​
The ASEAN Biodiversity Plan (2024–2030) provides a regional framework to guide biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and restoration efforts across ASEAN Member States. Aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the plan sets out 23 regional biodiversity targets and promotes coordinated action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. ASEAN is recognized as a globally significant biodiversity region, containing more than 25 percent of known species despite covering about 3 percent of the world’s land area, with over 660 million people depending on its natural resources. The plan emphasises ecosystem restoration, nature-based solutions, and strengthened regional cooperation to support environmental sustainability and socio-economic development.​
