Fifth National Report to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity - Submitted by the National Environmental Protection Agency, 31 March 2014

This Fifth National Report to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity is an important update on our national efforts to protect Afghanistan’s precious biodiversity. As this report shows, we have a long way to go to achieve our own targets, as well as the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets; nevertheless, a new era of conservation in Afghanistan is dawning and the National Environmental Protection Agency, together with key partners, will continue its efforts to raise biodiversity conservation to a higher place on the national and local agenda.
