanos, a fin de mantener su integridad y funcionamiento.

Para 2020, al menos el 17% de las zonas terrestres y de las aguas interiores y el 10% de las zonas marinas y costeras, especialmente las que revisten particular importancia para la diversidad biológica y los servicios de los ecosistemas, se habrán conservado por medio de sistemas de áreas protegidas administrados de manera eficaz y equitativa, ecológicamente representativos y bien conectados, y de otras medidas de conservación eficaces basadas en áreas, y estas estarán integradas a los paisajes terrestres y marinos más amplios.

Para 2020, se habrán restaurado y salvaguardado los ecosistemas que proporcionan servicios esenciales, incluidos servicios relacionados con el agua, y que contribuyen a la salud, los medios de vida y el bienestar, tomando en cuenta las necesidades de las mujeres, las comunidades indígenas y locales y las personas pobres y vulnerables.

Para 2020, se habrá incrementado la capacidad de recuperación de los ecosistemas y la contribución de la diversidad biológica a las reservas de carbono, mediante la conservación y la restauración, incluida la restauración de por lo menos el 15% de los ecosistemas degradados, contribuyendo así a la mitigación del cambio climático y a la adaptación a este, así como a la lucha contra la desertificación.

Para 2015, cada Parte habrá elaborado, adoptado como un instrumento de política, y comenzado a poner en práctica una estrategia y un plan de acción nacionales en materia de diversidad biológica eficaces, participativos y actualizados.

Para 2020, a más tardar, debería aumentar de manera sustancial, en relación con los niveles actuales, la movilización de recursos financieros para aplicar de manera efectiva el Plan Estratégico para la Diversidad Biológica 2011-2020, provenientes de todas las fuentes y conforme al proceso refundido y convenido en la Estrategia para la movilización de recursos. Esta meta estará sujeta a cambios según las evaluaciones de recursos necesarios que las Partes hayan llevado a cabo y presentado en sus informes.
