Status and trends of 2010 indicators taken from the Global Biodiversity Outlook with indicators selected in relation to the Kyiv target areas

KYIV TARGET AREA	HEADLINE INDICATOR	TREND IN RELATION TO BIODIVERSITY	REMARKS
Forests and biodiversity Agriculture and biodiversity Pan-European Ecological Network	Trends in extent of selected biomes, ecosystems, and habitats		While progress in relation to environmentally sound forestry and agriculture practices and implementing Natura 2000 in the EU Member States are positive, the overall Pan-European trends are negative
Forests and biodiversity Agriculture and biodiversity Pan-European Ecological Network Invasive alien species	Trends in abundance and distribution of selected species		Most species with limited population size and distribution are declining further, while some common and invasive species are becoming more common
Forests and biodiversity Agriculture and biodiversity Pan-European Ecological Network	Change in status of threatened species		The risk of extinction is increasing for many threatened species, although some species-recovery programmes have been very successful
Agriculture and biodiversity	Trends in genetic diversity of domesticated animals, cultivated plants, and fish species of major socio-economic importance	?	Although the genetic variety of cultivated species is declining, the impacts of the decline are generally not well understood
Pan-European Ecological Network	Coverage of protected areas		There has been a significant increase in the coverage of protected areas over the past decade, although efforts are needed to increase protected area coverage in marine ecosystems and the management effectiveness of protected areas should be improved
Pan-European Ecological Network	Connectivity in relation to fragmentation of ecosystems		Most terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly fragmented
Invasive alien species	Trends in invasive alien species		The number and rate of spread of alien species is increasing in all ecosystem types
Forests and biodiversity Agriculture and biodiversity	Area of forest, agricultural and aquaculture ecosystems under sustainable management	?	There are considerable efforts underway to increase the extent of areas of land under sustainable management; regional and national efforts on sustainable forest management are expected to contribute to this; areas maintained through traditional agricultural practices are decreasing although demand for organic farming is increasing, although these are still relatively small niches and major efforts are required to substantially increase the areas under sustainable management
