Author ProfileAbstract
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.
