Abstract

Biodiversity governance is the backbone to ensure biodiversity livelihood. The Government of Pakistan considered biodiversity as a major component by following the signing of the National Conservation Strategy in 1992. Although Pakistan is working towards coordinated management of biodiversity in ecological areas but could not achieve targets of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan and not fulfilled policy implementation to reverse biodiversity losses. Governance for effective biodiversity governance needs to be improved to counter some of the pressures that will enhance not only the status of the country but also the state of China Pakistan Economic Corridor. However, the author argues that the current system of biodiversity governance has been set up gradually and is too slow to achieve its objectives. This manuscript describes the current status, challenges, and problems of biodiversity action plan in and China-Pakistan Economic corridor biodiversity status in Pakistan.
