This Atlas comprise general information about natural calamities, main entities facing the threat (e.g. buildings, population, GDP), various types of vulnerabilities (physical, social, ecological, economic) and risks typical to Georgia’s territory. This atlas was produced in the project “Institutional building for natural disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Georgia”, implemented by the Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN) and Faculty of Geo Information Science and Earth Observation, University of Twente (ITC), The Netherlands.

This volume gives the most up-to-date information on the distributions and conservation status of species in all inland water ecosystems across mainland continental Africa and the reasons behind their declining status. This represents the most comprehensive assessment yet of freshwater biodiversity at the species level for an entire continent. For managers, this information will assist in designing and delivering targeted action to mitigate and minimise these threats.
