National Target
Aichi Target 11: 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

In Sudan, most protected areas, except for four protected areas of Dinder Biosphere Reserve, Jebel El Dair Nation Park and Marine National Parks, lack management plans.Therefore, the selection and adoption of this national target will provide comprehensive and effective management measures for the protected areas. The adoption of the target will support the introduction of such management plans into the other protected areas..
The process of developing and adopting the national target was prepared in collaboration and partnership with all relevant stakeholders. The Red Sea coastal and marine administration opts for conserving 10% of its coastal and marine areas through effective and equitable management, well connected systems of protected areas and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes. The administration urges for the provision of institutional, legal and technical capacity building and the enforcement of environmental laws. The administration also aims to involve the coastal communities in adopting an environment base management system. It calls for establishment of new protected coastal and marine areas (salt marshes and mangroves), Improving the existing management plans and facilities for more involvement of stakeholders in the establishment of protected areas.
The action proposed under this target include:
• New protected Areas representing all ecological zones with new categories special emphasize on Inland fresh water, Nile, inland Lakes, Man Made Reservoirs.
• Establishment Protected Areas for species that not presented in PAs. And their habitat especially Nubian Ibex, Klipspringer.
• Improve management effectiveness by implementing existing management plans and formulate plans for areas without.
• Facilitate more stakeholders' involvement in establishment of Protected Areas
