12 Friends of Target 12 A partnership to stem the tide of species extinctions Target 12: By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained. AIM: to support CBD Parties and others to achieve Aichi Biodiversity Target 12 by: 1. Providing practical guidance for implementation of actions to stop species loss 2. Raising awareness of initiatives and programmes on species conservation 3. Share experiences and promote synergies among those who work in species conservation Conservation International Through 2015, CI will work with IUCN to continue a review of the conservation status of all reptile species, and ensure that this Island sa dconservation o information is utilised by both international and By 2020, under the auspices of the "Small national conservation agencies, and policymaking organisations. Islands, Big Difference" campaign, Island Conservation and its partners will improve the conservation status tt of 200 Critically Citi Endangered d By 2015 CI will conduct rapid assessments of Species in eradicating invasive alien species from biodiversity at five field sites around the world, 500 islands of the planet strategically selected to leverage the creation of new conservation areas and mitigate environmental impacts, improving protection of threatened species.
