Beyond Target 15: Aligning Corporate Nature Actions to the Global Biodiversity Framework

The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) outlines 23 targets to achieve by 2030. To date, corporate action has been limited to target 15. This white paper from the Wildlife Habitat Council can help you understand how corporations can support many other GBF targets beyond target 15. To this end, it illustrates a number of on-the-ground corporate conservation actions. These include managing land to reduce biodiversity loss; restoring and conserving ecosystems; protecting species of concern; responsibly managing wildlife populations; controlling invasive species; and developing urban green spaces. For each action, it provides an explanation, identifies which targets it supports, and provides an example of a business that has applied the action. The paper concludes with a call to action for corporate landowners to ensure their nature-positive actions align with the targets of the GBF.
