The Relevance of the Key Biodiversity Area Network for Achievement of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

The purpose of this brief is to emphasise the importance of the Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) Network for achievement of the goals and targets of the GBF. Many people will already associate KBAs with Target 3, the target which has received the most attention up to and since the adoption of the framework. However, as will be shown here, KBAs are directly or indirectly relevant to nearly all of the goals and targets of the Framework.
