KBAs is a wider integrated approach to the conservation and sustainable use of the natural environment.
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are defined as nationally identified sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. They represent the most important sites for biodiversity conservation worldwide, and are identified nationally using globally standardised criteria and thresholds that were adopted by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
