Les Zones clés pour la biodiversité (KBA) sont des sites qui contribuent de manière significative à la persistance de la biodiversité mondiale. Les Lignes directrices pour l’utilisation d’un Standard mondial pour l’identification des Zones clés pour la biodiversité ont pour visée d’assurer que l’identification des KBA est basée sur des méthodes cohérentes, scientifiquement rigoureuses mais pratiques. Les Lignes directrices KBA présentent les étapes d’identification et de dé

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. The purpose of the Guidelines for using A Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas is to ensure that KBA identification is based on consistent, scientifically rigorous yet practical methods.

Illegal trade in wildlife has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, so have enforcement efforts aimed at mitigating this threat. Successful enforcement often involves the seizure and confiscation of wild species from diverse taxa of plants, animals and fungi. These confiscations may be parts of non-living specimens in the form of artefacts, food or medicinal products but, in many cases, they involve live individuals.

This situation analysis presents a thorough, evidence-based examination of the relationship between wildlife and zoonosis, wildlife and emerging human pathogens and associated diseases, their origins, drivers, and risk factors. There is considerable divergence of opinion around the subject both within and outside the biodiversity conservation community and given the ontological challenges and highly different perspectives, contradictory narrative is unsurprising.
