What is a KBA in biodiversity?
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) are 'sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity', in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems.
The Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (IUCN 2016) sets out globally agreed criteria for the identification of KBAs worldwide..
What is the meaning of KBAs?
Among the most diverse places on Earth, Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) contribute significantly to the planet's biodiversity and overall health.
These sites have proven to be a key tool for guiding decisions on conservation and sustainable management..

KBAs are identified using simple, standard criteria based on the conservation planning principles of vulnerability and irreplaceability .
The World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas hosts data on Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs).
This database can support strategic decisions on protected areas by governments, business and civil society towards achieving global biodiversity targets.

Among the most diverse places on Earth, Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) contribute significantly to the planet's biodiversity and overall health. These sites have proven to be a key tool for guiding decisions on conservation and sustainable management. Visit the Key Biodiversity Areas website.

KBAs can be used by governments in spatial and conservation planning to minimise biodiversity loss and negative impacts. The KBA dataset enables site based

What does the KBA Committee do?

The KBA Committee is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the KBA Partnership

The KBA Secretariat coordinates the activities of the KBA Partnership and ensures the delivery and promotion of the World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas

What is the KBA programme?

The KBA Programme supports the identification, mapping, monitoring and conservation of KBAs to help safeguard the most critical sites for nature on our planet – from rainforests to reefs, mountains to marshes, deserts to grasslands and to the deepest parts of the oceans

The KBA Partners have released their annual report for 2021

Why are KBAS important?

KBAs have global value for conservation, due to their outstanding ecological integrity, globally important ecosystems or significant populations of animals, fungi and plants

It is essential to identify, map, monitor and conserve KBAs in order to safeguard these critical sites for nature
