| National Target A.1. |
By 2020, at least 50% of the population of Georgia is informed about biodiversity; this segment of the populace is aware of the value biodiversity provides to society and the economy, knows about the ways it is threatened, and is acquainted with the steps necessary to mitigate those threats |
1 |
| National Target A.2. |
By 2020, significantly more people, especially local populations, are interested and effectively taking part in decision making processes that contribute both to conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and to biosafety |
1 |
| National Target A.3. |
By 2020, sustainable use and the economic values of biodiversity and ecosystems are integrated into legislation, national accounting, rural development, agriculture, poverty reduction and other relevant strategies; positive economic incentives have been put in place and incentives harmful to biodiversity have been eliminated or reformed |
2, 3 |
| National Target A.4. |
By 2020, an effective and fully functional national biosafety system has been put in place ensuring adequate protection of the country’s biodiversity from any potential negative impact from living modified organisms |
1, 7 |
| National Target B.1. |
By 2020, negative factors directly affecting threatened natural habitats have been significantly reduced through the sustainable management of at least 60% of these habitats, including at least 60% of forests, 80% of wetlands and 70% of grasslands. |
5 |
| National Target B.2. |
By 2020, alien invasive species have been assessed with regard to their status and impact; their pathways have been evaluated and identified, and measures are in place to prevent their introduction and establishment through the management ofthese pathways; no new alien species have been recorded |
9 |
| National Target B.3. |
By 2020, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not detrimental to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity |
8 |
| National Target B.4. |
By 2020, the management of agricultural ecosystems and natural grasslands is improved |
7, 14, 15 |
| National Target B.5. |
By 2020, the impact of fisheries on stock, species and ecosystems is within safe ecological limits |
6 |
| National Target B.6. |
By 2020, a national system of sustainable hunting is in place which ensures the viability of game species |
|
| National Target C.1. |
By 2020, the status of biodiversity has been assessed through the improvement of scientific and baseline knowledge and the establishment of an effective monitoring system |
12 |
| National Target C.2. |
By 2020, the status of species - including 75% of “Red List” species - has been considerably improved through effective conservation measures and sustainable use |
12 |
| National Target C.3. |
By 2020, forest biodiversity is safeguarded through sustainable management policies and practices |
11 |
| National Target C.4. |
By 2020, at least 12% of the country’s terrestrial and inland water areas and 2.5 % of marine areas are covered by protected areas; areas of particular importance for ecosystem services are effectively and equitably managed via an ecologically representative system and other effective conservation measures; development of the protected areas network and its integration into the wider landscape and seascapes is ongoing |
5, 11, 14, 15, 18 |
| National Target C.5. |
By 2020, the genetic diversity of farmed and domesticated animals, cultivated plants and of their wild relatives, including other socioeconomically as well as culturally valuable species, is maintained; strategies have been developed and implemented for safeguarding their genetic diversity |
13 |
| National Target C.6. |
By 2020, the pressure of human activities on the Black Sea and inland waters has decreased; the integrity and functioning of the aquatic ecosystem are preserved |
|
| National Target D.1. |
