National Target 6: By 2020, fishing and aquaculture, agriculture and forestry are managed sustainably taking into consideration ecosystem specificities to ensure biodiversity conservation.
Fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, and forestry have not been managed sustainably leading to resource degradation. Capture fisheries are characterized by the use of wrong mesh size nets, while agricultural intensification so as to boost the country’s GDP and improve the livelihoods of the people has also had serious impacts on biodiversity (NBSAP, 2016). Forests have been seriously degraded mainly by illegal logging, encroachments, illegal and intentional fires, and other unsustainable practices. These unsustainable practices need to be addressed if the benefits that accrue from these resources are to be realized in the long term (NBSAP, 2016).
