Overview:

• Loss of biodiversity has not stopped, despite current effort.
• 800+m dkk invested to turn from loss, to growth.
• Target of 30% of land dedicated to protected nature, with 10% being strictly protected. This is based on EU's targets.
• The main reason for loss of biodiversity, is the lack of high quality protected areas.
• High quality protective areas are defined as areas where nature is protected against both direct and indirect negative pressfactors i.e. negative human effects of human origin.
• Primary reason for terrestrials are too much space is used for agriculture.

Quote: "Biodiversitetsrådet anbefaler, at der etableres arealbaseret monitering af den brede biodiversitet og de understøttende naturlige økologiske processer i de beskyttede naturområder. En sådan monitering er nødvendig for løbende at kunne følge med i, om tiltag og indsatser er tilstrækkelige til at vende tabet af biodiversitet til fremgang." p.20

For monitoring the effectiveness of actions taken, the biodiversity council uses the 171 different biodiversity indicators, which are described in: https://dce2.au.dk/pub/SR465.pdf

For each type of land, it's categorized whether it has increasing or decreasing biodiversity in subgenres of plants, fungi or animals and how well current measures are performing.
