Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 Country Dossier : Dominican Republic

Abstract

This document summarizes information on the coverage of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures as recorded in global databases. It includes data on the status of elements qualifying under Aichi Biodiversity Target 11. Discrepancies may exist between these statistics and official country reports due to variations in methodologies, datasets, or base maps used for measuring terrestrial and marine areas. Where available, national statistics are included alongside global records. The document also outlines commitments made under Target 11 and highlights potential opportunities for future planning. It was developed in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre, which manages the relevant global databases.
