Section 7 IPAs and existing legislation and programmes IPA legal status Important Plant Areas are not legal site designations. Instead, they provide a framework for identifying the best sites for wild plants, fungi and their habitats using consistent criteria and sound data. IPAs provide the best available data from the botanical and mycological communities, which is then available to inform national, regional and global protection and management schemes, including legally protected areas, site management planning, agri-environment schemes, forestry management and general awareness-raising projects. IPAs provide an important check on the plant conservation effectiveness of existing systems of national and international protected area systems, and biodiversity conservation strategies and policies. Although Important Plant Areas are not in themselves legally designated sites they do provide the framework for signatory governments to fulfil their obligations to meet the targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). Target 5 of the GSPC (Targets 1.4, 1.5 & 2.14 in the European Plant Conservation Strategy) requires signatory governments to ensure the protection of 50% of the most important areas for plants by 2010. IPA projects provide a framework for assessing and reporting on these targets. Principle of compatibility and support IPAs are not intended to compete with existing programmes and legislation. Instead they are designed to be compatible with a range of regional and global conservation initiatives. IPAs can provide essential information for the implementation of national conservation programmes, as well as contributing to the implementation of the legislation and conservation programmes detailed below.

Existing legislation & programmes IPAs and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the European Plant Conservation Strategy) Context The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) provides a framework for conservation action, from local and national biodiversity action plans up to regional frameworks. In April 2002, the implementation of the CBD received a fresh boost when the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was adopted by the Sixth Meeting of the Convention of the Parties (COP 6) in the Netherlands in 2002.The GSPC is the first part of the CBD to have clear, measurable targets, and was an initiative of the global botanical community. The European Plant Conservation Strategy (EPCS), developed by the Planta Europa network and the Council of Europe, was the first regional strategy designed to implement the global strategy. References Convention on Biological Diversity website (www.biodiv.org) Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, (www.biodiv.org) Planta Europa and the Council of Europe, 2002,The European Plant Conservation Strategy. (www.plantaeuropa.org) Recommendations IPA data on priority plant conservation sites made available to influence national policy through CBD focal points and the CBD Clearing House Mechanism. Targets The GSPC has 16 targets grouped into five objectives: documentation, conservation, sustainable use, education and awareness, and capacity building. IPAs provide the framework for implementing and reporting on Target 5 of the GSPC (Targets 1.4, 1.5 & 2.14 of the EPCS), and can contribute to Target 6 on production lands managed to be consistent with the conservation of plant diversity. ‘Target 5: Protection of 50% of the most important areas for plants assured by 2010’ The IPA projects in central and eastern Europe have demonstrated the cross-cutting nature of the other strategy targets on Red Listing, education and awareness, and capacity building for plant conservation. IPAs can also contribute to Articles, 6,7, 8, 12, 13 of the CBD on in-situ conservation and international cooperation. Government responsibility The governments of all seven national partners and also the European Union itself are signatories to the CBD.They are thus obliged to make an assessment and report on progress with Target 5 of the GSPC.The IPA programme provides a framework to achieve this target.
