The adoption of the revised and updated Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, including the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, signified a more comprehensive framework for managing and monitoring biodiversity. 

The global biodiversity indicators developed and brought together by the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership are the primary mechansim for monitoring progress towards the Strategic Plan and the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. In the first instance 13 of the 20 Aichi targets are covered by at least one of the BIP indicators. In the coming years the Partnership will endeavour to fill gaps and expand its set of indicators to ensure that comprehensive framework of global indicators is available to monitor progress towards the suite of Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

The search facility below enables you to search the indicators by Aichi Target, key policy question and the 12 headline indicators identified by the CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Indicators for the Strategic Plan. The Partnership also welcomes Organizations and institutions to join the BIP and suggest/submit their indicators for inclusion in the BIP suite.
