Synthesis of the Standard
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
Scope of application
Requirements
Objectives
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
Directive B.9 of OP-703
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
ESPS 6 defines Ecosystem Services as the benefits that people, including businesses, communities, and society at large, derive from ecosystems. They can be provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting. Depending on whether they directly affect the project, they can be considered priority. Borrowers must apply the mitigation hierarchy for impacts on priority ecosystems services.
Ecosystem services are not mentioned in Directive B.9
ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
Directive B.9 of OP-703
Borrowers will not significantly convert or degrade natural habitats, unless:
- There are no viable alternatives on modified habitats
- Stakeholders have been properly consulted
- Conversion or degradation managed using mitigation hierarchy
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
Natural habitat:
- Composed of viable assemblages of mostly native species, or
- No essential modification by human activity
Natural habitats are biophysical environments where:
- Biological communities are formed largely by native species
- Ecological functions are not essentially modified by human activity
- Provide priority ecosystem services
- Be vital to the functional integrity of ecosystems
- There are no feasible alternatives
- Comprehensive analysis demonstrates that benefits substantially outweigh environmental costs
- There is adequate mitigation and compensation
NATURAL HABITAT
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Directive B.9 of OP-703
CRITICAL HABITAT
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
ESPS 6 defines critical habitat as areas with high biodiversity value. The IDB will only carry out projects that demonstrate that:
- there are no other viable alternatives to develop the projects on habitats that are not critical
- the project will not lead to measurable adverse impacts on biodiversity values, and
- will not lead to a net reduction in the population of any endangered or critically endangered species.
Directive B.9 defines Critical natural habitat as areas of high conservation value, including all protected areas and Ramsar sites The IDB will not support operations and activities that in its opinion significantlyconvert or degrade critical natural habitats.
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
IUCN: International Union for Conservation of Nature
Directive B.9 of OP-703
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
Legally protected areas or internationally recognized areas of high biodiversity value:
- IUCN Categories I to VI
- World Heritage Sites
- Ramsar Sites
- Core areas of World Biosphere Reserves
- Areas on the UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas
- World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas Sites
- Sites meeting the criteria of the IUCN 2016 Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas
Protected categories include:
- IUCN Categories I to VI
- World Heritage Sites
- Ramsar Sites
- Core areas of World Biosphere Reserves
- Areas on the UN List of National Parks and Protected Areas
PROTECTED AREAS
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Areas of high biodiversity value include: AZE: Alliance for Zero Extinction sites KBA: Key Biodiversity Areas IBA: Important Bird Area
Directive B.9 of OP-703
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
Critical habitats are considered
They are considered "critical natural habitats"
AREAS OF HIGH BIODIVERSITY VALUE
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Directriz B.9 de la OP-703
IUCN Red List categories for species extant in the wild: CR: Critically Endangered - EN: Endangered VU: Vulnerable - NT: Near Threatened LC: Least Concern
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
ESPS 6
Critical habitats are considered:
- For CR and EN species, if they meet the thresholds of the criteria of the IUCN Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (2016)
- For VU and NT species, if they meet the thresholds outlined in the ESPS 6 Guidelines
- If the species categorization does not correspond with those of IUCN, there will be an assessment to determine if there is a critical habitat
All areas of known high conservation value crucial for species on the IUCN red list with category CR, EN, VU, NT are considered “critical natural habitats”
THREATENED AND PROTECTED SPECIES
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Directive B.9 of OP-703
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
Habitats supporting globally significant concentrations of migratory species and/or congregatory species as per the thresholds of the IUCN 2016 Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas and the Bank's ESPS 6 Guidelines are considered Critical Habitats.
All areas considered critical to the viability of migratory routes for migratory species are considered 'critical natural habitats'.
MIGRATORY OR CONGREGATORY SPECIES
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Directive B.9 of OP-703
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
Areas of substantial importance for endemic or restricted-range species are considered critical habitats when they meet the applicable thresholds of the UCN 2016 Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas.
Not explicitly mentioned, their presence may qualify an area as of high conservation value.
ENDEMIC OR RESTRICTED-RANGE SPECIES
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6
Tilapia, (Oreochromis niloticus).
- Prevent the spread of alien species already introduced and, where possible, take measures to eradicate them from natural habitats.
- No deliberate introduction of exotic species with a high risk of invasive behavior regardless of regulatory framework. Measures to avoid their introduction including the transportation of substrates and vectors that may harbor alien species.
Directive B.9 of OP-703
Alien species: species introduced outside their normal range. Invasive species: that is not native to (or is alien) to the ecosystem in question and whose introduction causes or may cause harm to the economy, to the environmental, or to human health.
ESPS 6
B.9 and ESPS 6: similar but different
HOME
- No intentional introduction of new alien species unless done in accordance with the existing regulatory framework for such introduction.
The Bank will not support operations through which invasive species are introduced.
