Abstract

Of the goals and targets specified by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Target 3, often referred to as “30 × 30,” has garnered widespread attention globally. In this paper, we critique India's potential to meet this target. We find that with its vast network of ecosystems that are under some form of protection and through the recognition of other effective area-based conservation measures sites, India has the potential to meet the quantitative target of conserving and managing at least 30% of its area by 2030. However, the qualitative attributes of the target might be more difficult to realize owing to several challenges, such as inadequate landscape connectivity, insufficient representation of habitats in the current protected area model, and the exacerbation of socioeconomic vulnerabilities of resource-dependent communities. To achieve strategic, inclusive, and equitable conservation, we suggest a four-pronged approach involving landscape-level biodiversity conservation, socially just and collaborative safeguarding of biodiversity, and relevant policy (re)formulation, informed and underlain by long-term research and impact monitoring. Although we focus on India, the issues we discuss are of broader relevance, especially for countries across the Global South that are also likely to be significantly impacted by the implementation of the target.

在印度实现 "30×30":潜力、挑战和前进之路
在《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》规定的目标和具体目标中,通常被称为 "30 × 30 "的具体目标 3 引起了全球的广泛关注。在本文中,我们对印度实现这一目标的潜力进行了分析。我们发现,印度拥有庞大的生态系统网络,这些生态系统都受到某种形式的保护,而且通过对其他有效区域保护措施地点的认可,印度有潜力在 2030 年前实现保护和管理至少 30% 面积的量化目标。然而,由于存在若干挑战,如景观连通性不足、当前保护区模式对栖息地的代表不足以及依赖资源的社区的社会经济脆弱性加剧等,该目标的质量属性可能更难实现。为了实现战略性、包容性和公平的保护,我们建议采取四管齐下的方法,包括景观层面的生物多样性保护、社会公正和合作性的生物多样性保护,以及相关政策的(重新)制定,并以长期研究和影响监测为依据和基础。尽管我们关注的重点是印度,但我们讨论的问题具有更广泛的相关性,特别是对全球南部的国家而言,这些国家也可能受到目标实施的重大影响。

期刊介绍: Conservation Letters is a reputable scientific journal that is devoted to the publication of both empirical and theoretical research that has important implications for the conservation of biological diversity. The journal warmly invites submissions from various disciplines within the biological and social sciences, with a particular interest in interdisciplinary work. The primary aim is to advance both pragmatic conservation objectives and scientific knowledge. Manuscripts are subject to a rapid communication schedule, therefore they should address current and relevant topics. Research articles should effectively communicate the significance of their findings in relation to conservation policy and practice.
