• 10,810,722 people in target areas with improved access to adequate safe water supply, a 254% increase from FY 2003.
• Baseline: 11,104,271 people in target areas with access to sanitation that meets sustainability standards. This measure serves as a baseline.

• 3,050,635 people in target areas with improved access to adequate safe water supply and/or sanitation that meets sustainability standards.

• Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission adopts initial set of conservation and management measures.
• With science-based input from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species continues to list marine fish species that meet its criteria.
• International Whaling Commission scientific committee reviews status of bowhead and gray whale stocks to set new catch limit recommendations.

• First conservation and management measures for Pacific tuna fisheries adopted in December 2005.
• Proposals prepared to list additional marine species for the next Conference of the Parties in June 2007.
• Strengthening current co-operation with other relevant organizations to ensure conservation and management of marine living resources in the Convention area in a manner consistent with international law.
• The Scientific Committee work on status review for bowhead and gray whales will deliver catch limit recommendations in 2007.

• Measures adopted form a basis for management of valuable Pacific yellowfin and bigeye tuna fisheries and slow the decline of these stocks.
• Controls allow better tracking of non-commercially traded marine species, particularly vulnerable sharks.
• Global implementation of simple changes to fishing gear or fishing patterns, largely developed in the United States, result in significant reductions in the number of endangered sea turtles killed in longline fisheries.
• Estimated illegal taking of toothfish decreased and seabird bycatch within the convention area also continued to decrease.
• The scientific integrity and diligence in bowhead and gray whale stock assessments should eliminate any credible scientific arguments against approving the 2008-2012 aboriginal subsistence quotas in 2007.

• New listings or additional protections for several marine species, including great white sharks.
• U.S. proposals led regional fisheries bodies to support broader implementation of measures to reduce turtle bycatch in longline fisheries.
• Resolution passed criticizing the Japanese research whaling program and requesting it be stopped immediately or replaced by non-lethal data collection.

• Additional States signed and effectively implemented the Indian Ocean Sea Turtle memorandum of understanding.
• U.S. continued to press for new and refined measures to reduce bycatch, including within regional fisheries bodies.
• U.S. and Taiwan encouraged responsible fishing practices and control capacity, as defined by the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.

• Several vulnerable marine species listed. Proposals rejected to downlist whale species and to allow trade in whale products.
• U.S. provided assistance to help developing States implement the Indian Ocean Sea Turtle memorandum of understanding and its associated Conservation and Management Plan.
• Renewed U.S. aboriginal bowhead and gray whale quota. Iceland began “scientific” whaling program.

• Northwest Atlantic yellowtail flounder stocks fully rebuilt.
• International Pacific Halibut Commission implements revised management measures for Pacific halibut based on results of multi-year assessment program.

The recovery of this stock, which was once so depleted it was subject to a ban on all directed fishing, reinforces the importance of science-based, precautionary management to rebuild valuable fish stocks. Sustainable harvests of yellowtail flounder continue to increase and now constitute one of the few healthy fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic.

Delays in completing the multi-annual assessment make scientific assessments of the condition of the Pacific Halibut stock more uncertain and delay anticipated changes in the fishing allocations between the United States and Canada.

• The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas deferred agreement on long-term recovery measures for Atlantic marlin until a new scientific stock assessment is conducted in 2006.
• New sharing arrangements for Pacific chum salmon negotiated through the Pacific Salmon Commission.
• Management measures implemented to halt decline of vulnerable North Atlantic skate stocks.

• Multi-year management strategy implemented for Eastern Tropical Pacific tuna stocks.
• Bowhead whale stocks increase 3.4 percent towards non-endangered levels.
• North Atlantic swordfish stocks fully rebuilt.

• 22,677,926 hectares under increased conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems.

• 69,467,880 hectares under improved management (biodiverse landscapes, forests, watersheds, agricultural, and natural landscapes), or 22% above the FY 2006 target.
• 19,690,815 hectares under increased conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems, or 13% below the FY 2006 target.

• 59,568,508 hectares under improved management (biodiverse landscapes, forests, watersheds, agricultural and natural landscapes), a 114% increase from the FY 2004 baseline.
• 199,433,269 hectares under increased conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems, a 944% increase from the FY 2004 baseline.

Baseline:

• 51,834,573 hectares under improved management (biodiverse landscapes, forests, watersheds, agricultural, and natural landscapes).
• 19,101,701 hectares under increased conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems.

• Implement the Ten-Year Plan for the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, designed to enhance and sustain environmental observation capabilities.
• Advance multilateral climate change science and technology partnership project-based activities through the Methane-to-Markets Partnership, the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy, the Earth Observation initiative, the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, and development assistance programs, in cooperation with developed and developing countries.

• Advanced the Global Climate Observing System through voluntary funding, capacity building, and technical support.
• Developed project-based activities under the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum and the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy.

• Launched new ministerial-level international initiatives on Earth observation, carbon capture and storage, and the hydrogen economy. U.S. hosts first Earth Observation Summit to encourage development and financial support for an integrated, sustained Earth observation system.
• USAID implemented climate-related activities with a total budget of $207 million, in 55 bilateral country missions, regional programs, and central offices. 4 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions were avoided and 27 million hectares/year were involved in activities that promote carbon storage and/or protect carbon sinks.
