Action plans

Ce plan d'action définit une stratégie de conservation des gorilles et des  chimpanzés en Afrique équatoriale occidentale.

Ce document est le fruit d'un consensus entre les agences de gestion forestière et de conservation de la faune au Nigeria et au Cameroun, des organisations non gouvernementales locales et internationales de conservation et des chercheurs affiliés à des universités, réunis lors d'ateliers organisés dans les deux pays pour formuler un ensemble d'actions, qui, si elle sont mises en place, pourraient amélior les chances de survie du chimpanzé du Nigeria-Cameroun. 

This document represents the consensus of views from forestry and wildlife conservation agencies in Nigeria and Cameroon, local and international nongovernmental conservation organizations, and university-based researchers who met at a series of workshops in Cameroon and Nigeria to formulate a set of actions that, if implemented, will increase the long-term survival prospects of the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee. 

The action plan lays out a conservation strategy for gorillas and chimpanzees in Western Equatorial Africa. The Endangered central chimpanzee Pan troglodytes troglodytes and the Critically Endangered western lowland gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla are undergoing a dramatic decline due to poaching, disease and habitat loss, driven by demands for bushmeat, a lack of law enforcement, by corruption, and by increased access to their once-remote habitat -- like the recent expansion of ind

Pangolins, or scaly anteaters, are unique in being the world's only truly scaly mammals, but are in dire need of urgent conservation action. Pangolins have been subject to very little conservation or natural history research, and consequently, little is known about their biology, ecology, and conservation needs. It was in response to this predicament that the IUCN SSC Pangolin Specialist Group was re-formed in 2012.

The Lesser Antillean iguana represents a unique component of the overall biodiversity of the Caribbean region. In October 2009, members of the IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group met on Dominica with regional experts and stakeholders to draft this comprehensive conservation action plan for the Lesser Antillean iguana. The overall goal of the plan is to prioritize the conservation actions necessary to ensure the long-term survival of the Lesser Antillean iguana throughout its natural range.

Through the long efforts of what began as a group of French volunteers, an exemplary Bat Action Plan has been produced by the Society for the Protection of Prespa at the transboundary level, significantly increasing the limited knowledge on bats in the Transboundary Prespa Park.
