The CBD Aichi 2020 target 11
By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.

The world has already agreed
17 % of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 % of coastal and marine areas (…) conserved and effectively managed

Tourism can make it happen
Svalbard example:• Cooperation tourism operators and conservation NGOs
made Norway setting the Goal to make Svalbard the best managed wilderness area in the world
Basecamp Masai Mara (Kenya) • Developed a nature conservancy example with Masai
landowners
Costa-Rica example:• Linking tourism and conservation is the main goal
of the government

…Linking Tourism & Conservation

Svalbard : a leading LT&C-Example how Tourism is supporting Protected Areas
![Page 11: Linking Tourism & Conservation - Fylkesmannenprosjekt.fylkesmannen.no/Documents/Pasvik - Inari/Dokument/LC-T... · Tourism can make it happen Svalbard example: • Cooperation tourism](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071102/5fdc270855ada41408181c4d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Several challenges need to be addressed
Only 1% marine protected areas reached, far away from 2020 target of 10%
Many existing national parks are just “paper parks”
USD 30 billion/annum needed for managing effectively a global network of national parks (0.5% of the World’s Tourism turnover)
Tourism and conservation industry is fragmented, locally oriented and has conflicting interests

Vision
www.ltandc.org
LT&C envisions a world, where travellers are inspired by experiencing nature and the beauty of natural landscapes. This is supported through a global network of well-managed protected areas that represent the world’s diversity of habitats and ecosystems. Tourism business and individual tourists play a major role in supporting, implementing and sustaining this high quality network of national parks and protected nature areas.
