Hello! We begin our ‘KM-GBF Explainer Series’ with Target 1. Take a look at the glossary of phrases below that are included in the text of Target 1.
Target 1: Plan and manage all areas to reduce biodiversity loss

๐ฟ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ : In the normal sense, spatial planning refers to the systematic and organized process of managing and organizing the use of land, resources, and infrastructure in a specific area or region. With regards to Target 1, spatial planning is a method or process for analyzing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human uses and activities in a given area, to achieve various social, economic and ecological objectives. It may also include integrating biodiversity considerations using spatial data during land and sea-use planning exercises.
๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ: Effective management processes may be utilised instead of or as a complement to spatial planning to address land use and sea use change. This may include such things as environmental assessment, environmental impact assessment and strategic environmental impact assessment.
๐ฟ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Ecosystems can be generally considered to have integrity when their dominant ecological characteristics (e.g., elements of composition, structure, function and ecological processes) occur within their natural ranges of variation and can withstand and recover from most disturbances.
๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ: Indigenous peoples and local communities should have their rights respected, preserving their autonomy through free, prior, and informed consent. This involves full and effective participation in decision-making processes, aligning with national laws, international instruments, and human rights principles, including the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Recognition of local spatial planning, rooted in cultural and spiritual dimensions, led by indigenous peoples within their lands, is essential.
