Mainstreaming biodiversity into sectoral and cross-Sectoral strategies, plans and programmes : Module 3

The economic survival of various production sectors, and of the people depending on those sectors for their livelihoods, is intricately connected to the conservation and
sustainable use of biodiversity. The word "mainstreaming" can be used synonymously with "inclusion." Mainstreaming means integrating or including actions related to conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in strategies relating to production sectors, such as agriculture, fisheries, forestry, tourism and mining. Mainstreaming might also refer to including biodiversity considerations in poverty reduction plans and national sustainable development plans. By mainstreaming biodiversity into sectoral strategies, plans and programmes, we recognize the crucial role that biodiversity has for human
well-being.
