This National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan for Afghanistan has been prepared
by the National Environmental Protection Agency, with technical and advisory inputs
from relevant government agencies, non-governmental organizations, international
organizations and user groups at national and provincial levels. Its purpose is two-fold:
firstly, to provide the Government of Afghanistan with a policy document that will be
useful in guiding development of its future biodiversity conservation and management
programming, and secondly for communicating biodiversity conservation priorities in
Afghanistan to the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (a requirement of
all countries acceding to the Convention), to other government agencies in Afghanistan, and
to Afghanistan’s development partners.
