As part of the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework, nations are assessing progress over the past decade in addressing the underlying drivers that influence direct pressures on biodiversity and formulating new policies and strategies for the decade to come. For marine conservation, global marine protected area (MPA) coverage is still falling short of the 10% target set in 2010. Here we show that while this reflects a lack of progress in many low- and middle-income countries, a few of these nations have met or exceeded international commitments. To provide an in-depth explanation of how this was achieved in Gabon, we summarize the lessons learnt by our consortium of policy makers and practitioners who helped implement a comprehensive and ecologically representative network of 20 MPAs. We show the importance of creating a national framework, building long-term stakeholder support, and focusing on research that guides implementation and policy; and outline a four-step approach that countries and donors could use as an example to help meet international commitments. By responding to calls to share lessons learned to inform future Convention on Biological Diversity targets, we show how Gabon's experiences could inform change elsewhere.

履行全球海洋承诺；加蓬的经验教训

作为 2020 年后生物多样性框架的一部分，各国正在评估过去十年在解决影响生物多样性直接压力的潜在驱动因素方面取得的进展，并为未来十年制定新的政策和战略。在海洋保护方面，全球海洋保护区 (MPA) 的覆盖率仍低于 2010 年设定的 10% 的目标。在此我们表明，虽然这反映了许多低收入和中等收入国家缺乏进展，但其中一些各国已经达到或超过了国际承诺。为了深入解释加蓬是如何实现这一目标的，我们总结了我们的政策制定者和从业者联盟的经验教训，他们帮助实施了一个由 20 个海洋保护区组成的综合性和生态代表性网络。我们展示了创建国家框架的重要性，建立长期利益相关者的支持，并专注于指导实施和政策的研究；并概述国家和捐助者可以作为帮助履行国际承诺的例子的四步方法。通过响应分享经验教训的呼吁，为未来的《生物多样性公约》目标提供信息，我们展示了加蓬的经验如何为其他地方的变化提供信息。
