Protected areas

The goal of this toolkit is to help promote environmental stewardship and increase awareness of marine and coastal ecosystems among schoolchildren in Asia through the use of creative, investigative approaches. Investigative approaches allow schools to make the local environment relevant and interesting to children in coastal communities and help to reinforce the need for wise and sustainable management of our coastal and marine resources.

Les aires protégées du Togo sont soumises à de fortes pressions, essentiellement dues à l’influence des populations. De même, la diversité faunique reste très menacée. Cette étude avance un certain nombre de recommandations pour tenter d’améliorer cette situation à court et à moyen terme.

Les aires protégées du Niger couvrent environ 6,6% du territoire national. Souvent, l’inadéquation des ressources humaines disponibles, combinée au climat d’insécurité qui règne dans certaines zones, rend ces aires protégées vulnérables aux multiples pressions qui s’exercent sur elles, telles que le braconnage, l’utilisation illégale des terres, l’exploitation du bois et des produits forestiers non ligneux ou l’exploitation minière.

Cet ouvrage vous présente l’éventail des outils dédiés à la conservation des espaces naturels en France métropolitaine et d’outre-mer, qu’ils soient réglementaires, contractuels ou fonciers. Cette diversité est un atout et une richesse : ils offrent la possibilité de s’adapter aux différentes situations rencontrées et aux différents objectifs de protection recherchés.

Afin d’expliquer et de comprendre cet état de fait, la présente étude a pour but d’analyser la situation actuelle de l’écotourisme dans les aires protégées d’Afrique de l’Ouest, et de proposer une stratégie qui servirait de modèle de gestion conforme avec les objectifs des conventions internationales et du développement durable.

A system plan is the design of a total reserve system covering the full range of ecosystems and communities found in a particular country, identifying the range of purposes of protected areas and the relationships among the system components (i.e. individual areas, protected areas and other land uses), and different sectors and levels of society.

This publication proposes a framework for assessing management effectiveness, recognising the need for a variety of responses depending on needs and resources. It aims to help all those who wish to assess protected areas, both in suggesting what needs to be done and in providing some guidelines. It includes six practical case studies from Australia, the Congo Basin, Central America, South America and the USA

Protected areas are vital for life on earth. They safeguard biological and cultural diversity, help to improve the livelihoods of local communities, provide the homelands for many indigenous peoples and bring countless benefits to society at large. It is now generally understood that conservation planning cannot just be site-specific; plants and animals do not recognize national boundaries, nor do many of the forces that threaten them.
