Action plans

The Cameroon-Nigeria border region where the Cross River gorilla occurs is a biodiversity hotspot of global significance. The Cross River gorilla can therefore play a role as a 'flagship' species; the actions proposed in this plan ensure the survival of both this Critically Endangered ape and the region's immense biological wealth. This document represents the consensus of experts who met at a workshop in February 2012, in Limbe, South West Region, Cameroon. 

The Jamaican Iguana Recovery Group (JIRG) is a consortium of local Jamaican organizations and international conservation groups that held a workshop in July 2006 to formulate this Species Recovery Plan (SRP) for the Jamaican iguana. The document presents the priority conservation actions and organizational responsibility for those activities discussed at the workshop.

Preparing and implementing a national strategy and action plan will enable countries to translate the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources and the momentum it has created into an effective and comprehensive approach to the sustainable use, development and conservatin of their animal genetic resources. It will enhance their efforts to increase food production and food security, reduce povery and promote rural development.

This publication summarises the main findings of an assessment of the 2006EU Biodiversity Action Plan which reviewed the progress made on each of the 150 actions that made up the plan and an EU 2010 Biodiversity Baseline report produced by the European Environment Agency. It highlights the key achievements made under the ten key objectives of the 2006 EU Biodiversity Action Plan.
