2 The BIS and its components
If one thinks about the BIN as a website, these four components represent the four top level menu items of the given website. The content that can be found under these menus
and its sub–components is described in detail in subsequent sections. Please not that the menu structure is not “cast in stone”; one should view it as a suggestion that might
be modiied and altered. An example front–page of the BIS is given in Figure 2.3.

– National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan NBSAP. This sub–component should, irst, provide general information about NBSAP. Secondly, informa-
tion about the Indonesian Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan IBSAP should be made available. For both a link to the Aichi Targets should be
established. If information is available for the proposed South Sumatran
565
Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan it should be provided under this sub– component.
– CBD National reports. For this sub–component the national reporting mech- anisms of the Convention should be described in detail. It may prove useful

570
the table of contents. If information about sub–national reporting is avail- able i.e., reporting for the South Sumatran Biodiversity Strategy and Action
Plan this information should be made available under this sub–component. Input for the irst three sub–components listed above are available on the CBD website
see the fact sheets under Programmes on the CBD landing page. Most of the text in
575
Section 1.2.1 to Section 1.2.5 have been extracted from these fact sheets. Whenever possible hyperlinks to relevant web resources should be provided for the
diferent sub–components. In addition the most recent IBSAP and, once available, the South Sumatran Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, should be made available for
