Another issue was the lack of indicators for tracking and reporting on wild species’ populations’ genetic diversity
(Hoban et al. 2020). Consequently, most countries reported “Unknown” for their progress (
https://www.cbd.int/aichi-targets/target/13), while a scientific assessment of progress on the Strategic Plan
(Tittensor et al. 2014) only quantified the status of threatened domestic breeds. As such,
(Díaz et al. 2020) called for more ambition for genetic diversity in the Post-2020 GBF,
and the CBD acknowledged gaps in genetic diversity indicators (CBD/COP/DEC/XIII/28, CBD/SBSTTA/24/INF/20, OECD 2019).
