Conservation Pathways

What are the Conservation Pathways? 

By ‘Conservation Pathways’ we are referring to the policy options for biodiversity conservation outlined in Target 3 of the new Global Biodiversity Framework Kunming-Montreal (adopted at COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity in December 2022), which include protected areas (PAs), other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) and recognition of indigenous and traditional territories (ITTs). 

This document was prepared in 2024 to support preparations for the CBD COP16 in Cali, Colombia as part of the Conservation Pathways project being implemented by the Forest Peoples Programme. It is intended to be used as an introductory report, particularly for Indigenous Peoples and forest peoples, and is written from a human rights perspective.
