Global decision taken at the Johannesburg summit in 2002 is concerned to reducing the loss of biodiversity by 2010. The framework of 16 headline biodiversity indicators has been agreed within the European Union members. The EU biodiversity headline indicators are customized to the European needs: - Trends in the abundance and distribution of selected species - Change in status of threatened and/or protected species - Trends in extent of selected biomes, ecosystems and habitats - Trends in genetic diversity of domesticated animals, cultivated plants, and fish species of major socioeconomic importance - Coverage of protected areas - Nitrogen deposition - Trends in invasive alien species - Impact of climate change on biodiversity - Marine trophic index - Connectivity/fragmentation of ecosystems - Water quality in aquatic ecosystems - Area of forest, agricultural, fishery and aquaculture ecosystems under sustainable management - Ecological footprint of European countries - Percentage of European patent applications for inventions based on genetic resources - Funding to biodiversity - Public awareness and participation Many countries have also developed indicators to monitor their biodiversity. A recent common target is the agreed set of new biodiversity related indicators Streamlined sets of European biodiversity related indicators content 10 new indicators: - Species of European interest - Habitats of European interest - Sites designated under the EU Habitats and Birds Directives - Forest: deadwood - Agriculture: nitrogen balance - Agriculture: area under management practices potentially supporting biodiversity - Fisheries: European commercial fish stocks - Aquaculture: effluent water quality from finfish farms - Patent applications based on genetic resources - Financing biodiversity management.
