| National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan - Georgia | |
| 2005 Full Book | |
In comparison to other temperate countries Georgia has a notably rich and diverse flora, with a high level of endemism and taxonomic diversity. Vertebrate fauna is well represented in Georgia, with 84 species of native fish, 12 amphibians and 52 reptile species. Migratory birds visit Georgia in vast numbers, with over 300 bird species recorded in total, and 76 mammal species are also found in Georgia, including Caucasian endemics. This document, the Georgia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP), outlines a national 10-year strategy for the conservation of this country's unique biodiversity, supported by a 5-year plan for specific activities required to achieve the objectives of the strategy. Nine key areas or issues affecting biodiversity and conservation were identified, along with specific, more detailed problems relating to each of these issues. In order to provide a strategy for future actions to protect biodiversity, an overall vision for the future was produced, to describe the aim for the future status of biodiversity in Georgia. From this vision statement a series of long-term goals for biodiversity management in Georgia were developed, which reflect the nine key issues. These major strategic goals provide the basis for further development of the Strategy and Action Plan, providing a framework for more specific objectives, and for the actions and activities required to realise them. The Biodiversity Action Plan consists of a series of tables organise around the major goals. These Action Plan tables identify in detail what tasks need to be completed to achieve the conservation goals, including details of how these will be completed, when, by whom, and at what cost. Finally, the BSAP document provides an integrated approach |
