measures are in place for all depleted species,
fisheries have no significant adverse impacts
on threatened species and vulnerable
ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on
stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe
ecological limits.
Trends in extinction risk of
target and by-catch aquatic
species
Over a 30-year period, total
sturgeon catches in the
Caspian Sea have declined
dramatically - from 27
thousand tonnes to less than
one thousand tonnes
Target 7 - By 2020 areas under agriculture,
aquaculture and forestry are managed
sustainably, ensuring conservation of
biodiversity.
Trends in area of forest,
agricultural and aquaculture
ecosystems under sustainable
management.
Target 8 - By 2020, pollution, including from
excess nutrients, has been brought to levels
that are not detrimental to ecosystem function
and biodiversity.
Trends in water quality in
aquatic ecosystems.
Trends in proportion of
untreated wastewater
discharged into the
environment.
The volume of untreated
wastewater discharged into the
environment increased from
170 million cubic metres in
2000 to 220 million cubic
metres in 2012.
Trends in emission to the
environment of pollutants
relevant for biodiversity.
Atmospheric emissions
remained constant: 1054
thousand tons/annum in 2005
to 1076 tons/annum in 2012.
Target 9 - By 2020, invasive alien species
and pathways are identified and prioritized,
priority species are controlled or eradicated,
and measures are in place to manage

Target 10 - By 2015, the multiple
anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and
other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by
climate change or ocean acidification are
minimized, so as to maintain their integrity
and functioning.
Trends in extent, and rate of
shifts of boundaries, of
vulnerable ecosystems.
Strategic Goal C: To improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding
ecosystems, species and genetic diversity
Target 11 - By 2020, at least 17 per cent of
terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of
coastal and marine areas, especially areas of
particular importance for biodiversity and
ecosystem services, are conserved through
effectively and equitably managed,
ecologically representative and well-
connected systems of protected areas and
other effective area-based conservation
measures, and integrated into the wider
landscapes and seascapes.
Trends in representative
coverage of protected areas and
other area based approaches,
including sites of particular
importance for biodiversity,
and of terrestrial, marine and
inland water systems
Azerbaijan’s current protected
area system totals 892,546ha
ha (~10.3% of the country) and
comprises nine National Parks
(322,306 ha); eleven State
Nature Reserves (209,083 ha);
and twenty four State Nature
Sanctuaries (361,157 ha)

Target 12 - By 2020 the extinction of known
threatened species has been prevented and
their conservation status, particularly of those
most in decline, has been improved and
sustained.
