    Target10
    By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning.
    Target11
    By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.
    Target12
    By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained.
    Target13
    By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of wild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as culturally valuable species, is maintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity.
    Target14
    By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, indigenous and local communities, and the poor and vulnerable.
    Target15
    By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification.
    Target16
    By 2015, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization is in force and operational, consistent with national legislation.

    Target18
    By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and their customary use of biological resources, are respected, subject to national legislation and relevant international obligations, and fully integrated and reflected in the implementation of the Convention with the full and effective participation of indigenous and local communities, at all relevant levels.
    Target19
    By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied.
    Target20
    By 2020, at the latest, the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 from all sources, and in accordance with the consolidated and agreed process in the Strategy for Resource Mobilization, should increase substantially from the current levels. This target will be subject to changes contingent to resource needs assessments to be developed and reported by Parties.

Overview

NDHU piloted community-based Resilience Assessment Workshops (RAWs) in 2015-2018. Despite the valuable results from these initial experiences, the following obstacles were observed: (a) ecological and socio-economic risks faced by socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) were not indicated; (b) Taiwan-specific themes were not reflected by the indicators; (c) the language and visual representation of the indicators were challenging for the local communities. In March 2020 the Forestry Bureau (Council of Agriculture, Taiwan, the FB) welcomed NDHU’s suggestion on conducting community-based RAWs in SEPLS across Taiwan through the network of eight (8) FB district offices.
By learning from “Indicators of Resilience in SEPLS” (Bergamini et al., 2014) and implementation of community-based RAWs, the project’s main objective is to develop a set of locally sensitive (comprehensive, comprehensible, and relevant) indicators of resilience tailored to the specifics of Taiwan’s SEPLS.
The Project will consist of four main types of activities: “Training of Trainers” workshops; community-based RAWs; dissemination of information (publications); and an experience-sharing event (symposium). It is intended to contribute to the following outcomes: 1) assist local communities in getting to know the threats facing their SEPLS’ resilience, determining work priorities and actions, and facilitating community dialogue through RAWs; 2) test (and, potentially, channel) RAWs as an adaptive landscape management tool applied nationwide by the FB district offices (the first time for the indicators of resilience in SEPLS to be employed by the government agencies) and consider its inclusion in Taiwan Ecological Network (TEN) 2022-2025; 3) share this experience with international partners at the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI), the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), and related post-2020 environment processes.
