National Target
National Target 19: Implementation of science and technology capacity building for sustainable management of biodiversity
()
For the sustainable use of biological diversity, data collection and information regarding benefits and utilization of biological resources is necessary. These are related to the knowledge on biodiversity benefits that continually develop, and to the monitoring on the regulations regarding the sustainability of biological resources. Science and technology derived from the research are useful not only to recognize the benefits of biodiversity but also to develop it into life's necessities such as food and health and energy materials. At the same time, science and technology are also necessary to support the management of the sustainability of biological resources.
The formulation of National Targets was carried out in a participatory manner through (1) evaluation and mapping of suitability and implementation of the IBSAP 2003-2020; (2) as a whole, formulating action plans and programs for achieving national and global targets by updating data and information regarding the current status of Indonesian biodiversity and key documents such as the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2015-2019 and Government Work Plan in 2015 which are published by five Ministries/Government institutions, i.e. the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forestry (since January 2015, both ministries have merged and became the Ministry of Environment and Forestry), the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI); and (3) consultations, as the results of identification of national targets along with the action plans and programs, with relevant biodiversity experts, biodiversity managers in Ministries/Agencies, Regional Governments, private sector/biodiversity actors, and civil society organizations through various workshops, seminars, focus group discussions during the period 2013 - 2014 at the national level and some in the regional level (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2016, pp. 17-19).
