The Satyama Initiative shares the same visin. Actins in sci-eclgical prductin landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) can cntribute t achieving many f the Aichi Bidiversity Targets: 1. Peple s awareness; 4. Sustainable cnsumptin and prductin; 6. Marine living resurces management; 7. Sustainable agriculture, aquaculture and frestry; 11. Prtected areas; 13. Genetic diversity; 14. Ecsystems and essential services; 15. Ecsystems restratin and resilience; 17. NBSAPs; 18. Traditinal knwledge; 19. Knwledge, science, technlgies Visin Realizing scieties in harmny with nature 3

4 Sustainable Develpment Gals (SDGs) and the Satyama Initiative Ri+20 in Ri de Janeir in 2012 fcused n achieving sustainable develpment and alleviating pverty by transitining t a green ecnmy. Addressing issues n bidiversity and ecsystems is essential fr sustainable develpment. Currently prpsed SDGs by the Open Wrking Grup n SDGs include many gals related t bidiversity and ecsystems, including: Gal 2 n fd security Gal 6 n water and sanitatin Gal 12 n sustainable cnsumptin and prductin Gal 11 n cities and human settlements. Gal 14 n ceans and casts Gal 15 n terrestrial bidiversity Scially and eclgically sund appraches in prductin activities will play key rles in cnserving bidiversity and ecsystems while cntributing t pverty reductin. Activities in the Satyama Initiative shuld explre and demnstrate such appraches and accumulate successful mdels and experiences. 4
