The Task Force that was set up under the auspices of WCC 2020 Res 072 researched and published the guidance document “Reproductive choice in national biodiversity policy: Guidance on how to ensure PHE and removing barriers to rights-based and voluntary family planning are included in NBSAPs” to enable IUCN Members and others to support State Members implement this resolution. Conservation policy is becoming progressively holistic due to the work and there is a growing understanding of reproductive health and rights within conservation policy and practice.

Briefly describe what future actions are needed for the implementation of this Resolution:

In the guide, ten suggestions are provided. Supported by the IUCN Biodiversity & Family Planning Task Force, advocates are now engaging in review processes to implement the calls in the newly published guide.
