About

This class contains a series of strategies aimed at using government powers at all levels to protect biodiversity. There is a sequence embedded in this class that involves enacting or changing the legislation, policy, or standard and then promoting compliance or enforcement of it. Some organizations do both, others only one or the other. Includes Legislation, and Policies and Regulations as sub-categories.

This category is part of a standard classification of ‘Conservation Actions’ edited by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and in use by all major biodiversity conservation organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, Birdlife International, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wildlife Fund.
