The revised NBSAP emphasizes the need for policy reform to support biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, institutional reform and strengthening to make new investment effective. Due emphasis is placed on the implementation of field based activities in the areas of research, ecotourism, forestry, wildlife, fisheries and water resources to consolidate and augment ongoing and proposed conservation projects in The Gambia. Although the plan is directed to all strata of Gambian society (from decision makers to rural farmers) recognizing that conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity is the duty of every Gambian, the projects and programmes proposed are designed for local communities as important stakeholders whose livelihood depend on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The updated action plan was prepared with the active participation of local communities from the herder, herbalist, trader and policy makers, through divisional and regional workshops and a national forum where the document is finalized. The key stakeholders for implementing The Gambia Biodiversity Strategy and Action plan includes the local communities and authorities, relevant government departments and agencies, Civil Society Organizations, the public sector and the donor community. The active participation and involvement of these key stakeholders and partners will ensure the success of the implementation of this striving national Action plan. The Convention on Biological Diversity was inspired by the world community's growing commitment to sustainable development. It represents a dramatic step forward in the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
