Le renforcement des compétences en « Gestion des aires protégées » demeure une priorité pour l’aménagement et la conservation des parcs et réserves en Afrique de l’ouest et centrale. Depuis 2008, plus de 150 acteurs (État, ONG, privé) et jeunes diplômés de plus de 15 pays ont suivi avec succès l’une des deux formations proposées par l’UICN en collaboration avec l’Université Senghor (Diplôme d’Université et Master).

Building capacities in protected area management is a priority for the development and conservation of parks and reserves in West Africa, since a wide range of knowledge and skills is required to manage protected areas, and since the training provided by most water and forestry departments does not include specific modules on protected areas.

A large number of approaches have been developed over the last four decades for identifying places of significance for biodiversity, but unfortunately this requires looking at multiple, disconnected databases and other information sources to understand the sites of importance in a particular area.

"The book presents an overview of how the IUCN Conservation Centre provides innovative solutions in terms of its environmental, economic and social performance, in addition to creating a truly aesthetic and functional built environment. Detailed information on the architectural concept; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering; structural engineering; and building exterior and interior of the building provide a further insight into this leading-edge building."

This toolkit, prepared through the Ad-Hoc Working Group on the Development of European National Committees in collaboration with IUCN national committees in Europe, gives background on the purpose of national committees within IUCN and provides guidance on establishing a national committee, using national committees as a mechanism for implementing projects, working with IUCN Commissions and communication tools and strategies.

L'année 2013 a insufflé un nouveau rythme, améliorant les attentes sur la capacité de l'UICN à obtenir des résultats dans une courte période de temps.

El año 2013 marcó la pauta y elevó el listón en términos de los que la UICN puede lograr en un corto período de tiempo. La Unión ayudó a las naciones a utilizar las defensas naturales para aumentar la resiliencia ante los desastres, mostró a las empresas cómo valorar el capital natural, movilizó a los gobiernos para frenar el reciente repunte en el comercio ilícito de vida silvestre, y produjo el primer índice de género y medio ambiente del mundo.

The year 2013 set a pace and raised the bar on what IUCN can achieve in a short time. The Union helped nations use natural defences to boost resilience against disasters, showed companies how to value natural capital, mobilized governments to curb the recent spike in illegal wildlife trade, and produced the world's first gender and environment index.
