| Policy influencing/advocacy | The IUCN Biodiversity & Family Planning Task Force has researched and published its guidance, “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”. This guidance was written as an easy-to-follow guide on the background to the Convention on Biological Diversity; NBSAPs; the GBF targets; how to engage in national processes updating NBSAPs and the arguments which can be used, when engaging in that process, to gain references to family planning and/or PHE in them. This activity responds directly to the following call in WCC 2020 Res 072 “CALLS ON State Members to consider including the importance of rights-based voluntary family planning in their NBSAPs and other national planning documents that draw attention to the impact of human population growth on ecosystems and ecosystem services” The Task Force has made initial contact with the CBD national focal points of 28 countries, to implement the points stated in the guidance. |

Policy influencing/advocacy
Scientific/technical activities
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
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.

Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
Once advocates have registered as consultees on their NBSAP review, there are a range of potential points to be made when seeking references to the importance of removing barriers to voluntary and rights-based family planning and the PHE approach. 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.
Are these actions/activities planned?
Yes
