The document released by the Open Ended Working Group of the Post-2020 GBF in March 2022 (OEWG 3) did not officially update the GBF draft but did contain suggestions from Parties to the CBD, with many suggestions in brackets for later negotiations. Major improvements occurred, including several suggested previously (Hoban et al. 2020, 2021a; Laikre et al. 2021) - the culmination of extensive outreach effort (see Lessons). The percentage of genetic diversity to maintain was increased to 95%, the text was modified to emphasize genetic diversity ‘among and within populations’ and recognize ‘adaptive potential’. Maintenance of genetically distinct populations was also mentioned. Lastly, Target 4 added more specificity, highlighting ‘restoration of genetically depleted populations’ and various wording such as ‘all species’, ‘ex situ and in situ conservation,’ ‘species populations’, etc. Although other documents were released later in 2022 (see Table 1), no substantial changes occurred after OEWG 3.
