The first national policy on biological diversity was formulated in 1998. Following the introduction of aichi biodiversity targets 2010 - 2020, the policy has been reviewed and introduced as national policy on biological diversity 2016 -2025. It also forms part of Malaysia’s response to the convention on biological diversity’s strategic plan for biodiversity 2011 -2020. Since then, Malaysia has experienced rigorous development in terms of numerous housing and industrial areas, townships, and infrastructure. The country’s transition to becoming a developed, high-income nation has exerted various pressures on its biodiversity, leaving many species vulnerable, with some even facing threats of extinction. Nearly half of the nation’s plant diversity is facing various levels of threat. Other pressures that threaten Malaysia’s biodiversity include habitat fragmentation, invasive alien species, pollution, poaching, increasing competition for land, and climate change. The National Policy on Biological Diversity 2022 –2030, through its 5 goals, 17 targets, and 61 actions, provides the direction and framework for Malaysia to conserve its biodiversity, promote its sustainable use, and ensure fair and equitable sharing of its benefits in the face of increasingly complex challenges now and in the future.
