Recital B
B. whereas the 2050 Vision adopted under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is “Living in harmony with nature” where “by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, according to the principles of sustainable development, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering material, cultural and environmental benefits essential for all people”;
Amendment 10 #
Recital D a (new)
Da. whereas biomonitoring and the various forms of biodiversity protection implemented at the EU level - the Natura 2000 network, for example - are a key part of nature conservation, but are not enough to protect ecosystems, species and genetic diversity;
Amendment 15 #
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that the protection of global biodiversity is an essential challenge and thus a strategic EU interest that should receive the highest political attention; calls on the Commission and Member States to actively engage, particularly through their external instruments, with third countries - especially those bordering the EU - to promote and strengthen biodiversity conservation measures and governance, in particular in all multilateral agreements;
Amendment 16 #
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses the need for a comprehensive governance regime addressing biomonitoring and the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services by expanding the range of nature protection tools; calls on the EU and the Member States to remain strongly committed to further strengthening the Convention on Biological Diversity and to take a leading role in the preparation for the post-2020 framework, in particular in the run up to the fourteenth and fifteenth meetings of the Conference of the Parties, and to transparently set out their visions and priorities for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework;
Amendment 19 #
Paragraph 4

Amendment 23 #
Paragraph 5
5. Believes it to be critical to address key drivers of biodiversity loss with a long- term strategic approach and to develop recommendations for identifying and safeguarding strategic areas based on the sensitivity of an area, the presence of endangered species or identified knowledge gaps and/or effective management, to limit losses of biodiversity and negative impacts on indigenous and local communities’ territories and livelihoods and on various geographical levels (hydrosphere, atmosphere, litosphere and humusphere);
Amendment 32 #
Paragraph 8
8. Underlines the need to increase ambition and functioning for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework; calls on the Commission and Member States to actively pursue the development of clear performance indicators, biomonitoring, tracking instruments and peer review/reporting mechanisms to improve the transparency and accountability for Parties and the overall effectiveness of the next Biodiversity Strategy Plan;
Amendment 36 #

Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a.

Amendment 53 #
Paragraph 16 b (new)
16a. Stresses that the condition of abiotic natural elements and their protection have a direct impact on biodiversity. Water or air pollution and natural disasters such as floods and volcanic eruptions can irreversibly deteriorate endangered species of plants or animals. stresses, therefore, the need to make it possible for account to be taken of biodiversity in other strategies relating to the abiotic environment - the protection of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and pedosphere;
Amendment 54 #
Paragraph 16 c (new)
