production areas managed<br />
consistently with the conservation<br />
<strong>of</strong> biodiversity<br />
National laws and<br />
regulations on<br />
resource management<br />
emphasis on<br />
sustainable<br />
availability <strong>of</strong><br />

biological resources or that impact<br />
on biodiversity reduced.<br />
Texts <strong>of</strong> application<br />
<strong>of</strong> regulations<br />

unsustainable<br />
water use reduced<br />
5.1 Rate <strong>of</strong> loss and degradation <strong>of</strong><br />
natural habitation decreased<br />
Soil, water & species<br />
conservation policies<br />

CBD Focal Point Ministry<br />
coordinates with other ministries<br />
for correct application <strong>of</strong> soil,<br />
